Well actually ive been working on the 4" exhaust since yesterday morning. Upto the last bit under the sway bar and upto the rear muffler! Then I can drop it all and tig it all up.

Ill put some pics up soon of what ive made so far.

Quick need pics!

[r33_racer]

ok ok lol. Here you go.

Sorry about the poor visability, but there is a lack of light under the car for the camera.

[zebra]

looks great! wanna come down an do the Soarers exhaust

[r33_racer]

Thanks.

Or you could bring it up here lol. But I might struggle, the exhaust is on the wrong side of the car in those damn toyotas

[zebra]

haaha, Well it has a dual exhaust, so only a half is on the wrong side

[r33_racer]

Its got a 2J or the v8?

[zebra]

1J, so single into dual after the cat

[r33_racer]

Ah ok. Lol, so single 4" all the way from turbo right? Thats what you need!

[zebra]

haha eventually

for 4" thats pretty tucked, nice work.

hard mounted to the gearbox hence the need for the flex joint?

Yeh its come up pretty good so far, alot higher then I imagined it would be, however when I let one of the zip ties goes holding it in place just before the first muffler, that may all change abit.

Im still using the factory rubber bracket off the gbox, you just cant see it too well in the pictures. Flex pipe is just added security I guess.

will help when the muffler kisses speedbumps later in life anyway

[r33_racer]

lol, IF IT kisses any speed bumps. Im considering bumping the ride height up a little bit too, as the tires scrub out sometimes. Maybe another 15mm rise in height will help prevent that from happening.

thought about adding some small plates from the lip of the middle muffler to the pipe as a brace and also to help stop it catching on anything?

[r33_racer]

No I didnt actually, but thats a pretty good idea incase that becomes an issue. The last muffler didnt catch there, but that was only 3". There is a good chance it may happen now with this 4" system. I will look at that tonight!

[zebra]

I might use this idea too

as my brother just mentioned it to me earler, it may pay to do a similar thing to the flex bellows except like a heat shield so you dont catch and tear holes in it.
