I went through 4 different exhaust setups until I was happy with what I have at the moment.

Just be carefull of the Jap exhausts, some of them are only quiet because they restict them, I bought an Apexi N1 which was advertised as a 3.5inch system and 'quiet' only to find it had a 2.5 inch silencer welded in it! We cut it out and it flowed really well but too loud for me!

I ended up goin full custom exhaust, the mufflers (10inch x 7 x 16) I sourced from S.M.B and went with the largest 3.5 inch offset mufflers and custom piping.

They are fantastic quality mufflers and I had no loss in power at all from the loud jap exhaust I had.

If you are in Melbourne head down to Sabbadin Automotive Rob: 9558 4422.

Tell him Dave with the Black 34 GTR sent you down, he does amazing work. You are also welcome to check mine out and Ill explain what I have done to mine.

Cheers

Dave

I was quoted approx $3300 for a full Racepace exhuast (leaving stock dumps), but call them for your own application, and I beileve that is mild steel with stainless mufflers.

I think you could do it cheaper in full stainless but the key is the mufflers that you use as to flow and noise.

They are amazing exhausts though.

3K for an exhaust? I know Racepace does excellent work but I wouldn't pay that much for an exhaust, I'll look into Sabbadin automotive at some point when I consider getting a new exhaust, I'm happy with my current one and its quiet enough for now :P

Thanks for the info and apologies for hijacking the thread.

Here I already had one when I got the car but these look great.

Wow, very nice indeed! But I don't think I can really justify the price tag when you can pick up a quality Blitz front pipe for half the price.

Anything on dump pipes? The seamless Tomei Expremes are nice, but again, I don't know whether the price is justified. Thoughts?

what power you chasing? i was under the impression stock R34 GTR dumps are fine for quite a bit of power

Thats correct. I'm doing a few things to my car at the moment for power and they haven't been a bottleneck yet.

Didn't realise that, definitely good to know. I'm not chasing massive power so the stock dumps will probably do for now. I'd be better off spending the extra $$$ on a hi-flow cat than new dumps.

Anyone have any knowledge of performance differences between cheaper front pipes (Blitz, JJR, HPI, OBX, etc.) compared to the higher-end pipes (Mines, HKS, Auto Staff, etc.)? Or is the extra cost solely due to material differences such as titanium over stainless or mild?

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
