Ana Here guys.

trying to find a pre fab turbo back 3inch exhaust for my 2003 m35 stag, any help would b great

thanks guys and girls

All the pref fabed ones are out of Japan. The Legalis is one of the more popular ones around.

Mine is a 3 inch from the turbo back with a 3 inch dump pipe which flows very well and is not too noisy. Mine was made to the car by Charleston Exhaust in Blacktown, Sydney. He does need the car for a day but it s avey good install that delivers performance but with out all the drone of some exhausts.

Cheers

Andy

Andy, can you confirm if Charleston ever developed a dump pipe? They were going to and they had Craig's stock dump to use as a basis for the mould but he needed the dump back before they did anything with it. I don't know if it ever got back there, if not I might have to get hold of one because I would like to see what he could come up with :down:

I'll be getting the turbo back treatment there also once I get some major stuff out of the way first, have to get myself a job again before I start thinking about it.

I have not seen what he developed but he fitted a 3 inch dump pipe to Danny's car when he did the exhaust. I don't know that he can make them up without the car for a day.

Thanks mate, I will call in and get the low down sometime this week. I was going to pop in and say howdy to him the other day but there was a bit of traffic on sunnyholt road and I had an annoying kid in the back :devil:

I was going to use Charlestone Exhaust over a year ago but at that time the flange profile was not available and the car was going to be stored with Bruce for a few days while the stock flange was copied. At the time my wife couldn't do without the car so unfortunately it didn't happen.

Anyway, I ended up buying a stainless custom dump pipe off ebay and found out it was made by Westside Mufflers. After speaking to Brad about just fitting the dump I ended up getting him to make the rest stainless 3 inch exhaust too. It was a bit of an experiment and the quality of installation is excellent. Only problem is that the end result is noisy (see 'drone' above).

The car is going back in a for a resonator box to be installed which I think is what the Lagalis (cat back only?) comes with standard.

Would recommend either Charlestone or Westside if you go for a custom exhaust.

Ive been considering the Kakimoto R cat back for the M35, but unfortunately I would really like to hear some feedback on this exhaust, as i dont want that annoying drone. I have driven a Legalis equiped exhaust on the M35 (and used to have one on my C34) however the M35 I drove with the legalis was alot slower than my stock M35 - but you couldnt even tell it had an aftermarket exhaust, very quiet indeed.

The Kakimoto R is a little bassier than the Legalis and is about as quiet (both 86db @ 3000rpm with stock dump & front pipe).

The Kaki is a little larger in diameter (80mm compared to the Fujitsubo's 76mm).

I guess it all comes down to the muffler appearance between these two.

If you want a single 115mm tip, go with the Kakimoto R

If you want dual 96mm tips, go with the Fujisubo Legalis

Also, out of suriosity, does anyone have the twin square tipped Nismo exhaust on their M35?

nah. i've only got the sound control large oval tip exhaust, i also still suspect it's locked in silent mode :action-smiley-069: hence why my car sounds like a vacumm cleaner unless you really pick-up the revs. the switch under the steering wheel appears to do nothing when switched between silent and sport and vice versa. bloody compliancer's!

Ive got stainless flanges here...

Ive jigged up off the original to make a few dumps if anyone is interested.

I will post some pics in a week or so when Ive made another one, I had to redesign the dump as Iamhe's one was too big to fit. Just waiting on the lower flanges to be laser cut.

I would have to give my money on Charleston Exhaust for a complete system.......been using them for about 20 years now and they have never let me down with any custom setup. Bruce will make up a bump on the spot for you if asked....just needs your car for the day though.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
