Hi Guys,

Well, in a complete backflip, I have decided to keep my car: found a SC kit that was waaaay too cheap to pass up.

Given that my car is effectively stock (with the exception of wheels and coilovers), I believe I will need a full exhaust to make the most of the blower. What's good quality and quiet? I have searched, but found very little scattered info on the subject.

I believe I'll also want swaybars and bushes, but that's secondary.

I guess what I'm asking is where should I get an exhaust system, and how much should I expect to pay??

Cheers,

Micah

There are heaps to choose from. From what I've personally heard, in order of quietness...

- Fujitsubo

- HKS

- Buddyclub

HKS and Buddyclub produce a slightly raspier note, the Fujitsubo is deeper (think it has to do with HKS and Buddyclub having twin-cannon design).

The noise level will also increase if you change from stock to high-flow cats. And of course a supercharger will increase the noise both from the engine bay and exhaust. Good luck with your install!

Kam - where to source one, though? is there a decent local supplier, or do I just use nengun/import monster and get one directly from Japan??

Paul: No, the stickers have to go: it's almost embarassing the amount of attention the car receives as-is: also looking to possibly swap the Chargespeed seats for a factory set, or a set of recaros, and have the whole shebang retrimmed.

Bee - if you're serious, I would love to meet up and hear your exhaust: pm me and we'll work something out....

Cheers guys.

I used to have a fujitsubo on my S14 and loved it to bits.

strange, HKS and Buddy club have a reputation for being the louder of the brands of exaust.. then again I havent heard any on a V35 yet.

You're in QLD? Just Jap have the Blitz exhaust on their website (350Z). If you were in Melbourne I'd say On The Run Motorsport - though they should be able to ship to you wherever you are (HKS, Fujitsubo). I think I saw an Apex'i on Ebay the other day too.

Sorry I should clarify, the Fuji is the quiestest by a country mile. HKS is loud and a bit raspy, Buddyclub is instant EPA :(

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
