Hey Guys,

Basically im looking to buy a cat back exhaust system for my R32 gtst. Now the guy i bought the car from (dealer) has said that they can make one custom for the car basically for half the price of buying one from say RHD japan. It wont be in stainless steel but he seems to think that exhausts dont rust anymore due to better fuel etc so no need to SS. Now the exhaust that i was looking at buying is a HKS Hi Power Silent.

Oh and the guy has been helpful all the way thru buying and has been looking after me so i dont think he's trying to pull my leg or screw me over.

So my question is this. Is a HKS H-P-S going to be that much better in terms of performance and sound than a custom built one? Pro's cons?

Cheers

BG

I gaurantee his "half the price" will work out to be the same, if not more than a local off the shelf catback from some one like X-Force or similar. What price did he say?

There are plenty of options available if cost is a concern rather than going to one of the most expensive makers, HKS.

As above... Just get something local (SAU Traders are a good start).

Or just get a Jap one 2nd hand from the For Sale area, always exhausts of various types up for sale and well... an exhaust is just metal :D

Long as it's not majorly dinged and the mufflers are intact that's about all you need to worry about

the hks hipower are beautiful mate, awesome sound and not too loud, looks great under the car. they are also mild steel tho, fyi

im in agreeance with the above comments, something local will be good. Xforce, despite being made in china and almost noname, are excellent. Ive personally seen alot of cars with prefab xforce systems that fit, and sound great.

a custom job can turn out great if you go to the right place, but it will end up costing you more than an xforce or JJR (if ur not worried bout how loud it is JJR arent too bad)

remember to use a good quality cat tho, GL

Ok so custom can be good if i make sure its done right. If i was to go the custom what should i ask for? Like a high flow cat etc etc. I dont really want it to be too loud im more of a quiet growl kinda guy haha. Is there anything i should specify in the build to maximise performance or noise/note?

Looks like ill have to have a look around at some local SAU dealers as well.

Cheers guys

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
