Im looking to upgrade my exhaust from the catback. At the moment I have a 3.5 inch custom dump running down to a Xforce 3inch cat and x force 3 inch exhaust.

Tried Castle Hill Performance Exhaust, but they seem pretty convinced that it is impossible to fabricate a 3.5 inch exhaust that will get close to 92-95db.

I have no issue spending the coin on a decent custom exhaust and cat setup, but am really looking for a workshop in the sydney area, that can do the fabrication (the easy part), and know enough about the job to get the right components in to quieten down the forklift.

Personal recomendations appreciated, particulalry if you have a contact that knows their skylines and how to make them whisper rather than growl.

Thanks

Mike

I'd give Russell a go at Windsor Exhaust he makes everything from scratch and if you choose his product for the making of the exhaust he gives you a 10yr guarantee his very upfront and won't do anything stupid to your car that doesn't need it.

Lambros at HI Tech mufflers in Darlinghurst are awesome. I have taken all my cars there to have the exhaust done. Awesome service always friendly.

My current and last car were fitted with the Hi Tech stainless systems.Great quality,excellent fitment and not too loud. Its been on the car for 6.5 years with no deterioration

Also a + from me for Hi-Tech. Helpful & Great quality. Also great when cruising... exhaust only starts to scream when I plant my foot or when Im in and above the 3500rpm range.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
