Tried the consolidated workshop thread but no exhaust shops listed.

Can anyone recommend an exhaust shop who can work with pipework larger than 3" ?

My GTR has an Apexi system on it and I'd like to get the Canon removed and replaced with a twin tip muffler (and also get the muffler position straightened up)

i got carline mufflers in malaga to do mine originally he did a pretty good job made my 3inch catback sit pretty much as high as the standard one sat so it didnt scrape on speed bumps ect but the welding quality was pretty average. i then got rear ended and Prestige Exhausts & Mufflers in malaga did the insurance job and the weld quality was a shitload better but they mounted it pretty low like most imports have so yeah their care-factor isnt that great IMO

people do quality jobs if u know them, 99% of the time randoms off the street are just walking dollar signs

I got my full custom job done at:

Mettam's Mufflers

21 Rudloc Rd

Morley WA 6062

(08) 9275 7034

My job was 2in though, but they did a real good job and it was mounted higher than the old one was.

Welding culd be a bit cleaner but i'm happy with the job.

+1 for kermit I have a full system fabricated by him, it's excellent quality

Cheers Nick

I'll have an Apexi system for sale in about a week for $500ono if it fits a 34.

System is great but I'm an old codger who wants a stock looking rear muffler

I supplied the dump pipe, and Kermit fabricated the rest cost me 1250 for a 3 inch system made from stainless steel and had custom hangers made for the x force muffler which Kermit sourced and fitted I also got a decat pipe made for race use only of course :)

Sounds like porn

Cheers Nick

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
