what size exhaust is best for an r32 RB25DE?

i currently have 2.25 inch from the headers which was installed by pit stop , after 5 attempts they believe this is the best exhaust yet, it has great top end.

what size do you all recomend?

2.25 " or 2.5 " both with no cat an an x force 2v03 4" canon tip

Another one of these exhaust size threads again?? Dewd try search before your next thread.

I will nominate 2.5" as it gives a nice mid range and a good top end. I have also had experience with 3" catback that is why I say 2.5". Never tried 2.25" by the way.

When i got my exhaust done about 3 years ago i had no idea about sizes, i just told the shop to give me the best performance and they installed a 2 1/4 inch exhaust.

feels nice down low and up to about 5000 RPM but after that the engine starts screaming and the power starts to level out. Very nice pull down low tho like i said, makes town driving fun and you don't need to use much throttle.

I'v got a rb25de neo tho, not an r32 25de

I had a R33 half a year ago with a 2.5 inch catback which i got from a local exhaust shop. straight away after installation i realised the car doesnt pull as hard as the stock and its loud as. But after a month of driving the car seems to adapted to the exhaust and actually went quiet well. 2.5 inch seems to be ok for the Rb25. but make sure you get a good muffler tho as those cheap ones sound crap and drony, and can also get EPA'd which i did. LOL

i have no idea about the 32's but my car that i sold a few months ago (r34 NA) had a stock exhaust and just yesterday i met up with the new owner and took it for a drive with a new 3'' catback. I must say i was impressed!! a bit slower of the mark but as it climbed the revs i could notice the difference :P

Really? I would think you would notice a difference straight away with a new exhaust? That puts me off getting one installed on mine

he probably didnt reset his ecu after he put it on so it would have takin a lil while for the ecu to change its settings

in my opinion a 2.5 is about as big as you really wanna go. you can go bigger but theres not much point!

it will give a nice top end over the 2.25 which is still nice in its own way and will still peform just make sure its done with mandrel bends which arnt much more expensive (that includes on a 2.5" exhaust).

and dont be a dick and try and make it as loud as possible, have some respect for others and families (plus less attention from cops)

the amount of 'learning' that the stock ecu does is very little. the HP difference will be very minimal. however the seat of the pants dyno does do a bit more learning. you may do a mod, then have it feel much better or worse, but if you keep driving it you start to get used to the difference and then not notice it as much. having said that, going to a 2.5" system over a stock system if you are going to notice a difference you will notice it straight away. it won't slowly improve. every car i've ever changed the exhaust on, when it has made a difference i've noticed it in the first 100m of driving.

Yeh i've heard a few times that you can go 3' catback(with a cat) or 2.5' with a cat. Of course with the 3' you are going to loose that low down power but in the higher revs you will notice the engine open up more. I even noticed the difference in power when i chopped off the stock tips with the butterfly valve, now its much deeper but seems a bit slower low down but faster higher up.

and unless you spend all your time above 5000rpm then the 3" is just a waste of time and will attract unwanted attention from cars with disco lights on the roof.

lulz. in an N/A 2.5 you'd be going backwards anyway. I didn't even run an exhaust that big on the 5 litre V8 I used to have!

BTW catbacks don't really make any difference for power.

but if you want it to sound like a Lancer dumping out of the headers, then go right ahead :down:

yes but you have to remember that half of the older V8's came with the same exhaust size as the 6 cylinders in the range.

I was referring to aftermarket. 3" on a stock 5 litre has much the same effect as sticking it on a stock 2.5 N/A.

So given that 2.5" is adequate for a stock engine twice the size, why would you go bigger than that? (especially when N/A Skylines don't sound very good to start with lol)

oh i'm not saying that anyone should go a 3" on a NA skyline because i agree that it is stupid, and the gains made at high rpm are more than outweighed by the losses at low rpm. i misinterpreted your post a bit. when you said "in a NA 2.5 you'd be going backwards anyway" i thought you were meaning a 2.5" exhaust

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
