well , you know reading this forum and you would think that money grows on trees . we ( my son and myself) have just gone through the process of fitting a new system on the 31 3" crush bent system with just a muffler on the rear , would be a little loud for the street but it wont be so tuff and you could add one to quiet it down, The thing being this car produces 530Hp at the wheels and it doesn't make any dam difference if it is mandrel bent or not the gas still gets out. $400 for the tailor made system and it will last longer than you are going to have the car for anyway .

Lol.

The gas still gets out the stock exhaust doesn't it,

Where do you draw the line?

Crushing the pipe reduces the flow. That's a fact. Why have manufacturers of new cars stopped using crush bent exhausts? Cos they are shit.

If your crush bent exhaust is working for you good on ya.

Well I have been building race cars for the last 40 odd years and have a little experience with exhaust systems , do you know how the gas flow goes down the pipe , doesn't go anywhere near the outside of the pipe but about 3/5 mm in, due to turbulence , crushed or mandrel for you guys unless you race the bloody thing wont have a slight bit of difference and I have proved it.

Unless you put a mandrel system on and compare it you haven't proved anything. And I don't buy your "only down the middle" theory.

Anyway, rather than an Internet argument just take it that I disagree.

Like I said it's great it worked so well for you.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
