R34 Gtr What Exhaust?

[Nissan-kid]

Hey guys,

Recently purchased a new r34 gtr mspec (pride and joy) and am slowly buying bits and pieces for it. Just want to know what you guys think as far as exhausts go, Either from experience or word of mouth?..

I've got two second hand systems in mind that I'm looking at, at the moment, a nismo weldina full systemand a custom 3.5" titanium system (stainless front pipes rest of the system is titanium)

I'd stick to a Japanese system over Chinese with your GT-R

If both of those on offer are Japanese made, then Nismo, Kakimoto, Fujitsubo and HKS systems are all desirable exhausts. Blitz and Greddy front pipes are really good too.

Hi Flo cat on offer?

Definately get something with mufflers or else you'll suffer serious drone.

Titanium is great if you want light weight and will potentially track your car. Just bear in mind, I don't think there's anyone who can repair Ti easily.

As for the Nismo system, I believe others have made comment around it being overpriced for what it can do.

no cat, 3" no resonator and just a hks end pot with 4" outlet, for the fearless bastard or get same system with a resonator about 40cm from the end pot, to have a nice crisp sound

Hmmm.. Tough choice.. Just say I'm going to be spending $1500-$2000 to start with, what would be the best system I could get for that? And/or what kind of bits should I be looking for to start with?.. I'm not after a real high pitched note, more of a nice deep growl without the drone..

Also does anyone know any places around the Newcastle/ sydney area that have second hand systems? Thanks for all your help guys.. 

You tube gives a decent indication on exhaust note. Definitely get a high flow cat. Based on your budget id suggest stainless steel unless u find a bargain. Don't know how cops are in your area but legally, remember the limit is 90db. No way you will get that quiet but the closer the better.

I know exactly the two exhausts you are looking at ;-)

The Nismo Weldina system is pretty rare but I would suggest the Ti system is way better value.

I have a Amuse Ti pipe that only has one muffler and it does drone quite a lot.

But it really is not a problem for me (even the wife does not complain) as it is a weekend/touring car.

We did 1600km over easter if that shows how manageable the drone is.

As for total Db, I have still got to get that checked, but we are still quite lucky over here in NZ

Here is a quick vid of what mine sounds like

Bear in mind and equal length front pipe makes a huge difference to how smooth the sound is.
