hi guys im after a muffler that i can put on my car, but im particularly interested in HKS, Apexi, Kakimoto and GReddy mufflers but theres no where i can find them in Australia. I called Performance Wholesale and they said they dont have any because appearently HKS USA is going into liquidation. I've checked nengun and ebay but the shipping costs are way too much for me. There are so many US websites that sell them but none of them ship to Australia :down: If anyone knows where i can get one from it'll be much appreciated, thanks!

because a skyline and those brands go together nicely :thumbsup:

Then why not buy a brand name catback instead of just a muffler? I highly doubt you will be able to save money having a workshop make the pipes for you..

Unless you plan to make one yourself.. In which case I still say get over it and buy a second hand one to save the cash lol.. I know every jap catback I've owned was uber nice.

And they also have a nice inflated price tag :)

Given the price of 2nd hand exhausts in the FS section - you'll never be able to beat it.

You can get a full cat-back for a GTS-T for the price of just a muffler almost these days :thumbsup:

I mean buying new/shiny is nice, but it's and exhaust and wont stay that way for long anyhowif you intend on driving it.

brands dont mean a huuuge deal, its the design of the muffler.

i could sell you a performance muffler that will last just as long as one of those branded ones, and make just as much power and sound just a good.

You can get unbranded stuff that is just as good and will last just as long. Just find a reputable exhaust shop that will do it for you.

Thats right!, i work in a mechanical workshop specialising in exhausts, so if anyones after anything in the newcastle area, i can help you out!

And they also have a nice inflated price tag :).

I think you'd struggle to build a 3 or 3.5" stainless steel catback exhaust system with mufflers included for less than what you can buy a Japanese branded system for wouldnt you?

My HKS Hi Power Silent only cost me $900 from Nengun shipped to NZ brand new. I think thats pretty darn reasonable.

EDIT, i just checked my order, and it was actually $835 Shipped. And your Aussie dollar is f**king ridiculous at the moment! Spend spend spend!

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
