I just recently installed a exhaust i imported from the USA. A little more on the expensive but oh my god so worth it.

I got the Advanced Resonate Tuning Pipes installed aswell as the Shockwave)) TDX2.

A youtube example of this combo can be found here:

(Black Car, Skip to 1:30) - Not my car btw

The exhaust combo has 0 drone from what i can hear, and when you put your foot down - people will know. Its possibly one of the loudest exhausts i've heard on a street car, and yet so quiet when you want it to be.

Ahhh forgot about the Motordyne. What an awesome sound. Note to OP, there is absolutely no beating the sound and possibly performance (albeit minimal) of a true dual system. The Y pipe single systems just can't compare.

Aftermarket Sedan Exhaust Compilation

Below is a compliation of exhaust setups. Both aftermarket, modded OEM and full custom.

Note to OP, there is absolutely no beating the (possibly) performance (albeit minimal) of a true dual system. The Y pipe single systems just can't compare.

Really?

I'm not sure if its different on the V compared to the Z, but in a NA application the Y pipe systems are better. The scavenging in the low end from combining the two streams gives a noticable gain over a true dual, but the difference in the top end from what I've seen has been in the 2-3rwkW region (which is measurement error).

On the butt dyno I had a mate who went from a Y pipe to a true dual, and he noticed a big drop in tractability with nothing in the top end. He eventually went and had a custom crossover made.

My favourite sound so far has been the HiTech catback on my Z. No rasp, just a nice deep note with an angry edge. Compared to my ultra-raspy current setup (Top Speed Extractors, Berk cats, Buddy Club exhaust) it sounds a lot deeper.

quote me correctly and the context makes more sense:

Note to OP, there is absolutely no beating the sound and possibly performance (albeit minimal) of a true dual system. The Y pipe single systems just can't compare.

Notice I refered to the performance as a "possible" gain. The last quote is therefore stating the single systems can't compare for sound as referenced first in the statement. It may have been clearer if I'd put the bracket before "possibly".

So I stand by my post, The dual systems I refered to above to me sound better (deeper) than a single system.

It would be worth noting that the true dual systems from Fast Intentions, Motordyne and Stillen have a crossover section, as Scathing mentioned, which technically does not make them true dual like the HKS, Injen & Invidia. The manufactureres still call then True dual tho

I DIY as I have a mate who has a workshop and hoist. If you don't want to DIY, Search for Kermit on these forums. He has a workshop in Welshpool and he specialises in stainless and custom fab.

Fair enough. I thought you were saying that the true duals will give a performance gain, even if it is minimal. In my experience its pretty much guaranteed to give a gain that's better than stock, not as good as a Y-pipe system. Performance-wise a Y-pipe setup is a clear winner.

I haven't heard too many true dual systems aside from the APS, which I thought was quite similar to the Nismo exhaust. But exhaust sound is a very personal choice.

I Highly Recommend you don't get the Headers from USA or any other Left hand drive country. As they made for Left hand drive (steering rack interference), but you are more than welcome to try.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
