In all honesty the difference between mandrel and press bent exhausts isnt huge especially when theres not many bends involved.

My R32 has 3 bends (that are of any significance, and one of those is on the front pipe which he isnt getting anyway), the rest are such slight bends (5-10 degrees) that spending extra money on a mandrel bend is a bit silly.

Admitedly I have seen some bad press bent exhausts that would limit flow considerably. But done correctly they can be pretty good. And since 3 inches is pretty large anyway, going down to 2.5-2.75" on 2 or 3 bends isnt going to stifle flow that much.

Hey all  

I'm now in the process of getting an exhaust for my car and i've found a descent place.

3' inch mild steel, hi flow cat, turbo back and stainless steel tip = $800 (fitted)

Seems like a good price as other places quoted me 1500 for the same job.

What you guys think? Any good?

That's a very good price!

I've been looking in the region of 1500 bucks minimum for my exhaust (mind you, it is twin system being a 300zx).

Might have to have a talk to the fellows there and see what they can do for me :)

Cheers

Rob

Hi All i went out yesterday to visit this exhaust shop and yes its $800.00 fully fitted 3" all the way from the turbo with a dam big cannon on the back end the only problem is he said it would take 1 - 1 and a half days to do the job nice bloke,

He said that he has done a few WRX and sorts he also said that its quiet loud but can supply a baffel that you can screw into the back of the exhaust to make it a bit more quiet. well worth a look if you are able to be with out you car for a day or so.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
