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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
