I "need" a new exhaust

cut a long story short, basically my car has a 2.5" exhaust. I plan to get a full 3" set up (I'll grab a dump pipe and hi flow cat from BATMBL) so I'm after a cat back system.

I got quoted $650 for an XForce cat back with a 6" cannon with 4" tip (which is what I want). This sounds kinda cheap. I got quote a similar system from Hitech mufflers for around $1100...

Can you guys make any suggestions?

I'm in a similar situation, but I was thinking of going for a Trust Power Extreme II.

Suggestions?

I've got the 180SX version of the PEII with a high-flow cat and bigger front pipe. It gave a good torquey increase in mid to high-range revs (doesn't feel choked at high revs anymore) and it's nice and quiet around town.

Still plenty loud when you open it up though. ;)

Bakadesu - I have a 180 with stock exhaust+pod at the moment, and oh yeah! I so know that feeling of 2500-3500rpm surge in power but after that its just flat ;) I'm looking around for a 3" turbo back with high flow cat, cannon muffler. I'm thinking of getting the PEII from Japan, but the shipping is 50% of the actual price almost. :(

full 3" exhaust system in melb for about $950

from turbo back, mandrel bent, mild steel. no brand. ive been recommened to get no brand ones as they are generally better quality than the hks / trust ones for $1400 - better grade steel. so i was told anyway

they r not necessarily better however they r just as good in my opinion.

most hks or trust kits sold are usually just a cat-back system

but comparing 950 to 1400 id go for the no brand for sure

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
