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

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
