thanks to all of u guys! im just planning to visit Carline exhaust at Gladesville tmr morning.

and anyone have an idea with MRT at Rhodes? one of ma mates said that place is good for tuning up but I couldnt find any info about exhaust at their internet site..

I think most people go with a custom made one mate,

2.5" mandrel bent - dont forget to include a few mufflers to keep the noise level down! i've got a hot dog and a resonator as well as an oval muffler on the end.

congrats on the 34 :)

Just paid deposit to Carline at Gladesville, the total cost for changing muffler is $380. It is 2.25 cannon and straight. I tried to make it cheaper thats why i chose straight, not added bent pipe for good looking.. What do u guys think about the price? Reasonable or not?

ps MRT said $700 this morning.. just a muffler..I know they are good but..the price.....

380 seems like a bit much just for a muffler change, im quite sure i paid around 200 for mine - but mine was a mild steel which is cheaper in general.

didn't you intend to change the whole system from the catback not just a muffler though?

I was going to get catback but just got penalties from RTA...... 2 penalties were around 400 altogether shit..

So I decided to change muffler only this time.. the muffler I chose was Japanese after market one so I dont wanna think about the price anymore haha........shit..

BTW Thanks to Jonno and 10 4!!

Take care with driving guys. Cheers!

save the (nearly) 400 for the muffler and wait till you can afford a full cat back - should be about 1k for a custom made one, hell i picked up a second hand one for 120 bucks with everything i needed on!

yeah tbh if i had the choice to change exhaust now i probably wouldnt do it again, especially if i bought the exhaust brand new.

as far as i can see theres not much if any noticeable difference in power, and it gets too loud at times even with all the mufflers ...

It was quite successful with changing only muffler.. the sound is still deep but as I see some comments, now i understand what u guys r talking about haha

Anyway, it was my first time to do somthing to my car. Thanks everyone! Cheers!

no probs mate, as long as you're happy with what you did our opinions are irrelevant really

the muffler will after some weeks quieten down a little bit (in my experience they all have) and your ears will be infinitely more grateful :)

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
