Haven't got a bad thing to say about my x-force 3" MS exhaust. Sounds good, hasn't been restrictive and hasn't had any issues in the last 3 years

I got a 3inch MS xforce from the turbo back aswell ... ive had no issue performance wise though ive already started getting surface rust around the wields about 4 months old meh

Thanks for all the info lads. I got my exhaust today, 3" mild steel turbo back but with a stainless dump, cat and muffler. It did end up costing me $1,100 fitted but i'm happy! It's got a nice sound but not to loud and no droning in the ears, when you really put the foot down it sounds very nice but just cruising is pretty mild so that's good as it's not attracting police attention! got a k&n pod filter done aswell which sounds great but I need to make up some sort of heat shield for it. Only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of performance increase.. I wasn't expecting much but to be honest I don't think I can notice anything??? Do I need to be getting these mods dyno tuned in or no need to worry? sorry I'm pretty new to the car scene so I'm still learning.

The exhaust is not the limiting factor in a standard motor. ie you will need to do more mods to take advantage of any increase in exhaust size. And so it begins, welcome to the mod world.......

I pulled the dump off about 4 months ago to weld the wideband in and its pretty good, only mild surface rust. ended up painting it anyway after I welded the bung in.

ok got ya. I guess it was good to get the exhaust and intake outta the way first as in standard form they are pretty restrictive so one good thing is the car is breathing a bit better now. What would you advise to do next? keeping in mind I don't have a huge budget! I can probably afford to spend $1000. Thanks for the help

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
