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

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
