Hi everyone, as u can see im new to these forums as i've just purchased my V35 350GT skyline this week.

The first thing i want to do with my skyline is exhaust, but i wouldn't have a clue where to start.

I basically want something that makes the stock V35 exhaust (which already sounds awesome) have a bit more of a louder grunt and a bit of a rumble whilst idl'ing.

I have around 2 grand to play around with so if anyone had some ideas on where to start i would greatly appreciate it!

I could custom make a system for that but without a location it makes it hard to recommend workshops. Do you want a custom or brand name exhaust?

i'm open to suggestions mate, anything that will sound good and bring some performance with it.

My location is Mackay QLD

for that kind of money you can get a brand name one shipped from the US with change left over. Will be direct bolt on no fuss install.

my dads awesome with cars so im still learning aha i would have to get someone to install it properly, could you suggest any brands/setups?

If you want low drone, quite when cruising but deep still and then roar above 5k then fujitsubo exhaust, megan V2 HR ypipe, HFC or resonated test pipes + stock headers

if you want more rumble and throaty but more expensive and better performing, then Motordyne exhaust, motordyne xyz pipe and motordyne ART cats + stock headers

if you want cheap and loud then a knock off HKS with megan hr ypipe

go on g35driver, there is a thread with sound/video clips of all different exhaust combinations

$2k only for exhaust mods or $2k for mods altogether?

$2k for exhaust mods only = Berk HFC (~$500) + Stillen CBE (~$1200) or a knock-off HKS CBE (~$500)

$2k for all mods = Berk HFC (~$500) + Motordyne Plenum Spacers (~$250) + Sway Bars (~$300) + knock-off HKS CBE (~$500) + K&N Drop-In (~$50)

These are estimate pricing in US Dollars and excludes shipping.

thanks for the replies boys i appreciate it, im looking to spend $2k MAX.

r6n350gt i was originally looking at the motordyne art cats and headers as i have heard the sound it makes and its incredible. Also that's spot on what i want, but i did want the roar to kick in at around 3-5k rpm. would appreciate it if you could post some links to websites that provide these products so i can check it out.

cheers

I have been looking around at the moment i'm leaning towards the ART DT-S Dual exhaust system it comes with absolutely everything for around $1,300 which is great and it's bolt on of course.

This also has the sound that i'm looking for, do any of you own this setup?

Yet again i've had a change in mind i'm looking at going for the Motordyne Shockwave V2 it sounds insane, but more pricey at $1,500..

Is that Fast Intentions brand trusted at all i've never heard of it

Hahaha... Yeah it is good and loud, huh? Got them installed on my car, definitely one of the best buys.

Yes, Fast Intentions is very good too. I would rate them second below Motordyne of course. The Fast Intentions are more quiet until you floor it.

It all depends on how much you're willing to spend on just the CBE. You gotta take into account taxes and shipping costs, so you might be looking at $2k for the Fast Intentions or Stillen and over $2k for the Motordyne.

Yeah man i've listened to numerous sound clips of exhausts such as STILLEN, Fujitsubo, ARK, HKS and i still think that the Motordyne Shockwave's sound the best by far.

I had a feeling shipping would be expensive, but i am happy to pay around the $2k mark for the perfect setup. If only we had some of these specialty stores in Australia better yet QLD..

I know this is a little late, but have you checked this link out:

http://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coupe-v35-2003-07/353062-aftermarket-coupe-exhaust-compilation.html

I actually haven't but there is a similar page for the G35 2007 sedan which is the equivalent of the V36. I know what I'm going to get now!!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
