i'm purchasing this exhaust very soon - http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=4400&Car_Type=G35&UID=20120712194828203.161.143.177

Only thing is shipping is an extra $395.

That is probably one of the cheapest & best quality catback's you'll find it's a HKS replica the only issue is the fitment is slightly off which means you'll need a shop to bend the pipes & fit it. Also the gaskets are meant to be shit so just order the OEM ones they're good.

I don't think a cheap muffler will really do a good job.

Wow awesome find, thats a great price.Damn $395, that's almost the price of the exhaust, there has to be a cheaper alternative to ship it. Thank for the link I might purchase it as well. I found this pretty dodgy cat back on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-08-G35-COUPE-350Z-STAINLESS-GT-DUAL-EXHAUST-CATBACK-BURNT-TIP-/120949116677?fits=Model:G35&hash=item1c29210f05&item=120949116677&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_8456wt_1347 , not expecting much/any power gains but it should give the exhaust note a much deeper tone and especially interested since the price :P, what do you reckon.

Yeah it's ridiculous. Basically u can pay $400 for a replica made of the same materials as the actualy HKS which is upwards of $1,700. PLUS shipping.

Oh trust me, i emailed the website at least 4 times asking for a better shipping price and they wouldn't budge.

I personally wouldn't trust anything that's off ebay + isn't branded. That shipping price is waaaay too cheap too i don't know why. Up to you, but this replica HKS is basically going to have the same gains as the real HKS.

Find me the shipping box weight and dimensions and ill get a shipping quote for you.

ive seen what ebay no-brand mufflers are like... and you get what you pay for.

too risky for the $$ if you ask me. the only bits that could be as good might be the external shiny bits, with poor internals (as i bought once before), using thinner metals that show as cheap freight cost...

A mate of mine bought that shit HKS wannabe exhaust, but sounds nothing like the HKS, and everyone think it sound more like a truck. and a damn loud one too. I'm selling a brand new Jic-Magic for $1200. Never installed as I went for another installation. The magic sound nice and not very loud that will attract police attention. Check it out: http://www.jic-magic.co.jp/de-type2.html. That's the cost I bought it for which doesn't include the shipping cost from Japan. Pm me if you are interested.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
