Alright, I've currently got the stock exhaust with 3" cat back (gay as)...

I'm pretty retarded with cars, but slowly learning. Any advice would be fantastic.

Looking at going 3" turbo back.. Best to buy separately and fitted at an exhaust shop? Or buy through them?

Wanting something high flow, dont care about noise (quiet is fine) and will help power/overall sexiness

Also, should I aim to spend about $1k fitted??

Just Jap is a forum sponsor they can supply both a dump/front pipe and a cat but I would go for a larger bodied cat if you want the least restriction.

Venom exhaust works and email George direct.

3" all the way through and you can't go too far wrong.

So google both of those, buy them and then take it to an exhaust shop asking them to fit 3" all the way through??

you've already got a 3in catback? So you just need the front pipe and 5in cat fitted.

Ok great, that would make sense haha..

See i've learnt something today and it's only 7:40am!

www.justjap.com

if your car is auto try and get the jjr front and dump and the bend in it..

i got one for a 33/stagea but its was dead straight and had to be cut and welded to go around the gear box..

fun times!

mine is a manual... its not a car if you cant shift gears :P

it says the 500 is recommended for +350rwkw etc... is it still applicable for cars with less than those figures?

Dont worry about taking it to an exhaust shop. U wont learn anything that way. Buy urself a set of spanners, a pair of stands, a jack and change the front pipe and cat yourself. Its literally a dozen bolts. Even a total novice could knock it out in 1 day and it will save on the reaming u'll get from the exhaust shop.

My mate reckons it'd be a nightmare job for a rookie like myself??

Also he reckons given the heat of the turbo, the bolts would be hard to get off??

Before ya start ripping into it get yourself some "Penetrene" or similar quality penetrant in a squirty bottle & some safety goggles. :yes:

Cheers GW

I gotta agree with that. A good penetrant will help. Mine came loose without it, but every car is different. Just allow yourself the whole weekend and u'll definately get it done. Just take the cat off 1st. Then work your way forward. Its alot easier from under the car so ull want to get it up on stands with enough room to move round. Take ur time and remember if u get frustrated u'll break stuff. So walk away, clear ur head and give it another go.

All of the above. It's good to have them on hand too for future DIY'S.

Also wondering if u got a hold of George? I've yet to get a reply from him..and it's been 2 days. I'll give him another day...I don't want to seem too keen.

Perhaps think about replacement nuts and bolts, gaskets, gasket goo etc before you tackle it....or at least make sure the nearest auto shop has things you might need in stock.

Thats a reminder! I usually change to stainless bolts on exhausts cos if u ever need to pull the exhaust off (which u will if ur on a hunt for power. Changing gearboxes and diffs etc.) they wont be rusted up. :)

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
