hey guys looking for a catback either 3 or 3.5" for my 33. been reading through some search results and besides db rating and "personal oponions" cant seem to find any specs on cfm/flow rating or systems that are true 3".

looking at reinhard 001, blitz nur, trust pe2, hks silent high power and apexi n1.

any/all info on these or back to back testing/ comparisons would be great.

cheers patrick

If you've got a stock turbo, anything that is true 3" will be fine.

They will all flow near enough to the same for the sake of the discussion as 3" piping and straight through mufflers are only ever going to flow a certain amount when not under pressure, so no-one will have tested it and I've never see any such results anywhere.

Where the dB factor comes in is how well the mufflers are made and associated with that is weight in most cases.

much wiser to spend the money on the turbo rather than fancy brand name exhausts,

my system is a 3 1/2inch jap system from the wreckers , cost $180 i changed the fujitsubo muffler for a 3inch Xforce oval muffler,

320kw flow with acceptable noise levels and minimal $$$ spent on exhaust = wise choice

haha yeah my $100 rusty special 3.5" exhaust was fine for 365rwkw, changed to a more expensive 3.5" - no change... Although the headache would've been eliminated as the drone was waaaay excessive with the el-cheapo single muffler (if you could call it that) setup. :)

Silent 3" system flowed 360kw on my car... Was a little laggier than I hoped but was an awesome result for what it is... It's an Apexi I think, the one with the ironic "Super Megaphone" on it :)

Whilst I currently have an Evo, not a Line, I can share my experience as principle is the same.

Went from a True 3'inch custom made cat back (loud and droney) to a 3 inch Fujitsubo RMO1A which tapers to 2.5 inch inside the 2 resonators.

Notice sweet F$%k all in terms of power difference. All i felt was a bees dick more lag, and about 99% less headaches with the RMO1A :-)

Also have had a HKS Hi Power and 5Zigen pro racer on the Evo and exactly the same. Not much difference between all of them...

Better off getting a decent tune.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
