Hey everyone, new to forum and just bought my Stagea. Beaut car. Was just wondering can anyone suggest a really good value for money 3 inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat? Hit me with anything no matter how loud or quiet but really keen on at least a nice toned 3 inch sized zorst.

Cheers heaps,

Mitch.

Hey mate, welcome onboard. Firstly the biggest thing round here is the search feature. Using it will help u lots and avoid flamings. Try the sau business traders (such as just jap) as they have exhausts for stageas. Theres lots of options so search, search, search. :)

unless the std exhaust is holding you back from making power leave it!

first try a front pipe, high flow cat, and a bit more boost (11psi) - best to get it done on a dyno to see how the motor responds

i have the above mods and my car makes 120rwkw, and for a street car its more then enough go to keep you busy and all in silence!

focus on getting it to handle right before going for power, which will mean front mount, exhaust, ecu and tune (decent $$)

if its a daily driver believe me there is nothing worse than the drone of an exhuast echo'ing through a wagon..!

i fitted a 3" turbo back with 2 mufflers, and sure it sounds great when your revving it in your driveway, but at 6am on the freeway on the way to work it will do your HEAD IN!

my 2 cents :cool:

Thats where u went wrong. Mufflers are to reduce noise, resenators reduce drone (also known as resenence). 1 look at 90% of the jap exhausts will show them with 1 good muffler and a cannon (which is a resenator). Cut off the 2nd muffler and get a cannon or any other resenator and it will be 100 times nicer. After a really bad droning exhaust being made by a shop. Ive done 4 different exhausts on my stageas trying to find what works best to reduce drone, the resenator and muffler combo works best.

Im running GKTech Stainless 3inch Dump, front & decat pipes. That cat back is a stainless Trust system that was on the car when I bought it. It does drone abit (more noticeable with the windows up) but you have to expect a bit of drone. Sounds great when you get up it!

The GKTech items are all to suit R32/33 and are VERY well priced. Fitment was great.

Anyone got a titanium system? I've spent so much money on my exhaust I could have bought one. But do they sound nasty? I'm either going to get a complete custom made one or get something like an HKS silent power (I want a 3 1/2 in system but they are quite hard to come by which is why I am considering a custom made job).

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
