Hey guys, I'm wanting to buy a new exhaust for my coupe. Been thinking about the Topspeed pro 1 . I want something that's just a deeper sound and a little louder either as little droning as possible :) I know I'm prob asking for to much but just don't want it overly loud. Any suggestions ???

I've been umming and arring about the HKS rep and Magnaflow X pipe whether or not to get it or save more and get the TDX V2 + test pipes combo. I need to hear a HKS rep in person!

What's the price difference, seano?

hey where do you guys usually get the x-pipes from? ebay or?

Statik performance stocks them i'm pretty sure, for around $100 + shipping.

Massive. You can buy the TopSpeed HKS rep exhaust for $400 + $395 shipping, + $150 ish for the x pipe + whatever labour costs to fit the X pipe to the exhaust and whatever modifications need to be done to the exhaust incase it rubs (very common for it to rub against the right side diffuser and melt it) so I'd say a total of about $1300 or there abouts fitted.

Motordyne TDX V2 + ART pipes i just got a quote last night for $2175 delivered including taxes and everything. I'm not sure if i'd get a shop to fit it, i haven't heard much about the system not fitting properly so it could be a DIY job.

Went to mercury motorsports. They said I need to get a haltec otherwise I'd prob lose power from it

From such a reputable outfit it seems strange they would try feed you such b/s.

Cheers for the cost diff. So about half. I like the look of the hks rep / hks. Those looped resonators look mad. Pity you can't see them from behind the car :-/

Mat i'll just correct myself on those prices, i was quoted wrong.. the guy didn't include the ART pipes. It's actually about $2700 for the full MD TDX V2 + ART pipes shipped to your door. I'm choosing to save the money and go for the better quality stuff i have been convinced by the boys that actually own the system and absolutely love it, whereas the guys that have the HKS rep like the exhaust they did f*ck around with fitment and it's not as good quality material as the motordyne products.

They must've been talking out of their organic exhaust pipes. Did you tell them you weren't born yesterday? Wankers.

Perform a fuel relearn and your stock ecu will recalibrate to make the most of the mods within its factory tolerances.

Greetings All,

I know that this may sound stupid,.....but I was wondering if the exhaust in the video, would work in my 2004 V35

Thanks for your time!

Yes Art it will.

Keep in mind with this system you will need the Magnaflow X pipe which heavily reduces the annoying rasp that comes with this system. More than likely you will have to adjust the hangers on the exhaust and some modifications may need to be made in order for this exhaust to not rub on the underside of the car.

Statik performance stocks them, Art join the facebook group and get in touch with Henry from Statik performance he can sort you one. TopSpeed HKS rep exhaust for $400 + $395 shipping, + $150 ish for the x pipe + whatever labour costs to fit the X pipe to the exhaust and whatever modifications need to be done to the exhaust incase it rubs (very common for it to rub against the right side diffuser and melt it) so I'd say a total of about $1300 or there abouts fitted. I have also heard that the system in some places may touch the underside of the car causing it to rattle which is very annoying so make sure it's professionally fitted. ALSO make sure you buy OEM Nissan gaskets, you will need a total of 8. DO NOT use the gaskets that come with the system as they leak.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
