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.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
