What do you guys think a 4 inch system in mild steel would be worth?

Cat back (decat built in if needed)

Cannon rear muffler

Resonator in the center

Proper bolted rubber mounts

Flanged rear section

It will be no means be a quiet exhaust system.

have been quoted 1500 for 4inch turbo back, incl cat, and gate plumb back.

I'd be saying 8-900????

Ill put stainless as an option.

There is too many variables so ill just put a minimum number of orders required.

So probably a minimum 5x 4 inch and 5x 3.5inch regardless of material for the group buy to be worth while doing special pricing.

There is nothing special about a varex system other than their mufflers which I personally think are average.

Sure they shut the exhaust up efficiently but that's all they are good for. Anyone looking for a 4inch system is doing so for maximum flow. I wouldn't put a hindrance muffler on it.

I couldn't agree more with your statement. but in some state/country ( maybe not the case in australia), cops will give you a ticket if your exhaust is straight throught or not. So by having this valve and a ''S'' BY-PASS VALVE of 1.5 inch, if you get pulled over, you simply close the valve, the cop can't accuse you of having a straight throught = no ticket.

So with this argument, you could have a 2.5 inch exhaust still be straight pipe and have a ticket, you can understand why I'm looking at the varex system-type of mod.

Okay so I had an idea... whats your thought?

You have a 2x70mm front pipe this equal to a 1x 100mm exit. What if I weld a ELECTRIC cutout just before the cat-delete so I keep my 3 inch cat-back but when I want that extra performance I open the valve and dump 1.5 inch before the cat making it fully flow-matched with the front pipe at minimal cost and still allow me to keep a low sound ( when not opening the valve)

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
