Hey guys :action-smiley-069:, after seeing all these EPA blitzes around Melbourne I think it's time I take the cannon off as it's just far too loud. I have another cat-back sitting in the shed but the problem is that though it's all nice and stock, the tip is one of those pea-shooter types so it looks sooo crap. So, I was wondering whether it's possible to cut a section where the tip is and weld on a chrome twin tip? If so, would anyone be able to help me out or know someone reliable who could do the job? I'm in the south-east suburbs (Rowville) and am willing to pay!

Cheers! :cheers:

Abz

The only issue with old stainless systems is they need to be cleaned very well internally before welding, as carbon will contaminate the weld. Mild systems are even worse as you have rust to deal with.

For a cheap job any exhaust joint can mig a tip on it for you, if you have any issues finding someone reliable though, or you want a better quality job you can try dropping me a PM to see if i'm free sometime...

yeah meng I had that same set up as you, just kept a epa friendly pea shooter in the shed (looked so crap) but my cannon (kakimoto racing zorst) was just far too loud at 112db. :( this one looks clean and sounds good too and doesn't hurt my ears. ^^

Glad you're happy Abz, I was actually surprised how quiet the system ended up being, for two straight 3 inch mufflers. That should keep you out of trouble with the epa, if the rumors are true they will be cracking down in December with mobile detection setups. :unsure:

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
