hey I have an 03 auto coupe and i'm looking at putting a new exhaust on it, I want to know what you guys think are good exhausts? I don't want something that drones when im crusing I would like it to be quitish but loud if I get up it but still sounds good. also are you guys getting good performance from running headers and cats?

thanks

Hi Joshua, I took a massive gamble getting a low cost HKS replica dual exhaust 2.5" Pipe with 4.5" Tip, with Titanium Tip Covers in which to find out that the pipes closest to the catalytic converters did not match up at all. However, Precision mufflers at Croydon were able to create custom pipes and weld them onto flanges to connect them. We ended up welding the tips to stick out a bit more so the white rear bumpers dont go black. They actually look pretty good IMO and sound nice and deep when rev'ing and quiet at idle. I'm pretty happy considering I spent less than 1K (although i think the middle man made 200 bucks off me prolly) to get it here , install it with custom bits. So if you have the money get the real thing http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/product/exhaust/muffler/fulldual/index.html. Prolly also consider the power gain/loss between x + y + dual pipes at certain ranges for performance. i also considered these at one stage INVIDIA GEMINI 101mm Dual Rolled Stainless Tip Catback Exhaust + HKS Hi-Power Dual Exhaust but want to do a few more mods and dont have that much cash to dump on my car... anyhow... Check out the pics. i'll let u judge for yourself.

thanks for your reply, it looks awesome I do have the money to spend and was looking at the borla, greddy and hks exhaust, I have looked at you tube clips but it is hard to know how loud they truly are and can be hard to know what they sound like. my mate has the invidia Gemini on his v35 and the whole exhaust tip hangs out the back and would like something a bit louder and sounds better as well.

I have a Motordyne Shockwave Tdx2 with ART pipes which has quite a nice note that isnt super loud (still fairly lound) but then sounds like someone has opened the gates to hell when you give it some! Would say it is one of the louder exhausts i have heard in my years. I have found it does drone going up hills and in lower gears at times but would say alot of that has to do with being an auto.

Borla is probably as quite as you'd get with still obtaining a loud euro-esque scream at WOT. If you want to hear it WOT pm me.

This is idle, but I have a loud engine bay, and Evo X alarms are super sensitive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaXmxY65kAQ

The youtube video is filmed with good mics so you could turn that up to get an idea of the idle.

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
