I've had a search around in the forum and on google and can't seem to find a great deal.

I've got a 32 GTR with a twin Kakimoto system on. I hate the twin cannon rears and it's a touch on the loud side. So I'm going to change the twin 70mm to a single 100mm before the rear muffler and fit a single oval 100mm muffler.

Basically I've spoke to a few muffler shops who said they couldn't get hold of a stainless one. I've done some searching myself and spoke to Xforce, they do one, but I can get a Borla or a Magnaflow for similar money from the states.

I'm a Pom and haven't heard of Xforce as we don't really get then over there. I'm just making sure they're not cheap crap because if they are I'll go for the magnaflow/Borla option

Cheers

Chris

I changed my 4 inch catback to a 3 inch catback with an x force mid and rear muffler. 4 inch was overkill and the sound was ridiculous.

I also have a 3inch turbo to cat. (HKS off the shelf whatever)

The muffler shop said it would be much more restrictive however I made the exact same power. I was expecting to lose some boost in the top end and maybe some response, but nah its the same shit.

so +1 for xforce from me

There is very little difference in any of the straight through muffler designs from my experience. It's just a perforated pipe with packing at the end of the day. Go as large as you can with the muffler body to reduce decibels, and don't go larger than you need to in pipe size.

I was running a 3 1/2inch system with a 3inch Xforce oval muffler, before that I had a 4inch nurspec ( bloody noisy), fujitsubo( quiet but 2inch restrictor) and I found the Xforce muffler great for flow and noise was perfect.

I bought second hand, and got a mild steal 3" bell-mouth dump for $60 and a stainless 3" cat-back with a large oval mid, and at the diif it ups to 3-1/2" with a short cannon for $200.

Then I bought a new catco 3" flanged cat for $175 off KMS

= brilliant quiet system for a grand sum or $435...

at least look at S/H options before you spend thousands

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
