Hey all

I've being doing A LOT of research and wondering what are the best exhausts for a v36 sedan? I went and spoke to my local import exhaust shop he offered for 1500 custom exhaust, I've seen some for sale in the states ( Top Speed pro 1 ) landed for under $1000 and they seem pretty decent by the YouTube videos I look up G37 sedans silly Americans, Also came accros a company called ' meisterschaft ' now there exhaust sounds amazing and looks pretty good as well butttttt.... the price to ship is steep from the company don't know why.

what do people that have ??? custom or imported exhausts what are your thoughts and recommendations?

If you go custom, find someone who knows what they are doing. Most exhaust shops will just bend up some piping to suit, weld in an 'off the shelf' muffler, charge you a bucket of cash and call it a 'custom' system.

IMHO you would be better off buying a system from a company that has taken the time to tune a system to suit the car.

I have a custom exhaust for my V36 350GT Sedan. I think it's great, sounds awesome and unique and it didn't cost as much as a shelf. Meisterschaft is awesome...if you can afford it get it. Build quality is flawless and it sounds so f**king awesome. It's expensive because of the quality of it. No BS.

My setup is Stillen hfc 2.5" to a Magnaflow 2.5" x-pipe then dual pipes to HKS Legamax muffler. The only thing about the muffler is that it is a 2".....I bought the wrong one. The X-Pipe takes out most of the noise.

No resonators needed as the X-pipe takes out most of the sound. At high revs, it's loud enough for me. At low revs (3k?) you can hear the VQ sound but not noisy at all. No drone whatsoever.

If I could do it again, I would probably try the Fujitsubo Legalis and get FI HFC instead of the Stillen. However I was told the FI and Stillen has Magnaflow core so it shouldn't make much of a difference. Could be wrong.

If you want a bit more flow (and therefore, performance, no matter ow little a gain you get out of it), then I don't really have any recommendations I can make.

But if you just want a nice note, like I did, then I can wholeheartedly recommend the Megan Racing muffler that I got. Bolt-on and have fun. They only had the burnt titanium look tips on it though, which I wasn't a fan of, so I chopped them off and replaced them with some nice stainless steel oval tips. I believe they now offer it with conventional polished tips so you won't have to go to that extent like I did.

I couldn't agree with you more sonicii (I've been there, done that... not just once... but twice!) - won't be doing that again.

Stick with an off the shelf cat back exhaust system from a reputable company that has invested the $$$ into R&D.

I had Andrew from AM Performance do the cat back on my 370GT Sedan.

In hindsight, I think it's probably better to buy one from a company that has done a load of R&D to perfect their product but Andrew does top notch work and I'm happy to support local business when they're great people.

I'm also happy with what he produced :)

However with the aussie dollar being so piss poor at the moment, I'm not sure buying from overseas is a great idea right now....

One advantage of getting a custom exhaust made is you can always go back to the shop to get it tweaked if you're not happy. Just try to be as specific as possible when you tell them what you want otherwise you'll end up paying even more.

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
