Are V36s true dual exhausts? If not these won't fit.

Depends what (if anything) is actually in those resonators. Generally speaking deleting the rear stock exhaust section makes V's sound VERY loud and obnoxious. But for that price and an hours labour it is worth the punt imho (if they actually fit).

Yes.. stock is dual exhaust.. I am just worried with the exhaust change will make the sound harsh or have too much of the metallic note/noise.

I have the same megan racing off ebay a couple years ago. Sounds great but you do get abit metalic noise/raspy when the car is cold. Once the car is warmed up working at its normal temp it's perfect. Also check out invidia or advices from any exhaust shop, you want something that you can live with.

I have an axle back Fujistubo on mine which came with the car from Japan (I think its a legalis-R but I have not been able to find one sold only as an axle back). The rest of the exhaust is stock. Sound is perfect for my needs, slight bark when car first kicks over when cold, which balances out to a subtle V6 rumble. The rest of the time the exhaust sound is very composed, not too loud and barely noticeable especially cruising at highway speeds. Things start to get a little more aggressive in terms of sound at 4.5k - 5k rpm and above.

Thanks for sharing this.. If the axle back exhaust sounds bad, possible to change it back to stock?

Just the muffler or with the dual exhaust? Where did you buy it, overseas or some local shops?

Thanks mate

I only changed the muffler, or as they call it, the axle back exhaust. The stock pipes are just fine as they are and even my exhaust guy encouraged me to stick with them. I bought it from a performance shop in the US back in 2012. Took them a few months to get it out to me but I was overseas for all that time so it wasn't an issue and it was the cheapest I found at the time.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
