Hey guys,

Looking at upgrading the exhaust on my R34 GTT over the next few months. I was just wondering what my best options are for with:

- Quiet on idle

- Loud on high RPM

- Offers the highest performance

- Budget of $1,000

Anyone have recommendations and stores to buy from?

Thanks

For highest performance you'll want a full turbo back including dump, front pipe and a high flow cat.

I'd offer a couple of other requirements to add to the list if I may:

  • Properly fitted and tucked in for maximum ground clearance, there's nothing worse than scraping your car or mid muffler on speed humps all the time
  • Not droney at standard road speeds 60, 80, 100, 110

The cheapest may not be the best. I have a full frankenexhaust mixed from random parts, it fits well and performs great but is droney and probably ended up being more costly this way too...

This doesn't really exist with the budget you have.

Unless you want to buy like, someone's second hand exhaust and then do a little modding/fabbing to make it fit and work with your setup as every setup is a bit different.

In other words, buy my old exhausts, thanks - Nothing off a shelf is going to satisfy the criteria you've listed

$1000 will only get you something second hand if you require turbo back and it will either be loud or restrictive.

I'd probably try to find something second hand that flows really well and stick a decent muffler in it.

I can probably compromise on a few areas for now. With just a basic exhaust surely $1,000 is sufficient? (Excluding installation)

It can be done, try Jesse Streeter or Import Monster and see if they can supply a Fujitsubo Legalis or similar. Understand these will have a restrictor inbuilt and will struggle to make top end power, but will sound great and be legal or close to legal dB.

Otherwise there are quite a few places that could do a custom stainless system for that coin.

Buy a cheap mig, a hooker aeroflow, a Berkelee straight through.. Some pipe and bends.

Make. It.

Then you also own a shit mig welder. But it's an exhaust. So shit welds are ok.

That's what you get when you pay an "expert " to make one.

You will either crash car or sell it before exhaust wears out......or falls off, depending how shit you weld.

Google. How to weld.

If you want to get some ideas for a modded setup here's what I have:

  • JJR 3" bellmouth dump/front – customised (to ensure good fit with my Hypergear IWG, and for ground clearance)
  • Venom 3" high flow metal cat – flows much more than the XForce I had first
  • Custom 3" piping between cat and mid muffler
  • Small mid muffler – for good ground clearance
  • HKS Super Drager 3.5" to 5" rear section and muffler

It would have been cheaper to build a full custom system rather than mixing and matching parts over time but oh well. Also full second hand systems for the sedan are like hen's teeth.

And get raped hard. What a bloody stupid idea to promote...

A decent exhaust doesn't improve in power when you drop it.

LoL one out of a million effective methods.

My R34's pumping 380rwkws internally gated with exhaust dropped, make no where where near it with 3 inches exhaust back on. I'm sure you will come up with a quite alternative.

I have a full turbo back system to suit an R34 sedan that I may be willing to part with if anyone ever requires one.

Psssh, I have two of them! :P

How does that system actually work? Because looking at it, I actually thought it was a better (i.e, far easier to hide) system than Scotty's "external gate on housing" setup.

Then again, why not just simply make the dump diameter that size?

Car is currently running a full 3 inches SS Havoc fabrications turbo back exhaust with two megnaflow mufflers keeping it quite.

The idea is getting back pressure out of the exhaust system. Valve is spring pensioned that is forced open by exhaust gas pressure when > 3psi. It is currently opening at WOT in 3rd and 4th.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
