If you're plumbing your gate back 100% go 3.5" even 4". If you're running a screamer, you can get away with a 3" based on your estimate power goals. Bigger is always better.

Hmm, makes me rethink my plans for a bigger exhaust if screamer makes that much of a difference ;)

I'd like an extra inch..

Wait what are we talking about again?

I really do like the sound of those Kakimoto catbacks but i'm not sure 3.5" is going to cut it for ~380-400awkw. Would hardly want to be spending big bucks on one only ot find i need to sell it also.

550awkw has been acheived with a 2.8 stroker and 3.5in exhaust (no screamer) - not to say that bigger won't be better

I'm currently running a full 3" system with no step downs, however with a screamer... I will be redoing it sometime this year and plumbing everything back and running a 3.5" turbo back, however I'm going to be sneaky and plumb the screamer back after the cat :)

Smells legal when the gate is shut, not so legal when the gate opens haha :)

+1 to this, John has it.

Also if plumbing gate back in, make sure you do it as far down as possible, less disruption to gas flow (etc etc)

They sound great, restrictive as hell. Been there and done that!

Universal mufflers and get one fabbed up is a better option.

With the jap exhuast is it the cannon ore the centre mufflers thats the restriction ? My blitz type r has caused a restriction at 350rwkw i would like to know if its the centre resonator thing or the cannon that restricts flow

If your rear looks like that, you've found it.

They may have been nice enough to taper it down or after the front muffler too. Such nice blokes.

Holy mother of God. What system is that?

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
