Exhaust help, defects?

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a Tomei Expreme Ti? Its a single exit which can be adjusted to fit the g35...

How is defecting for exhausts, anyone had any issues? I believe this exhaust is obnoxiously loud, and could attract unwanted attention, i.e the police. I have read the regulations for the exhausts here in South Aus, but i couldn't determine if it is illegal. Its very, very loud and is easy to determine as an 'aftermarket exhaust' due to its appearance. I only drive my car 3 - 4 times a week. I cannot risk a defect as all my money is in the car :4_joy:

Please let me know your honest thoughts, on if i should go with this or remain stock as i cannot risk a defect! :)

If it is indeed 'very, very' loud as you say, then you WILL get defected. Depends a lot of where and when you drive it too. Even if it was just one 'very' loud, you would be likely to get defected if you drove anywhere near town on a Saturday night or attended any of the cruises about the place where cops tend to congregate and target imports (even with quiet exhausts). Drawing unnecessary attention to yourself is not a great idea if you cannot risk a defect. Fullstop.

Do what I did and get high flow cats, a custom Y-pipe, and delete the muffler from your mid-pipe. Gives you a bit more burble and power, but is definitely not loud enough to draw unwanted attention. Go and see Andrew at AM Performance - he is the best in the business imho.

Why on earth would you change to an expensive,  noisy, defectable exhaust with no obvious benefits? Buy some better wheels and tyres or even a sound system or restaurant meals for better value for money!

If you believe the exhaust is obnoxiously loud, why are you still interested in it? Only obnoxious people (aka wankers) take interest in such items for a street vehicle. They do it because they want to be noticed. Plain and simple.

As I've said in a similar post, concerning custom exhausts:

If you want to extract as much horsepower out of your NA vehicle as you possibly can, get an Akrapovic exhaust system.

If you want a nice note that's tasteful and not obnoxious, get a Megan Racing muffler.

If you want to be a wanker, get a custom exhaust made with tips that can house a whole illegal immigrant family.

(gets defected for having a shit, loud exhaust) #f*kdapolees

Drill holes in your muffler, or space the joints with washers. No need to spend money on titanium exhausts unless you're after instaface likes

Well.... If the only mod is your exhaust and you get pulled over by the cops and then have to take the exhaust off, then put back on ome exhaust on for the pits. You will be slugged with the pit inspection fee which is about $80????

As long as you don't have any other problems with your car you'll be fine.

:banana:So roll with it until the day comes :banana:

You'll get over the obnoxiously loud exhaust very quickly.

Drop your catback exhaust and drive it around for a week. If you don't hate it, go deaf, or get pulled over by the popo within this time then go ahead and install the tomei.

Tomei is out of the picture then :4_joy: I think i will go custom to save peoples ears and my money. cheers :)

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
