Hey guys,

My 33's exhaust is getting a bit old and I'm wanting to get a new system. I'm not sure whether to get one made or to buy one of the abundances of off the shelf systems online. There are a few systems for around the $1,100 mark on RHDJapan which seem okay, however I don't mind spending more on getting something made if that is the better option. Any opinions regarding whether custom is better, or some indication of what the best off the shelf system is?

 

Thanks in advance

At the moment only has a TBE, front mount, highflowed turbo and splitfires, but the exhaust will be put together with the next round of parts which will be bigger injectors (thinking 750), Forward facing plenum and a Haltech plug-in so I can get a tune.

I got a very rare moonface dump and fr pipe which are worth $700 new and discontinued used in very good cond
Good for low cars i would sell for $300
And have a invidia 3 inch stainless steel catback with oval muffler i would sell for $250
Very quiet system yet doesnt have the neck downs like most jap exhaust do which restrict power
All for r33 1507286412933.jpeg1507286465914.jpeg1507286491778.jpeg

Unless it's a titanium Akrapovic...I'll choose custom everytime. Mild steel with mandrel bends finishing at a stainless muffler. Never understood the obsession with full stainless - to me it sounds tinny particularly up high and tends to drone more. Not faithful to the true engine sound. IMO what you want is a dampened/quiet version of the engine running straight off the dumps.

My GTS-T cost about $600-700 to do 3" turbo back with bellmouth dump and resonator - I supplied the cat and the end muffler (varex). The mild steel makes it look stock/factory and it doesn't drone at all. Custom = close to the body - some off the shelf systems don't bolt up well if you have chassis kinks etc. Best of all, you get a unique sound because everyone else does stainless ;)

21 year old Nismo mild steel pipe brah. 2 years on e85, still going strong but is too quiet. About to be replaced with a HKS hi power with a varex on the back so i can hear myself think when i need to or blast out the rb soundtrack.

My Varex now giving me issues and I blame this thread.

Used every day for 7 years with no faults and out of nowhere it won't open/shut easily.

Such a good muffler, though. As mentioned before, my exhaust doesn't drone and my music/tyres are usually louder anyway, but when you don't want to be heard it's quieter than the factory system. I reckon it's saved me an EPA at least a few times in the vicinity of a cop car / booze bus.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
