zackr33 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 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 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472262-new-exhaust-time-for-r33-gtst/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackr33 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 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.

r32-25t Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 For what you're using any of the off the shelf exhaust will do the job. Now it depends on what your ultimate goal is depends on if you want to future proof it or not Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472262-new-exhaust-time-for-r33-gtst/#findComment-7853148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
niZmO_Man Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Grab two big Magnaflow (or similar brand) mufflers and get something fabbed up (I'd go 3.5" cat back). In saying that, I have a second hand HKS Hi Power Silent, seems to flow well and is barely legal. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472262-new-exhaust-time-for-r33-gtst/#findComment-7853200 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryRB Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I modded a loud ass hks system with a resonance pipe, got all the flow without the loud drone of a free flowing system Sounds awesome on boost and quiet .

Birds Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 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 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472262-new-exhaust-time-for-r33-gtst/#findComment-7853346 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 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.
