R33 gtst exhaust question

[dtrants]

Hey guys.

Might be a dumb question but I couldn’t find a definitive answer on the internet.

 

Im looking at buying an xforce turbo back exhaust in the picture I’ve attached but I don’t know if I will need to buy a front pipe (also attached)? Does the front pipe and dump pipe do the same thing or will I need both? 

 

Thanks for answering the newb question!

Hi Dan

you want the JJR stainless bellmouth dump pipe, which runs all the way to the cat...so eliminates the front pipe and turbo elbow, as it's all one piece. I tested the split dump pipe and JJr bellmouth-type dump pipe and found the bellmouth to be faaaaaar superior.

I also recommend just buying a Venom 4 or 5in metal cat rather than any ceramic cat they usually throw in as part of a package deal.

Hey mate!

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve looked into the parts you mentioned. Does that mean if I buy them I will only need to buy a cat back system? If so, can you recommend one?

 

cheers

Cat back means everything after the catalytic converter. So you can buy a cat back that will bolt up to the factory cat, or you can replace everything after the turbo.

if you want my advice - and let's face it, who wouldn't :p - you should get this

which leads into this

and then, "cat back exhaust' is this - although, on the loud side so you might want something quieter...but then again, powerrrr

The ceramic cats are shithouse, so rather than buying one now, then changing to a metal cat that's cheap/nasty to save $50, i recommend just get a 5in. body Venom cat that you're unlikely to ever need to upgrade.

Hey mate.

 

thanks for the links! Do you know where I can buy any other brands for the cat back part of the exhaust? Haven’t been able to find any other than that JJR part that you mentioned above.

 

i don’t want to buy a full exhaust just to use the cat back section?

[dtrants]

And just to confirm if I buy the jjr front pipe and the venom cat I’ll only need the cat back section and it’ll all be good to go right?

 

thanks!

[hardsteppa]

yes - you buy the JJR  BELLMOUTH dump (very important - don't bother with the split type, get bellmouth. Also, JJR stainless seem to be the best made/value for money), Venom cat (as recommended, pay the few extra $$ and get 5in body, rather than skimp now and want to get bigger in a years' time), and then you just need a catback exhaust. HEAPS of Jap brands available, which are usually all just cat-back. But they all get way more pricey. I only just recently got the JJR hyperflow catback which looks to be a knockoff of the HKS, but is in full (304?) stainless rather than 409>304. Was using a Blitz NUR spec previously which I liked, but the JJR is quieter (probs cos brand new) and unleashes more torque. Very happy with it for the price.

Hey guys,

 

So turns out that the JJR cat backs are out of stock for the next couple months (emailed the manager today) can anyone link me to somewhere I can buy a cat back?

 

cheers!

Try google.
Literally hundreds of places to buy exhausts from.
Or go down to your local muffler shop and get a system made

Don't buy, they are shit and way to loud. You'll be taking it to an exhaust shop to get another muffler put in to stop the drone. Scan Gumtree or Facebook sales for a decent Jap exhaust.

Holy fkballs...2500 for a 3in r33 exhaust? With a shithouse split dump pipe?

[dtrants]

Hey guys.

So I’ve bought the JJR front pipe and bought a blitz Nur spec cat back. Just waiting for the cat to get delivered and I can get it installed! Just before I do, I’ve never seen this in an exhaust before. What is it? And can it/ should it be taken out?

 

thanks!

 

[dtrants]

Quick note: that’s inside the exhaust tip 

[Milkmun]

Just a silencer, undo the little screw and remove it if you want it to be louder

IMO it's a bandaid for poor design.

 

Take it out and its louder, put it in and its quiter, quiter due to restriction.

[dtrants]

Hmm weird! Thanks for he replies fellas. I’ll probably take it out ?

[GTSBoy]

They are f**koff loud without the silencer.
