Hey guys,

Just looking to get some feedback from any of you who may have got an exhaust fabricated locally, where you got it done, roughly how much and how satisfied you were with the job. I'm looking at getting a full 3" exhaust in the next month or so, and 2nd hand cat-back Jap systems aren't readily available for my poor JZX100... And the brand new ones are looking at costing around $1100! So custom is looking very attrictive...

Thanks.

Damn....TourerV... Nice :P

Powatone did a good job on my last car, and they were pretty good blokes too. However have heard mixed reactions about them lately. City Exhaust have done some really nice work with intercooler piping on some car's i've seen, so maybe them as well. Good luck with it, and hopefully we'll hear the car coming from now on so there's time to turn and gawk at one of the rarer imports :P

I got mine done at City Exhaust. cost me $600 for a 3" dump and 3" cat. i already had a cat-back and a muffler, so that's why it was a bit cheaper.

very happy with the results, brought the dB down below 90 (just) but still sounds really good.

CITY EXHAUST ARE THE GO. WE HAD SOME WORK DONE ON OUR RACE CAR THERE WHEN WE WERE IN TOWN.THEY KNOW THERE SH1T.

Hmmm, I must have had my intercooler piping done when they were under different management/owners (City Exhaust) cause the work that was done when I had my car there was bloody shocking !!, oh, plus the fact they took my car for a 13km 'test'....

I've been to PowaTone twice now and are very happy with their work.

The Stagea recently got a full 3 inch turbo back system done at powatone and it cost me $900 (minus cat). The work is top notch. They may not be the cheapest around, but the work is good and they won't 'test drive' your car.

Had my exhaust done by Phil at Skyline Performance, beautiful job, couildnt be happier with the quality

My mate had Phil build up a 3sgte motor (spent about $8k on the block & head alone !!) for him, and the quality of work he did was nothing short of amazing.

Ever seen the INSIDE of a block and a knife edged crank end polished so well you could see your reflection ?

Tuggeranong Mufflers are the buisness! they have done all my work so far on both cars and will continue on future cars.

check this out was all done at tuggers... all custom, love the GTR but still have a spot for my good old MX6... though i love anything with a 450+ HP turbo on it :P

its not finished up with the joins being filed back... i dont care for looks i like performance.

heres a manifold phil at skylines performance made from scratch for my GTR!!!!

Powatone is probably the best but you have to make sure you get raff to do it as he is the pro out there, so thats where the conflicting stories come from!!

I have seen some real nightmare jobs come from city exhuast but i have also seen some top quality sh.t aswell again i think you have to get the right bloke to do it not the apprentice using the electric arc!!!!haha

Out of those three you probs will get a good job so its up to you!!!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
