Hey y'all

bought myself a BATMBL 3" front/dump pipe and 3" Hi-flow CAT, so now i need a 3" CATBACK exhaust to complete the system :)

Looking at Apexi N1 or Blitz Nur spec exhausts, but can find f*ck all pictures of them on cars, not catalogue type pics. I searched all 20 pages of "apexi" thread titles, and "blitz" thread titles, and found NO pics of either exhausts on a car.

Prefer pics of these exhausts on a R34 but i guess any car/skyline really.

The other thing, does it really matter what 3" catback i get? It's basically a hollow piece of steel? Or is that simplifying things too much?

These 2 seem to sit nice and parallel to the ground and don't stick out from the rear bar (i don't want all that funky angled shit). If anyone else knows other types of exhausts that are similar shapes, i'm all ears.

cheers,

daniel.

Apexi N1 is an angled exhaust (hence the N1 designation).

I recently invested in a Trust Power Extreme II. It is also N1 style but i have found it grows on you, plus in reality the angled ones do flow better because there is not a big 90 degree bend just before the muffler.

I bought it at Advan performance in NSW who are actually a great bunch of guys and stuck the exhaust on while I waited for only $35. Even though it's a direct bolt on - the effort saved by using their hoist to undo the carbon fibre under tray and shit is totally worth $35.

Anyway these guys import trust gear into Australia and would ship it interstate - they always have Trust exhausts in stock too.

Another reason they are angled - a lowered car will scrape the muffler of a straight-out tipped exhaust because the 'departure angle' is too shallow...

If you angle them up they give better ground clearance and the tip is less likely to be destroyed :rofl:

thanks for the pics everyone, and yeah, Chris and especially CNBLOW, pics would be awesome!!

I know it would be better to have a straight as pipe possible, but i figure i won't really be able to tell a difference, so i want to go with something that i like the look of (not what the Japanese are doing :rofl: )

Blitz: it's not exactly straight, but i like the look of your exhaust. Do you mind if i ask how much?

Sewid: i ain't joining no dark side if it means i'm going to be unhappy with the way something looks on my car :rofl: You got any pics or urs?

cheers guys

I just went downstairs to take some pics.

Check them out:

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA @ the ruler pic! ;)

A little too much parallax error there for me to tell, but it certainly ain't 22.75cm's is it! more like 12'ish

Car looks phat sewid. Does ur exhaust trumpet out a bit??

Hey Brendan, do you have any pics mate??

cheers

haha yeah it's hard to use a ruler to take a good measuremeant of that while taking a photo. But i'd say 12 - 14cm high.

I don't exactly know what you mean but the exhaust doesn't stick out far at all. It ends almost exactly where the stock exhaust ended. Also it's not very loud at idle but when you hit 4 or 5 grand it starts to really growl so its excellent for putting around town and not getting noticed by cops.

sorry, wasn't very clear. I mean the tip bit, trumpet out, as in, diameter gets wider just for the tip bit? Probably just the angle it was taken on.

Is it much different to an Apexi N1 shape?

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
