My 33 came with a Blitz 3inch cat-back exhaust from japan (with cannon).. When idling I rekon it sounds pretty quite/tame, but still very deep.. As you drive harder it gets noticably louder but..

Overall very well balanced cat-back system... Cost about $800 for cat-back or $1500 for full turbo-back system i hear...

I have a very similar sound clip of a blitz exhaust if u want it...

jagr33 (jack) im pretty sure has a twin 2.5" mufflers on his gtr which i think flow just as much as most other 3" or 3.5" systems but are no where near as loud, perhaps you could pm him and ask what model he has?

'quiet' for one person = 'loud' for another

what's my point? get a custom-made exhaust from a reputable exhaust shop and choose exactly how loud you want it

a $2000 brand-name piece of pipe doesn't automatically flow better than a similarly-shaped custom $600 jobbie... you can test a number of muddlers to find one you like if you don't want a cannon one.

but then again, some people just have to have the brand name...

I am yet to own a car (the count is 11 now I think) that has had a brand name exhaust.

All of mine were custom (at least cat back) and are always louder than others I've heard with jap systems.

that's why I asked the question.

hahaha, The liberty RS Turbo I had a few years back.. man that thing had such a deep and loud sound that it was unbearable at about 3200rpm.. it was a little quieter on either side of that rev range.

minimum 4 car alarms would go off in every car park.

the S14 is not that bad, but still loud.

come to think of it, my skyline before wasn't too loud and it was custom..

hmmm.

my exhaust system is a custom 3inch mandrel bent job from turbo back.. its generaly 'quiet' but dont know wat the **** alarm system it was the other day but i started up in an angle park on a side street and set off a car alarm :rofl: was rather funny but yer i havent been hassled about my exhaust by cops yet.. but yer its a plain straight thru system with just the rear cannon 4inch tip.. isnt to bad all up cost was around 1k for the whole system.. with split dump pipe all stainless.. all tig welded

I've got a custom aussy job.

It is a 3" from the turbo back, 3" highflow large cat, larger center resonator (this is the trick to a nice flowing quiet exhaust) and finally a large rear straight through muffler that only 'just' fits. The rear of the muffler is painted black and leaving the muffler is a single 3" s/steel tip. It doesn't attract any attention.

Nor does it have a 1kg milo tin sticker attached. hahah :D

The exhaust has a nice note, doesn't drone and cannot be heard when cruising next to it with the window up, with the window down you can only hear a slight growl.

D&T Performance in Adelaide (google) did the exhaust. One dissapointment with it is the lack of quality or care that went in to the dump pipe.

What do you mean by this? Did they damage something? I ask cause I got my catback done at D&T Performance, and was seriously thinking in getting them to do the full exhaust sometime.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
