Hello people and how are we all today? :(

I need some help wit an after-market exhaust system for a R33 GTS-T S2

I’m after a Turbo back exhaust, have no idea were to start looking. However I’m after that “True Jap Style Exhaust Tip”… Poking out on an angle a huge 5 inch tip will do.

I just want to know which is “worth for money” APEXi, HKS or EXFORCE.

Which is better, gives more power and cost less?

And should I get for 3.5 inch turbo back or bigger if possible?

What recommendations do you guys have for a rookie? :rofl:

Thankx guys

I picked up a 3" turbo back X force exhaust for mine. Mild steel with stainless steel cannon muffler. Comes with everything you need...bolts, gaskets etc. Sounds great, not too loud.

And for $700 you cant go wrong.

if you have a desire to get really annoyed, like stuff dropping in eyes/hair, working on something thats been heated/cooled a thousand times so nothing will undo, working in tight spaces that maybe accessable if your standing and have safe lifting devices go ahead.

Me I cant get a trolley jack under mine and leave the underside to people who like it.

go to your local exhaust shop

say "g'day mate. how much for a 3-inch mandrel-bent exhaust from the turbo-back? i'm after a cannon muffler on that"

then when you get a price, go to antoher place and ask the same question... also some people might be able to recommend a place where they went and can verify some good quality work

i paid $550 for 3" cat-back in mild steel with large resonator and stainless cannon muffler. the place i went to i think has gone under (blinky's brake and exhausts). i also paid $240 for a 3" dump/front from BATMBL.

you will find that you can get a BRAND NEW exhaust custom-made exactly how you want it for less than the price of a 5 year old jap-brand exhaust that hangs so low that it scrapes along the ground...

cheers,

Warren.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
