Hi guys, i am looking at exhausts, I like the Apexi N1 Dual, though people only seem to be selling the Single now..

I am a little cautious of getting a custom job as obviously the big companies put a lot of money and research into it, and i have reservations of someone just throwing something together..

i am interested in mid-high range torque increase

Just wondering if anyone has one and how loud it is? i don't want it to be rediculously loud (like the 1.8L mirages these days), but have a nice note and really open up when the throttle is down..

anyone else got any suggestions.. i liked the look of the N1 Duals and the theory that it increased midrange (i think N1's are for High range), There are also GT ones as well, but i am not too fussed about stainless (though i think the pipes are bigger?)

Has anyone seen / got a titanium N1?

Any help / comments appreciated

I also have an Apexi N1, the note is aggressive but not too loud and annoying like some others. I would tend to go for a Japanese style muffler, but the rest of the system may aswell be local, just get a 3" system, with dump pipe and separate wastegate pipe with hiflow cat.

See'ya:burnout:

I have the FGK (FitsuboGiken) exhaust from cat back. It is the quietest jap exhaust I have heard on a skyline appart from stock.

It has a nice deep 'pur' on idle and lets you know you what the engine is doing when you give it heaps. It looks good and does the job without the 'cop-bait' noise and has excellent quietness when on cruise. Makes your car more of a 'sleeper'.

rev210    The FGK sounds like what I'm looking for, where did you get yours?  My current one has a fairly loud(in the ****pit) and very annoying drone.

Hmmmm!   I've been censored!!

Mines the Super Ti (titanium rear muffler)

you can buy it from fitsubo themselves, I got mine with the car.

It quieter than stock exept for the full throttle revs.

The only thing with Trust is it doesn't have any markings on it except the JASMA certification plate. You only got a piece of paper if you buy new to prove that it's a Trust item :D

Mine just arrived...

At least the muffler barrel not that big so it won't hit the speedbumps near my workplace....

cause i was cleaning my zorst the other day and seeing if my Kakimoto one will fit, and there is a JASMA plate on it... i didnt know what the **** it was, did a search nd found this...

comments?

cancel that...

JASMA

Often owners may find 'JASMA' stamped on an aftermarket exhaust that was on their car when they bought it. JASMA is not a exhaust manufacturer, its some sort of organisation that certifies exhausts meet noise standards etc. It stands for Japanese Automobile Sports Muffler Association.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
