As anyone here installed titanium exhaust systems, most preferably Cat back!!

Its worth about 200 bucks more than normal stainless or whateva, but is it really worth it??

Also maybe titanium for dump/front pipe, but im yet to find a twin split pipe in titanium..

BUt i wanna know your opinions and if anyone has installed one..

So basically i just need some feedback..

Ohh the car is for series 2 r33..

Thanks..

i got a full exhaust on my r33 series 2, heres what i did and heres what i found. the jap brand exhaust and titanium dont mean much at all and probably just adds to the cost. your local exhaust shop can probably fit and supply a 3" exhaust for about $1100ish. should include a 3" hiflow cat. then you just need a suitable split dump pipe. batmbl can sell a 3" twin split dump pipe for $400 which connects to the cat. the exhaust place should be able to fit this for you and it should end up costing about $1400 total fitted for 3" twin split dump and 3" hiflow cat and exhaust.

most jap brands are $1300ish delivered then you have to fit it and then get a dump pipe as well. so all in all ask your local exhaust shop for a price to:

supply + fit 3" cat back system with hi flow cat

fit 3" split dump pipe to suit turbo flange and connects to cat

Titanium exhausts are overkill IMO and are only good for vehicles trying to attain an exhaust that can withstand massive amounts of heat (ie. in drag, track vehciles) and wish to lighten there car. It will only lighten it by about 2-5kg over stainless steel so I wouldn't bother.

Save your $200 and spend it on something else.

actually you'll find a mild steel / stainless steel exhaust will weigh in the region of 20+ kilos, whereas a titanium system will be in the region of 8 - 10...

Ok I know its not a Skyline but my CBR600 came with a titanium exhaust fitted from the previous owner (it cost $1000).

Main advantages to me:

1) It is extremley light weight and therfore enhances power/weight ratio and cornering.

2) It DOESN'T get hot AT ALL - which means I don't burn anything when I touch it.

I have a veilside teardrop titanium cat back exhaust for a R34 GTR weights 4.2 kg (standard GTR exhuast is 18kg) it is one of the lightest on the market it is around 3 1/2 inches has no resonator and is a one piece exhaust. Have heard one on a R33 GTR wasn't droney or overly loud they dont seem to be that well known amongst the skyline community but are the exhaust to have amongst alot of the supra boys in the US.

Its not that the Vileside (whoops, bad habit ;)) teardrop exhausts aren't 'known', its that most of use aren't made of out gold. Even titanium exhausts from the less exclusive Japanese manufactures like Trust are expensive let alone those from companies like Vileside, Amuse, Fujitsubo or god forbid ARC.

Its a shame Rezz didn't continue his little commercial venture as he had access to some of the second tier companies that made titanium exhausts.

I payed $1150 for it delivered out of japan to sydney and about another $80 to get it up to townsville thats cheaper then most stainless systems

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
