hey y'all

been a while since i've been around... hope all is goin well with SAU Vic, i will make it to a meeting one day, once work shifts permit. Always manage to get a tuesday shift somehow...

anyways... i'm interested in getting a custom 3" catback exhaust done... i don't really like any of the aftermarket catbacks for the R34, and i have a very specific look in mind. Already got 3" front/dump and 3" cat, just wanna finish it off...

so yeah, just wondering if anyone knows of a rough cost for a custom catback job? And maybe some good places to call?

cheers y'all, and take care

$1100?? damn! i didn't think it was going to be that much. I know you said could get a better price, but that seems like a FULL 3" system price...

hmm... would you recommend i even give them a call??

Friend of mine had an Exhaust installed at Trufit not long ago and the guy was exceptionally helpful... Let us try a big rang of exhausts and also was very reasonable on his price... Would go down and see him at least to just see what he has to say... And check out his cars damn....

i think the Blitz was one of those angled kinda ones?? i know it's better for flow... but i want one that sits straight... but i could be wrong on the model..

thanks for the Trufit tip... i'm in Sandy, so it's pretty close. Def give them a call..

if anyone else of some places, that would be great ;)

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
