OK now before i start posting, yes i have searched and read all the posts related to exhausts.. But i have a few questions that im still confused about..

1) What is the quailty workmanship between a jap brand exhaust (thinking off gettin Trust Pe2 or Blitz Nur spec r, or fujitsbo) than to a local one such as xforce..

2) The price difference between them is huge!! eg, nur spec r is 950 excludin shippin, where as xforce is about 550--- > This is for catback exhausts!! Why is this.. Both stainless steel!!

3) Does jap brand exhaust have a better design??

4) Now this quesiton is related to sound, and i know it comes down to personal preference, but how does 1 go to listening to different types of exhausts.. so basically need some input in terms of what your exhaust sounds like..

5) So is it better to save money and go local, which might do the same job as a jap brand??

6) Ok well, if you could state which exhaust you have and why, please do so and any input will be much apprieacted..

7) Gettin split dump/front pipe n hiflow cat affect the noise??

Sorry about the long post..

But need as much help as possible to decide which exhaust (catback) will sound gd..

ohh btw this is for a series 2 r33..

cheers..

Personally I'd go for a Jap brand exhaust because of the massive experience they have in dealing with Skylines.

You probably won't notice any difference in power but I'd suspect things like quality of the bends and fitment are better in the Jap-made one.

As for sound, there is no real way to know. Maybe go on a cruise or dyno day and listen to exhausts and see if there's a sound you're attracted to then ask the owner about the system.

I have a 3" Kakimoto catback, standard cat and JustJap front/dump pipe combo. The sound is not too loud and if you search around SAU, you'll find that many of us recommend Kakimoto for a decent level of sound.

However, if I had the money I'd go for an Apexi N1 Catback. My brother had one on his FTO and it sounded extremely good.

May i ask which Fujitsubo exhaust?? i would like the powergetter..

Well basically im not intending of gettin a catback for power!! it is more in the intention of noise(rumbly type) and the looks of gettin a nice barrel at the end..

i say local..

and not local brand, i mean local exhaust shop

you get:

- brand new

- to your specifications re sound and height of the ground

- half the price

- good quality

i paid $540 for a 3" cat-back in mild steel with a stainless cannon muffler and an extra-large resonator.. all installed and tested before paying the money over

fansastic value for money and sounds exactly to my specifications

plus they actually make it sit higher than stock so you can get your car lowered and still make clearance :P

cheers,

Warren.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
