i put a just jap bellmouth front pipe on recently and it bolted up perfect. lined up to standard cat position without any modding. this was on an RS4s

D.

how much heat comes through to under your passenger seat now if you removed a heatsheild? as i have amps underthere and JJ haven't gotten back to me about wether any standard sheilds fit(or top half if its clamshell) :blink:

i finally bit the bullet and got a custom mandrel bent 3inch on my s2 auto... it's flippin awesome but 1st - 2nd it hits the rev limiter twice and the gear change completes at about 100... has anyone had similar problems or is it time to work on the box?

the turbo is running in high boost mode with the shorted solenoid

Theres not much talk about mufflers being used and how they go with drown. I have a RS4S with a standed dump,cat with a 3inch SS to 1 muffler from hi-tech mufflers (not a canon) and it sounds great but i just cant settle with the drowning. Im thinking of putting a hotdog in there and see what difference it makes.

+ if your warried about the heat shield on a different dump why dont you heat wrap it???

Im using a justjap 3" bellmouth dump/front pipe into a 3" gutted metal cat, bolted onto 3" catback into 3" magnaflow resonator (hotdog) into 3" straight through kakimoto 'gtr racing' muffler

only drone noticeable is at around 1800rpm

free flowing enough for 250kw@wheels - rs4 auto

Some cool info on here!

I've got a S1 Dayz eddition that came with the optional Nismo exhaust, just curious if anyone knows what the pipe diameter of the Nismo units are, I could probably take it off and measure it up but that requires some effort :nyaanyaa:

Just thinking whether it's worth replacing if it's 2.5 inch or something, or just making up some blast pipes for track/drift days.

Anyone know if it's a full system, catback, or axle back only?

Edit: Shit sorry, I thought this was an exhaust thread ... maybe we should make a sticky with something like "What exhaust are you running".

My S2 came with the Nismo exhaust, from what I was told it's a 2 1/2 inch cat back. I assume the one on the S1 is the same. I thought about just replacing the cat and dump/front pipes to make it 2 1/2 inch all the way, but after doing some reading and asking around ended up making it 3 inch all the way through and love it!

ohk cool! Thanks for that.

So what made you make the switch, what are you running now and did you notice any power improvements from the Nismo item? (I suppose you would considering you swapped the dump pipe and such).

I had initially planned on getting the front of the system through to the cat in 3 inch, and then having in joing out of the cat back down to the existing 2 1/2 inch exhaust, but after doing a bit of reading on here and talking to my tuner, I decided to go 3 inch all the way. What I was told was that it would be too restrictive having it 2 1/2 inch and I was better off having 3 inch all the way to get the best performance. I am running a HKS Hi Power cat back, but I am not sure exactly what brand hi-flow cat or dump pipe, but I'm assuming they are X-Force or something along those lines. Something decent quality without being a major brand. As far as power improvements, I did a Nistune chip, fuel pump and boost controller at the same time, so it's a bit hard to tell exactly how much difference the exhaust itself made, but with that combination and no other mods apart from a HKS pod filter, I am getting 204kw at the wheels on 10psi.

Hope that helps

How loud is that Tim? I might even make something up myself where I can use the Nismo rear muffler for street, and blast pipes for the track.

It is a lot quieter than I expected. I actually noticed very little difference in car, and even outside the car it is not that loud. I think I hear my pod filter more than my exhaust lol

Just remember a oval muffler is always going to be much more quiet than a cannon. they're notorious for noise. not to mention drone.

my setup on my gtr. std dumps, jjr down pipes. xforce cat, custom catback with xforce oval muffler with titanium tip. very quiet on idle. zero to no drone.

bumping old topic but didn't want to start another one,

looking for an cat back exhaust fro my stag, can anyone confirm skyline exhausts fit and if its just a case of changing the hangers or if its shorter?

$T2eC16FHJHQFFhnGq1ycBRyPLy,(Mg~~60_57.J

this seems to be the same shape, its off a r32 gtr.

cheers

I just had a cat back exhaust off a 4 door r32 fitted to my s2 stagea. Needed a few cuts to rotate it slightly, a section added before the rear axle to lengthen it and the hangars moved. It was Mild 3" and had no center muffler, just a varex on the end, so it was easy to modify, only cost be $100 to get fitted. Sounds great too :)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
