Hi guys, i'm in a dilemma here. I have 2 second hand exhaust system to choose from. First is a Ganador titanium wif 80mm piping and the other is a Trust TR Power Evolution wif 94mm piping. The difference is only AUD300 (Ganador being the more exp one). my current Nismo exhaust is 80mm but it has a big square restrictor kinda box.

Current mods are not extensive- apexi air filter, fcon vpro, boost controller, tomei fuel pump. Gonna keep the rest stock for next 1-2 years.

Which one should i choose? i'm just afraid the Trust one wud get me in some serious shit wif the cops.

Your opinion are much appreciated.

Get the Trust and spend the money you saved on a decent hiflow cat, if you haven't already. Else its a compromise between noise and flow.

What's your power target? That tells you what size exhaust you will need. My rule of thumb;

Up to 250 rwkw = 3"

250 rwkw to 300 rwkw = 3.25"

300 rwkw to 400 rwk = 3.5"

Over 400 rwkw = 4"

:P cheers :)

:P cheers :)

So say my target for now is 300 - 400 rwkw. If i change to to 4" piping, would it compromise my mid-range torque?

The intlet of the ganador muffler is relatively small (which is currently same size as my nismo which looks to me something like 2.5"!!) when compared to other mufflers in its class. This is the reason why i wanted to change my nismo exhaust. If i were to choose this ganador muffler, it wud be for its straight flow shape n its lightness (as opposed to the nismo's "s-shaped" piping n heaviness. My question is, is it worth it?

Thanks for your opinions again. very much appreciated.

Having too big an exhaust is NOT a problem on a turbo charged engine. As far as power goes anyway, although it might be a noise problem of course. Titanium tends to be noisier than stainless steel, it doesn't absorb the sound as much, the titanium seems to echo more.

We use titanium exhausts on the race cars for their light weight, a 4" titanium system is less than 1/4 the weight of a 4" stainless system. But they are expensive and very difficult to repair it they get damaged. Personally on a road car I would stick to steel.

:rofl: Cheers :D

My worry abt the 4" exhaust was the compromise in mid range torque. So since it wudnt be affected (apart fr the noise level) then i might as well get it then instead of the Ganador Titanium. Then at least when i'm ready for more power i dun haf to change my exhaust again.

Thanks!

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
