i need an exhaust will the following priorities:

1. not too loud or drony, preferably quiet (like stock) when idling or crusing, but can be loud when pushing the car

2. needs to perform well enough coz i wanna run max boost in my stock turbo (going to get a dual stage controller and already got a pod and will probably get a dr drift chip)

where should i get it done how much expect to pay ?

i also wanna have a massive stainless 5" tip, shoul;d i go a name brand for the tip ? advantages ? disadvantages ?

thanks guys :burnout:

massive! huh...

just go to a local exhaust place tell them what you want and usually they'll do it pretty good

if your looking for somewhere in melbourne that is recommended id take mine to red ace motors in hugesdale they import cars and were originally an exhaust place but now they also do rwc's as well. So they fit exhausts to skylines all the time. I've dealt with them and i told a friend of mine to go there as well... everything was good

Personally I'd go for the branded ones. They are a straight bolt on and have been designed for maximum flow. Even chase up a second hand one, you may even get away with $500 for a cat back system!!!

My cat back exhaust cost me $500 and it's an Apexi Dual N1 item. If your not in a hurry, just look around in forums, you're bound to come across a good cat back system!!!

Don't go cat back if you are looking for performance.

You will need to get a turbo back 3" system, with high flow cat and straight through muffler (less retriction). Australian brands like turbosmart are just as good.

I got mine done at an exhaust place in Webb Str., in Airport West (just off Matthews Ave.) Can't think of the name but you can't miss it.

Getting everything new allows you to choose how you want your exhaust to sound and look.

If any of ya ever heard of Barney Exhaust, big and well name place. I know Barney myself, he works on Dayton Ferrari, big horse power car and after closing the business down he still works in a shed at the back of a farm but big place and fully equiped and price are reasonable as well so if you want to check it out give me a buzz.

    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
