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.

    • That is typical (for a rb at least) with a medium to large turbo, noting the format of the graph is probably misleading what you see a little (half portrait width but full height, in landscape it would look quite different) Basically until it hits target boost the torque curve is rising steeply, when that is 4000+ rpm it is not great to drive since almost all of your life is between 1,000 and 3,000 rpm. Once you hit target boost the wastegate opens and torque stops rising so quickly. From there the shape of the curve depends mostly on the cams and where they have a peak vs the rev limiter
    • Last of the maintenance items for now....not sure why but the drivers side window switch had heaps of wear on the right front and right rear switches Unfortunately, unlike earlier Skylines the controls are bolted to the door trim from the inside. So....off the with door trim. There are bolts or screws: Behind the door handle cover, pop it off from the handle side Under the rubber trim at the bottom of the door pull (also just pops up) Behind the courtesy light at the bottom. Other than that, just window down then pop off the usual selection of push in clips around the perimeter and the trim lifts up Interesting that they have a bolt on cover instead of the old school plastic held on by goop....I guess they prioritised sound levels over price Then, 2 screws and 2 plugs to replace the switch (looks identical to the Fuga/Q70 one incidentally) and put it all back together. Also much better
    • ok I understand, but the majority of turbo vehicles lose torque, or have a flat torque curve after the spool.  hence my initial misunderstanding. I didn't think this type of curve was possible  
    • It is completely normal. Your original understanding is what was wrong, not what you see in the charts.
    • made with turbo and tuned by (hypergear)
