Different Exhausts Prices

[SLI-Line]

Hey All,

Well, the time has come to FINALLY get a 3" exhaust + dump pipe for the 32 GTS-t. I'm not after stainless steal, just as long as the tip is stainless.

Iv been around to a few places, and theres been a bit of difference in prices, ranging from about $1200 to $1600.

The cheapest one sounds alright, but the dump pipe has got 2 75 degree angles in it. The most expensive looks far straighter, and actually sits higher than the stock exhaust.

Anyway, am I going to get much better performance out of the most expensive system? Or does it just seem like a bit waste of money?

Thanks

Ash

3" batmbl split dump (see for sale section)

then get any 3" catback system

with a 3" hiflow cat

generally speaking you get what you pay for if its a straighter exaust that sits better than stock were the cheaper has 75deg bends in it? well theres your money rite there in flow properties alone

and the systems siting higher than stock well

i know what id be getting

[mad082]

the price of the exhaust doesn't really have much in common with bends. a lot of cheap exhausts have a more straight flow design. better exhausts will have better sound reducing properties. like one of the apexi or hks ones, or whoever does it, which comes with a built in sound motor. it is an electronic device with a flap in it that can be turned from horizontal to vertical. at horizontal it lets through maximum air flow and noise, as you turn it vertical it reduces airflow, and causes more back pressure which causes more sound to be soaked up by the mufflers. my mate has a full jasma system and it is really quiet, i have a full x-force system and it is loud cause the jasma system has 2 sharp bends just before the rear muffler to quieten it down, whereas mine is more of a straight through system.

where the hell you going for your exhaust pricing? OMG $1600 and its not even stainless steel.. wtf?

ebay yourself a X-Force turbo back.. stainless steel, should be all under $1000... too easy

[Oblivion]

i was going to go a 3" xforce might stilll....but i wanted something bigger....say 3.5"

anyone got any ideas on that as well?

[shanef]

Trust Titanium 3.5" is your friend

[mad082]

then go a x-force 3.5 inch. thats what i got. should be able to get it for about 500-600 for cat back, only has 3" muffler, but you don't need it any bigger. a bit on the noisey side, but no more than most others

[mad082]

x-force also do a titanium 3.5 inch as well.

[Oblivion]

hmm i didnt think that xforce did a 3.5 cat back for the r32 gtst? for the r32 gtr yes...was also wondering if that would fit the gtst.

[mad082]

my bad. need to learn to read. there isn't that much to be gained by going the bigger exhaust on a rb20. just remember that the air is slower after the cat than it is before.

[Oblivion]

heh.....but what if the cat mysteriously dissappeared or just the centre....then would it be a better way?

[mad082]

yeah provided you don't get caught, cause last i heard the fine was a few thousand dollars, but i could be wrong.

[Oblivion]

yeah i know the fine is really high. i wont remove it, i just wanted to know how much difference it would make, or if it would actually make it worse.

[mad082]

would make it a bit better, but don't know if it would be noticable. don't know anyone who has done it so i don't really know.

they have full turbo back x-force system for under $1000

[Oblivion]

hmm...dont want turbo back cause i want to get a split dump....dont know if a cat back from them will match up with a split dump yet...got to find out.

ta for info

[mad082]

and that appears to be stainless for $980

[mad082]

any dump pipe will match with another unless it is custom made. you can put a dump pipe onto a stock exhaust if you want. they all make them to bolt in the factory positions.

If your in sydney area... drop into Liverpool Exhausts on Seaton rd in Moorebank and they can show you dyno proof of their R33 GTST split-dump, Hi-Flow CAT and 3" Cat back set up... and their price as well as workmanship are EXCELLENT! i can vouch for them... Ask for Jimmy and tell him Sarkis with the silver R33 sent you.. you will get few $$$ discount...

Cheers
