R32 Exhaust, Any Advice?

[002doc]

Hi guys,

Just after some advice, I have an R32 and am looking to upgrade to a 3 inch turboback soon, any ideas on what is good for a fair price, I wanted to spend under 1000 is possible?

Anyone got ideas?

Cheers

I'm not sure on pricing but one mistake I made is not checking hte part before it was installed.

Make sure you do this!!! Mainly checking for welds and other restrictions.. all welds should either be on the outside or ground back so not to cause any undue turbulance and restriction.

If money is your main concern.........

Blitz has an X-Force Cat Back for sale to suit an R32 then talk to BATMBL about the rest of the system. Should fit in the $1,000 price range.

full turbo back x-force should set you back under $1000.

unique autosports sell the stainless version for $980.

ok mate, this is a really bad question to ask the people here, as everyone is going to rave about their own exhaust, or spit out brand names that cost thousands...

my opinion is that an exhaust, as long as its flow is fine, does not need to have a brand name or anything like that in order to make power.

I think the loudness of an exhaust is related to

- its age

- type of muffler

- presence/absence of resonator/second muffler

Thus... when factoring in price, loudness, and power, i believe the best option is to get a setup that comprises a custom cat-back and cheap dump/front off the forums

So keeping in mind that a "turbo-back" exhaust consists of

- dump pipe

- front pipe

- cat

- cat-back

i reccommend the following:

1) dump/front pipe in one from BATMBL: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=74022

2) 3" cat from BATMBL: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=74022

3) custom 3" mandrel-bent exhaust including new muffler and resonator: see your local exhaust shop and shop around for a few prices...

This should all up cost you less than $1000 and see you a decent increase in the seat-o-the-pants-o-meter

cheers,

I'd just go mild steel from a local exhaust shop.

I paid $600 (without a hi-flow cat), that was a new dump and full 3" mandrel exhaust.

Cheaper than stainless... and realistically, you dont need stainless.

You cant see it, so who cares?

[mad082]

personally i'd go the x-force mild steel from cat back. $699 from justjap (go to your local shop and ask them for a price and if justjap are cheaper then see if they can match or better that price). if you go with the batmbl dump/front pipe and cat you are up to over $600 and still have to get a cat back system, which you won't get for under $200 as it costs about that much just for a decent muffler.
