Hey Kermit

I've got a friend that saw my exhaust and loved it. He owns a WRX and was also looking at getting a cat back, 3" same as the one you put on my R33.

I was wondering if the $550 deal was still going. He still needs to get a muffler and also find out whether adding the exhaust will void his warranty, so he isn't looking at doing it right away, but definately in the near future.

for a basic guide i will do any cat back exhaust in 3" stainless for a maximum of $700 if you supply a muffler. this is mandrel bent and has custom hangers. the $550 deal is finished but the price hasnt gone up too much

kermit

exhaust upgrade will not void any warranty but if in doubt i would suggest calling subaru themselves

I can vouch for his work. Top class!

I would have to agree. Kermit did my exhaust and after seeing it, my friend wants him to do the same to his wrx. Will tell him to give subaru a call and then let you know kermit :thumbsup:

Hey Kermit,

I've heard a few people say good things about your work and I'd like you to take a look at my SII 33 at some stage (next two to three months).

I'm looking to get a full 3" system from the turbo back (Split Dump, Front Pipe, High Flow, Cat back, muffler). I understand I have to supply the muffler, is there anything else I need to supply? Also, just a ballpark figure will do, how much am I looking at (not including the parts I need to supply obviously).

Cheers mate

Top work, had a muffler replaced with straight through pipes on my ute for a better exhaust note and i love it...

Have posted about your work on the XR6 Turbo forum too so you might see some more work from there...

Cheers Kermit.

hey kermit can i get a quote on how much u want for a cat back exaust thats 3.5 inch and also how much to replace a 2.5 inch pipe with a muffler that is already on the system

Cheers

hey chi

lots of people seem to want a 3.5" exhaust when a 3" exhaust will do the job just as well. unless you are planning quite extreme mods then a 3" will suffice . the problem is not the size but the cost of the 3.5 " piping and bends which are 3 times more expensive than 3". my reputation for inexpensive prices comes from not allowing the customer to spend more than what they actually need to yet still giving top notch quality and service . if you insist on 3.5" piping then pm me and i will quote but it is overkill for a custom made system that is a free flowing design .

also you want a muffler put into a system ? just making sure as most people want mufflers removed from their systems. just confirm by pm and i will get back to you.

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
