Hey Guys

I posted this in forced induction performance a few days ago and then realised for such a Perth-centric question, it was probably a dumb idea. Thanks Mr.Keets for your response though - I will certainly look into it.

I recently bought a SII R33 GTS25t and yeah, I'm loving it! But I'm starting to get used to it now and I want more!

I was wondering where you guys have gone to get your exhaust systems, what expereriences you've had (good/bad) and how much it set you back? As the subject says I'm after a 3" Turbo Back system, but as I'd like to build a sleeper, I'd like it to look reasonably stock and not be too loud. My aim (eventually) is to surprise the hell out of that feller with the blue and white R33 and LED tail lights in my bog standard looking crate.

Cheers guys

Iain

P.S. Blue and white R33 guy if you're part of the SAU crew; what have you got under there? It sounds... interesting :)

go to performance/exhaust workshops such as Briffa Engineering (top work), hyperdrive, evo-r, xspeed, ovaboost, or top racing...

i bought a dump second hand for 150 and got a catback ( *cough* no cat ) system welded up in mandrel bends and shit to a muffler

all in all my exhuast system i paid $430

Hey, thanks for that. I like your car btw. 324 rwkw, how'd you arrive at that? And from the little bit I can see in your sig, your rims look sweet too.

thats RWHP not rwkw, i was shocked @ reading 324rwkw aka 420rwhp by 3100rpm (thats nutz)

most places would do it for about a grand give or take 1 or 2 hundred

depending on brand also etc

but yeh most places that alpinestars mentioned are fairly well known

(did briffa engineering do your exhaust?)

Ha ha, yes mate you're quite right. I did sort of half wonder. My mate's 32R makes 300 kw at the wheels and he's pretty much reached the end of the road as far as mods go. So I was thinking shit, this guy drives the same car as me and is making more?! There must be something pretty special under there!

Not that 324 HP is anything to sneeze at!

    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though
