Exhaust System

[Yo-Yo]

Hi guys, another comm cheque, another mod

Did a search but not having much luck.

I'm going to buy a cat back system in the next few days & I can't decide which to buy !

I've been trawling through the Nengun site & have rounded it down to the HKS Silent Hi-power & the Blitz Nur Spec R. They are both in the price range I am happy to spend on a cat-back ($800-$850 delivered nengun prices)

I'm looking for people's opinions & personal experiences with either of these systems as far as Exhaust noise (nothing too droney) & overall quality of the system. I'm after real opinions, not just what the manufacturers say on the website

Cheers in advance everyone,

Whoops, stuffed the poll lol. Just treat the "other" option as the HKS exhaust

get a big 3.5inch pipe, weld a flange on the end of it it straight onto the cat's flange, then wack a coahanger around it to hold it up near the diff, and run the pipe out the back

but if ur soft, go the HKS maybe, i dunno, i got nfi about these fancy muffled exhuast systems

CUSTOM. approx 400 for a 3 inch mild steel mandrel bent catback. You choose ur mufflers\look etc. For me this was the best choice, I got to make a high flowing system which was as quiet as possible. At idle it only sounds a tiny tiny bit louder then it did with the 13 y/o standard exhaust system.. Still has a quiet sporty note on boost\when driving etc.

then just your front\dump pipe and high\megaflow cat..

^^agreed, get a good shop to do a custom exhaust, cheaper and better IMO.

Blitz NUR spec R FTW!

from the early votes...its FTL!

I voted for HKS

Got one running in my car, product is really well manufactured, bolt straight on

sounds great, not too noisy/droney

bit of cabin noise also

I came to a similar crossroad when choosing an exhaust. Btw. there r plenty of exhaust threads when u do a search, i know i came up with more than i can poke a stick at bout 9mths ago.

Couple of things, the prices from Nengun, be sure that they include taxes coz i dont think they do. From memory Blitz NUR was round AU$990 + delivery. Secondly i would have to say the decision in the end is pretty much just about the sound/note, an exhaust is an exhaust, they r just pipes. Diffecrence is minimal, probly only in the mufflers, welding n finish.

If i had to buy one new i'd get an X-Force, great value for $, looks n sounds ok, plenty of ppl on here use em n $ u save there can go towards other mods that im sure ull want to make

But if ur not fussed on used gear u can pick up used exhaust here for a good price, i was gonna go with X-Force for my 34 until i saw a used Blitz for less so i got that instead, sent across the country no probs. Great flow, bit drony at certain revs. But out of the 2 u mentioned, i would say that the Blitz would hav a better flow but noisier, HKS would be less drony(bigger mufflers) but not as good a flow.

Ur choice...

HKS Silent High Power FTW, go to the r33 link in my signature if you want a few pics of what the muffler looks like etc etc, awsome build quality and fit with no modifications.

is there a noticable gain to be had with a 3.5" cat back VS a 3" cat back?

[/2on]

ive got a Nur Spec and i love it, if you like silent exhausts def go the hks hi power silent but if you dont mind a awesome sounding loud exhaust the Nur Spec if for you

[Wheezy]

Nur R have a really nice note to them from the cars Ive heard them on....GTR, GTST, Silvia

[gt-t_r34]

dont be weak go the nur spec i have it, its loud! dont get the hks if u want somethiing quiet get pe2 trust, nengun arnt always the cheapest i got my nur spec for 900 in aus from auto barn... and about a month ago the had the another in there even cheaper.

[nizmo_freek]

I would hardly call the HKS Silent High Power quiet.I only have the silent power and a decat pipe and its already pretty loud, it was very quiet when the rest of the exahsut was standard tho, i think i sounded better to, just rember that the r33 silent power uses a bullet shapped center muffler (its tiny as you can see on my pics) and the r34 silent power uses a box shapped center muffler which makes it alot quieter.

Cheers Everyone, Very much appreciated!

lol @ Nisskid, Nothing wrong with being a softie

I had a custom exhaust made up for my R33 when I had it, awesome sound but so F'ckin' droney & annoying on the Freeway at around 100-110+kms.

Looks like I'm steering towards the HKS for the cat-back. Want to keep things low-key
