Exhausts, Help Me Choose

[Basti]

looking for an exhust system as my first mod. i own a 95 r33 - a "s1.5". what are people's opinions on getting a trust PE II catback vs a X-force turboback. they are $899 and $950 respectively from justjap. if people could answer the following questions it'd be really helpful:

1. why is the trust system only 50 bux less than the X-force?

2. both are 3 inch so what is the performance difference between them, taking into account that 1 is a turboback

3. how durable/reliable are the 2

4. are they direct bolt on or will i (read the mechanic) hafta stuff around?

5. im looking for sound that is noticably louder than stock but no where near the "look at me, im fully sick" drones and volume levels some cars have. ie. i want it well below legal limits. which is the best fit for this?

6. i had a question six but my brain has just died so yeh...

thanks in advance.

p.s if you guys have sugestions 4 othe systems that fit my needs feel free to lemme know. pricing and where to get them would be nice

1) Trust system is only Catback.. You pay for the name

2) Trust system will be quieter

3) No idea.. althought the trust system is stainless.. so should last a while

4) Yes.. but that doesnt mean there wont be a few swear words and bloody knuckles

5) Get the Trust system (plus dump and high flow cat).. Xforce will be loud.. and pretty much every aftermarket system will be over the legal limit

6) Yer that happens sometimes.. its called a "Brain-Fart"

I've just been thinking the same thing with my exhaust.

I want something that sounds good normally, not droney and overly loud cruising, but great when I open it up.

If you do go with the Trust PE II get it from nengun, much cheaper!

Currently have a tanabe cat back on my R34. Its quiet as when idling and at low revs, and when you put your foot down ya get that sweet sound of the RB Not sure of costings cos it came from japan like that... hope this helps...

I have a HKS super dragger... its a deep sound but not where near as loud as a the common cannon exhaust... but its an 8" barrel and 5" tip LOL massive bastard

if you want quiet and low profile go for the magnaflow... someone on here is currently selling a cat back... nothing special in looks but its quiet and does the job

The which exhaust question gets asked almost on a weekly basis. A search b4 post answers most of ur queries. Get a turboback woteva u can afford to. Here's a post from last week http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=159310

So if $950 is ur budget get the X-Force turboback or buy a split dump, hi-flow cat & used catback, hav a look in For Sale section. Oval mufflers will give u a lesser flow but less noise/drone, round mufflers will give a better flow at the cost of more noise.
