Exhausts

[Style32]

3.5" turbo back, quiet as a mouse.....

If you are after an exhaust that will last the longest then stainless steel is the best as mild steel will rust after a while due to the condensation in the exhaust.

The best way to go is to go and see an exhaust shop. I have seen a few good results from City exhaust, and Roadway and they are cheap compared to one quote from a certain "EXHAUST shop" in mitchell(which we wont name. Wink") which was over double the price of every other shop.

Tell them that you want it to be legal noise DB and the best flowing and they will be able to make one for your purpose(make sure you get it in writing that it is within specs and that way if you get pulled over and fined you can put it back on them to fix it.

By law you can not have any adjustable devices on your exhaust like butterfly's or adj tips so steer clear if you want it legal.

For catylytic convertors go for a metal substrate style as they will last the longest and flow the best use one that is the same size

as your exhaust or larger and for sizing of the exhaust go for 3 1/2" and make sure the pipe straight of the turbo flares up from the turbo size directly into the size exhaust you are getting as once the exhaust gas leaves the turbo it cools very rapidly and the gas expands, in doing so the gas slows down in speed so by going bigger it will keep the air speed up.

Hope this helps

What kind of prices would i be looking at for a basic no-name, stainless steel, straight 3.5" catback exhaust from an exhaust shop and how much is the difference in price between name brands and no-name brands, is the markup on name brands (HKS, Trust etc) similar to markups on shoes and clothes (paying for the name)? Also is there any real performance/quality difference in the two?

[widebody32]

You will usually pay more for the name brands as they are made for Jap market so they are a direct fit due to most people want to fit them themselves because workshops are very dear on labour. Most good exhaust shops can make an exhaust to make the same power and last as long as the name brand stuff and you will probably pay between $600 and $1000 depending on what material you use and what cat

Hey Guys,

Sorry for bringing up an old thread again but had a few questions that related to this.

Im looking at a Trust PE2 for my (mostly stock,) r33 GTS-T and was wondering:

a) what do people that currently run a pe2 think?... is the sound ok? ie not droning whole time

b) anyone live over the border (QBN) have trouble with rego?

cheers

No idea on the actual exhaust, but you should be right if you haven't got a PFC/Boost Controller, reasonably sized wheels and the stock airbox on it.

Jayce lives that side of the border, so he might be able to clarify a bit better.

[LTSJayce]

Just make sure it passes for noise,AND get it engineered if you're concerned about being yanked at a later date. Check the lowest point is higher than 100mm off the ground(any parts on the car really,but a new exhaust is easy to have this go wrong)-the NSW boys are big on anything lower than legal...

[FAITH R33]

dont know if you still wanted info on a exuast system but im just letting you know that the boys a trojan just got the trust kits in and there on special for this month they are awsome to deal with and i have nothing but good things to say so you might wanna give it a look.

kind regards Peter

Have a PEII on a BNR32, very quiet no drone, many long distance interstate trips. Almost too quiet though, doesn't have that scream up top.

Cheers

[GT-R32]

My plan is Power FC and cat back without the boost resticter (already gone). I was going to go Trust PEII I think it is, cause it is quiet. However I really don't want a cannon, I would much prefer the stock look of simple twin pipes. Aside from the $1100 stainless exhaust from Unique I think it is, does anyone have any suggestions? My criteria is little drone, decent flow and not much over the limit and of course no cannons preferably

ETA: Not that I dislike the look of cannons (certainly not the case - quite the opposite on the right cars), just prefer to be as subtle as possible for attention reasons

Yep still in the market for an exhaust but still not able to decide between HKS HP and the Trust PEII, could someone possibly record what their PEII sounds like on idle and higher rpm, could only find 1 clip of it on youtube while the HKS high power has a fair few.

PEII on 34 GTT -

HKS HP on 33 GTST -

HKS HP on 34 GTT (flame ) -

HKS 34 GTT High Power silent -

Any comments on the sounds of both? Would the HKS be over the legal dB limits? Swaying towards the HKS but all depends on legality, cant really afford a defect

Also Faith R33, what are trojan charging for the trust kits without installation

[GT-R32]

I think Trojan may be charging $880 for both fitted at the moment... not sure. The HKS one is quite a bit louder I have been told, not legal. The Trust one would probably not be legal but closer to the mark.

I think I am going to buy recce's XForce and have a system made up using that. Will come out cheap in mild steel, now to find a good resonator...

[Baconer]

hmm 880 including fitted is pretty good, most places are charging $800-900 for the product alone. So the HKS is definitely not legal while the trust is might be. Any idea how long the special is on for, might have to give them a call

[GT-R32]

Yeah give em a call. Certainly don't take my word as gospel though That is cheap so big chance I may be wrong! It is a special though.

Bakes (Baconer), send me a PM with your mob number.. my internet is screwing around and not letting me post messages

[Baconer]

bakes, haha

pm sent

[R33_ACT]

Just Japs have got JJR system at a pretty good price maybe worth a look

[S T A R 3 3]

Bakes, you been getting my SMS'? Are you ignoring me? Is it me? Why? I can change..!

I've been offered an HKS dual exhaust (apprently hard to find) for $800... that's all the specs that I got off the guy. It's possibly/most likely used. Would there be a difference in performance between the 4" HKS that Trojan are offering for $949 (fitted)?

[Baconer]

haha

havent had one sms from you, pm me the number i sent you i might of mistyped it :X

[S T A R 3 3]

Hey dude.. when are u planning on getting the exhaust?

I'm sorry to say that I'm going to have postpone the exhaust for now as I've just spent around $1000 on coil packs. *sigh*
