Exhaust Price. Your Thoughts

[l_uk3y]

Hey guys.

During my travels of deciding whether to get wheels or an exhaust first on my 96 gts-t

ive come across an ex display Blitz Nur Spec R 3" stainless CAT back exhaust (cannon with a 2nd muffler further down the pipe. which they said retails for almost $1000. they are offering it to me for $740. Firstly. does this sound reasonable. To complete the exhaust i still need a Cat and the front pipe. The price i was given for a front pipe (new- from a catalogue was $299) (blitz also) (This is all NOT installed)

I guess the main question. Does the Cat back price sound good. as i can worry about completing the exhuast later. 2nd question. being 3" i assume it'll still bolt onto my stock cat until completed later down the track. And lastly and most importantly. I would love to here comments from people who have owned a Blitz exhuast (pref this model, but in general). regarding sounds levels on and off throttle.

As far as doing the whole exhuast at once. I could. but i still need some coilpacks first, so trying to gain power before sorting that out would be pointless unless price is spot on. Not to mention a good set of 18"'s would at least make a standard looking S2 R33 stand out a bit more.

Cheers for your thoughts. Luke

It sounds alright. Best bet for you would be to check this site out - www.nengun.com

Nengun sells parts striaght from japan shipped over. They're not the cheapest you can get, but their price is cheap, so it'll give you an idea.

Thats if they send him the right part

Haha, yeah, that was really bad Dave. They sent the wrong thing, they should accept a refund (postage at their expense both ways).

Well. just got another quote today from a local exhuast shop.

Full exhaust turbo back, mandrel bent including cat, and cannon muffler for $970. sounds good to me. But i think i would rather have a named brand. But i guess an exhaust is an exhaust at the end of the day. I can always change the muffler at the end of the day

What are your thoughts? considering i can get a full exhuast for only a bit more then the blitz catback.

[MANWHORE]

IMO, definitely go the name branded one.

The quality with the exhaust shop one will just not be there. Sure, it's one thing cutting up some bends, welding on bits of straight, bunging on a muffler or two. That'll make the exhaust come out of the back of the car, sure. But will it sound like shit and rust out in 12 months?

Imagine the design work that blitz put into the exhaust - they'renot a one of job, they're designed to be produced in numbers, so more expense can be put into the design. When you look at the exhaust, it looks like a piece of craftsmanship. They look so nice that you don't even want to put it onto your car, because it'll get dirty.

Unless you live in QLD and can get a CES system made up...then again they're more expensive than what you've listed :S

Sound awesome though

[l_uk3y]

yeh thats my main concern being sound and quality. although the full (cheap) system did get

plucked out of their book as a full kit. so its not just a bunch of random bits thrown together but yeh.

its a tough call. but i have to admit. that blitz catback looked pritty horn.
