Hey,

I currently have a 'Hks Silent, Hi-powered' cat-back exhaust system. I was reading an old thread about Wilch doing up his car and people were suggesting extending the exhaust first, from the turbo back.

I've been wanting to do this for a while, however, i don't know a lot about exhausts. What would be best to get done? I love the sound of this exhaust at the moment, but would love for it to improve and increase the power a bit also, ready for future modifications.

Also, where to get it done?

It's a '98 R33 S2.

All suggestions will be appreciated.

Cas.

I've had 2 exhausts (on 2 separate turbo nissans) installed at AAA exhausts down at richmond and am pretty happy with their work. I'm no expert though, I just know they're priced reasonably and my exhaust sounds nice. (3" stainless, hi-flow cat, 2 mufflers) ;)

Look in the for sale section, people are always selling dump/front pipes and you will save alot of money buying one 2nd hand then buying one new, as for the cat if you don't have a highflow one try the Just Jap high flow cat there like $160 delivered for sau member and alot of people from here have used them on there cars and said they work perfectly.

But if you want something made up you can't go past Exhaust Technology on goodwood road hes a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and his work is top notch.

i live the next road over from deacon avenue (AAA Exhausts)

they do a bang up job. All the mechanics in the are reccomend highly. I was in there the other day and they quoted me $50 for a cat back install. $1400 for a complete stainless 3" system (from the turbo) so their prices a reasonable.

Definately keep them in mind.

$1400 is reasonable? :glare:

marky at ET did my custom twin flute junBL system for a touch under $900, $250 for front/dump pipe and used a gutted out stock cat. thats using JunBL stuff which is very pricey, the lukey system was around the $600 mark for catback.

all in all, AAA know how to make systems, only reason i would pick marky to do it is he's had tonnes of experience with imports and knows what exhaust goes with what the best, he gets all his bends and piping from AAA anyway so u are paying a premium, but still, they do good work down there.

Go split dump & front pipe (>single 3" dump/front pipe). There's plenty off the shelf items & for value for money - hard to go by something like the -> Just Japs item. Also, recommend Metal or Catco's barrell type cat as they'd still be the highest legal flowing ones around.

I thought $1400 sounded just a little too much myself.

$1400 was a good price installed without haggeling them down. The bloke did say come in when im ready and they will do a deal.

Id probably just get something off Justjap and get AAA or my local mechanic to fit it for me (give it a crack myself first though)

exhausts are easy as piss to put in if uve got the patience and can be screwed getting under a car, ive changed a few without even jacks, and considering my car is lowered its not fun, but considering its saving urself $100, its worth it.

a jack then would have helped and you still would have saved 100 dollars. EDIT: and 3 hours lol.

    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
