got quoted today for 2.5inch custom exhaust 850 installed at western mufflers. mild steel excluding extractors.

might get those coby ones from partsco.

anywho went to BEL and got quoted close to 1700 for the following

coby extractors $360 (get this myself)

bigger cat $440

HKS 409 (forget the name) exhaust 900 bucks

which should i go with?

will the custom setup give me the same performance gains as the HKS?

How big is the HKS 409?? what size piping

i tihnk its HKS 409 Hi power or something like that.

I reckon the custom exhaust unless your willing to put up twice that amount and go 1700.

but im not sure how good the hks hi power is.

thanks guys,

yeah its the hi-power silent one i think.

2.5"

the guy at BEL said they would need to cut off 6 inches though becuase it is an N/A

think i might go with the HKS one, bigger cat and get the extractors myself.

installation by myself probably.

$440 sounds a bit expensive for the cat - should be able to do better than that if you look around

Definitely fit it yourself, it's not hard if you have the right tools (basically just a good socket set and something to raise the car eg ramps/jack).

I have r33 GTS4 n/a. with standard exhaust. I really wanna just put a canon muffler.

1. Got quoted $280 for Canon muffler + Instalation (Muffler is some cheap brand I guess?) is this price is right?

2. How loud will it be when I put this muffler? does it depends on how big it is? like 3" tip and 4" tip?

****I had a cat back exhaust system before 3.5" pipe and 4.5" tim canon muffler, went back to standerd as it was loosing power due to lack of back pressure. But now I need little bit nice beat in the car, not too loud, thats why I wanna put a reasonable cannon muffler (my cat back exuast system is for sale by the way http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...8#entry3582368)

1. Got quoted $280 for Canon muffler + Instalation (Muffler is some cheap brand I guess?) is this price is right?

the price is right if you are happy with the product, it's impossible for anyone else to judge without having a look at it. best you go to whoever is supplying you with it and inspect for yourself.

2. How loud will it be when I put this muffler? does it depends on how big it is? like 3" tip and 4" tip?

this is your typical "how long is a piece of string?" question. loudness will depend on what other components you have, the quality and material used in those other components and the cannon. mild steel? stainless steel? titanium? etc.

tip size does have some affect on how loud it is. as a very general rule of thumb, the bigger the tip the louder.

okay,

theres a group buy $155 high flow xforce cat.

650 bucks for 2.5inch mild steel exhaust (custom)

might pick up second hand extractors.

cheers guys:)

saw a guy selling 2nd hand coby's for $300 in the for sale section.

keep us posted and when you get a video clip, post it in the sound thread

eug

Finally got it all done yesterday!

and im happy with the results

the car pulls alot better through the rev range and i get more out of each gear.

as i went from mild steel to stainless cat back the car has a much nicer growl. before it just sort of droned then droned some more.

the car is alot more responsive which makes driving it a lot more fun!

the extractors smoked some what but because i had the wrapping and high temp paint on them the coby paint didnt come off..

ill put a sound clip up when i can be bothered..

end of the story.. im happy :)
