What's Best Cat Back Haust For Tight Budget!

[subie]

hi guys,

I've got turbo back system on my 32, they came with the car when i bought it.. the problem is..... they are way too loundddd

so, I've got very very tight budget and dont wanna spend big $$$ on the new cat back ..

- what would u recommend? I'm after quiet one and also good for performance

- should i get the new cat as the same time? (old cat look abit small and too old)

cheers

Saying you'd like it quiet and one good for performance isnt narrowing down the requirement, as they're the two apposing attributes every one wants. Slike saying, "im not picky, but with my coil overs, i would like em comfy and smooth, but also tight and controlled through corners" or "want my turbo with no lag, and a blistering top end" and you better belive the setups that ARE close to being perfect... def not cheap.

Depending how tight $ it is, a vaughly decent 3" cat is $180-$300,(and a sick 5" - $500) then just pick your cat back setup. Theres many thread on this, though everyone has a different idea of "loud"

To have the best chance of making the right choice for you, going to a drag night, or track day, or local Fri night cruise, where you can ask ppl bout setups, is the best bet.

i have a jasma exhaust which is very quiet for a 3". can hardly hear it at idle but when you punch it she opens up.

JASMA is a Jap certification, not a manufacture

Have a look around the for sale section and wreckers for a good second hand one, that will satisfy the cheap requirment.

As for quiet, well as above everyone has a different interpretation.

Just go get an entire X-Force exhaust system, chop off the hotdog and get a good mid muffler welded on.

I'm using a St May's 3.5 inch cat back exhaust approved by JASMA, man my car is probably as loud as a stock R32.

Standard

why not keep the exhaust you have and get a workshop to add a good centre muffler or replace the rear cannon with an oval muffler.

I like loud.

Nice and quiet, very well made, and a good performer.

Have a look at this,

haven't used on so couldn't say how well it works

but seems a good idea

Varex Exhaust

thanks for all the inputs guys.. I'm gonna keep the old system and change the rear muffler

cheers

That might not be enough..

you may need a centre muffler aswell still.

Varex Exhaust

He did say budget? and that Varex exhaust restricts flow when on silent mode, same as those exhaust valve controls.

I do believe he wants performance as well as reduction in noise

IMO, good mild steel mandrel bent cat back exhaust with a good mid muffler and a good rear muffler.

JASMA approved ones are usually very quiet and should conform to the Australia db level (which is fcken gay, because stock V8s make more fcken noise than my car and I don't see them with defect stickers, bunch of fcken hyprocrites, I hate the RTA......... sorry about the rant)
