Now before people say do a search, i did a quick one, and this is more specific.

Hey all

I need a 3" catback to suit a stagea, so going to go custom...

Being a wagon, drone is a major issue, i don't want to be able to hear my exhaust except when i am fanging it, as i like to listen to my music, and the sound of my tires.

So, Here is the first question, based on what most locals stock, what should i go with?

Lukey or Magnaflow

Second,

Who should do it for me?(prefer SE!!!)

Third,

What is a realistic price? HKS Silent Hi-Power is 92db i read, and that is 899 from just jap, so there is a reference point.

But i plan on running one straight through muffler on the rear, and an offset mid-muffler.

The workshop i use reccommend Unique in bayswater, just curious as to where everyone else has gone.

Spoke to a mate(his old man owns AllMaz), his MX6 and their old 'Rod were done by Carnegie exhausts using Magnaflow components, worked out well.

Going to drop in there tomorrow.

Will PM Dave thanx Al.

you also might want to give Ferndale Exhuasts in ferntree gully a call, my only issue is he might not know jap cars THAT well as he mainly does commodores/falcons, i doubt he would have done a Stagea, especially with brand name bits (magnaflow,lukey etc)

I had them do a custom rear section for my silvia, not too loud except when I want it to be, it's great.

did you get the loud or the quiet option, thats what he gave my old man when he did his falcon. The loud seems a little too overkill to me, my old man got the quiet one, seems like a good option for those wanting good noise on WOT

I just asked for 3" section with large muffler, Y piece and twin tips to bolt to the front section of the shitty blitz catback that was on it

It is a quiet system Trav.

I've used them myself for close to 7 years. The only thing they wont do is turbo manifolds as they say all mild steel manifolds crack. They like doing imports and custom systems as it breaks up their days from doing catalogue Falcadores exhaust systems. They can do any type of system, ranging from 2" crush bent, right through to 3" mandrel section stuff. They also work with 4" mandrels as well, as they frequently work on trucks.

Reasonably priced too.

    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
