im currently looking round for an exhaust for my stock r33 gtst.

havent got any modifications to it, im just about to start them.

first would be the exhaust, which brings me to ask you guys,

are the exhausts they sell at autobarn for the r33 gtst any good? im asking this cos i get autobarn items dirt cheap. would like to get value for my money.

this is not the muffler, it is an actual exhaust, however i dont know if it is from turbo back, or etc.

recommendations???

ta guys.

(next step is probably an intercooler in case anyone needs to know etc)

really depends what you are after, loud and "look at me" or bit more timid? dump and 3 inch front pipe, plus hi-flow cat are a must then from there back depends on how loud you want it. What brand is the autobarn stuff?

get any 3" cat back exhaust to suit a skyline then get yourself a BATMBL (bos importing) 3" split dump/frontpipe to match up with the 3" catback system

your local exhaust shop should be able to do you a decent 3" catback system with good flow for around $800 fitted

Yes those DRIFT branded autobarn exhaust are good value, far better that your local exhaust shop jobbie... they come with lifetime warranty etc...

i would not be happy to have the name plastered all over the car if i thought it was shit.

Autobarn can get all the major exhaust's that you would be able to get. Trust, Blitz, HKS (though the HKS ones are a bit hard to get now), Drift, X-Force etc. So it's not so much "Are autobarn exhausts any good" its wether the particular branded exhaust is any good.

thanks for the replies, i wasnt too sure what kind of exhausts they offer, but now seeing everyones replies, got an idea of what they may have now.

might be going for a trust exhaust, maybe hks if i can find them. which brands do u think would offer best performance?

BLITZ nur-r ($1000ish) is the nest performer, the GREDDY PEII ($799) is nice and quiet round town yet opens up under full noise the HKS is just stupid price wise locally so i would forget it.

these prices were accurate when i set them at autobarn head office proir to resigning in december.

Hey guys, sorry for the minor hijack, but BATMBL isn't selling the dump/front pipes at the moment (supplier issues), so what would you guys recommend looking at next? I've looked at the JJR's split dumps, are they any good, and what's the diff b/w a split dump and a single? haha too many questions :thumbsup:

Split dump seperates the exhaust gases from the internal wastgate and joins it up near the end of the dump pipe. Should increase spool up and make more power.

All in one, or also called a bellmouth dump pipe, doesn't do this and all the gases just go through the same pipe.

go for a one peice front/dump pipe, its a bellmouth, spools up quicker, and when connected to a decent exhaust

system, they sound great, i picked my mild steel 1 peice up from a local sa supplier for $375.

Did you guys basically say the opposite of each other :D or am i reading it wrong? LOL

On a stock turbo the split dump pipes are better, they are ment to make more power. However on most aftermarket turbos the split dumps cause overboosting problems (mine did) and most people then go a bellmouth style dump.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
