Flutes on drift cars, cannons for track and street cars.

This man speaketh the truth!

Anything's gotta be better than the vacuum cleaner on there now. Concentrate on getting it to flow well before worrying about what it looks like :(

Hahaha so true, Chef. It's gradually getting worse, too!! I don't think I have anything left inside the cat as it's all burnt up!

And the rattling is gradually getting worse!

Collapsed centre muffler + centre baffle + dodgy cat = :D

Booking it in to get a full turbo-back system in early December!

I personally think cannons look best on the 32 GT-Rs aslong as they arent too big or ricey.

Dump pipes (if you mean the muffler with the downturned tip) look phat aswell..., thats the plan for my DR when im back from China next year ;)

flutes are nice, but bit overdone these days, for the track i run just a single 3" pipe out the back, looks great. only reason i still run the flutes are that they have the JunBL muffler with them and i cant really be f**ked changing the tips.

Dragging up an old thread, was wondering if anyone knew of an exhaust shop which could knock me up some flutes? I've been looking everywhere, and the local Carline reckons he couldn't be able to make something with a 3" flange diverging into flutes.

I'm surprised at a lot of the responses ITT, I think that single cannons are overdone and boring, Super Drager type gas bottles are only good for getting a RWC and normal mufflers with tips just don't suit. I do however like the twin catback / cannon thing, I imagine it would be the most expensive exhaust option though.

I've only seen one car with flutes around here and I reckon they look awesome on JDM cars, not neccessarily just drift cops! I've attached a pic of my current straight pipe exhaust, was thinking of putting them on at the last flange.

lol why people are still voting i dont know...

But this is in the SA section, so unless your willing to travel, we wont have any half decent ideas :D

AM Performance, Exhaust Technology, Everlast, etc etc etc

well a mate has very similar ones on his HR-31 and they look great on it, only problem is trying to convince him to lend them to me for fear that I wouldn't give them back lol.

I've emailed Exhaust Technologies about the flutes though, otherwise I'd probably go twin 2.5" on an angle, cause straight pipe looks shite!

yeh mark @ et does nice work, mate just had twin 3" pipes put in his by them, look and sound great!

im getting twin 3.5" pipes soonish too... love the look and sound!

i am so thinking of going the flutes now on the line

I had never even seen flutes until today :S i havnt seen 1 at all on the road... screw getting a cannon now

That first pic is a bit excessive of a flute lol

I'll be in the market for an exhaust aswell soon... looking at something twin tip/flute - looks more subtle and clean.. cannons are a wee bit overdone/homo - too many homo cars have them - lancers, excels, shitboxes... etc

haha my shitbox has 1...its louder than my skyline rofl

i am so thinking of going the flutes now on the line

do it!

group buy? :(

haha, hope you don't have a problem with lots of attention though as they are LOUD!! unless you have them coming out of a muffler or have a damper in there somewhere, something similar to x-force varex mufflers.

    • My crystal ball says that when they replaced the pads, they didn't replace all of the brake hardware (could be a missing shim, pin, spring, etc).  Finding a low dust pad should be very easy. Have a google for things like, low dust / soft pad compound / easy on rotors. Your dust primarily comes from the rotors getting eaten up by the pads. 
    • I think old mate is going to continue to hold out for awhile at that price
    • OBD1 is a catch-all term for pre-OBD2 which could have basically any connector design and protocol. I really don't understand this attitude against using data logging for issues that can be multi-causal and subtle. A no-start situation or something like that sure the scan tool does nothing but if it runs like shit it can often be a sensor issue. When a friend of mine reliably had issues with his N54 not able to stay running eventually I narrowed down the issue to a faulty fuel pressure sensor. Only way I could do that was a scan tool to look at the fuel rail pressure and see shadow codes for fuel pressure. Then check against a pressure gauge. Is reflexively firing up the data logger probably a bad habit? I guess, it can encourage people to not listen/observe but on these old OBD1 cars just taking a log really doesn't do anything by itself. You still have to synthesize everything you know and think about what it all means.

    • Yeah saw that video on YouTube. But he got a R grade (repaired) high mileage model and proudly advertised the fact it was super cheap and no doubt with issues. I wouldn't be going the cheap and nasty route.
