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.

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!

Andrew at AM also does great work, both great blokes in the industry that will give u a good exhaust, but marky has been helping me for years.

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

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.

    • Hey guys any recommendations for fitment for a stock 94 GTR R32  Want to order work meister s1 3p and would like a nice looking flush fitment. Plan to get MCA coilovers to set ride height etc. Just confused on offset, brake clearance etc.  Never purchased after market wheels so I'm a bit concerned since it's a long wait to order and I don't want to order the wrong specs. 
    • Update: Done: -Running on 6 cylinders, one injector was gummed up. I made an injector tapper, bit of Teflon on the end of a metal rod.  That fixed the injector. Need to replace one injector plug, the fastener is broken. -Coolant bleed -Fixed 4WD warning light, bleed 4wd system -Fixed electrical problems: alarm, brake lights, various broken plugs  -Got all the parts ready to connect head drain. Head drain is fitted with a blocker atm Todo: -Fuel pump dead, Been cleaning out the tank, had a lot of tobacco looking stuff, think its OEM foam. Got a Walbro 460 to put in. Probably going to add a relay to give the pump a solid 13volts. Replacing all the fuel hoses, in tank etc. -Front drive shafts still not back on. Waiting on parts. Would like to buy some new ones, but probably going to patch these up for now -Replacing gas struts on back door. Waiting to be returned -Headlights need a polish/repair -Going to touch up the paint a little. -Clean up the interior -Connect up heater plumbing -Cosmetic stuff, powder coat replace rusty parts, replace rusty bolts, wiper blades, silicon missing rubber -A million other things
    • Don't do this unless it never gets hot where you are.
    • Upgrade time. Been a long time coming, but I was able to get my GTR to a reputable builder in the States. List of upgrade parts below: RB30 (Sourced from Australia) PRP RB30 timing belt kit with all options Nitto pistons Nitto I beam rods Nitto oil pump King engine bearings New RB26 Head (Grabbed during Heritage run) Kelford 272 cams mild lift Supertech intake and exhaust valves over sized Nitto Head gasket Greddy Oil Pan Sump GKtech fan blade and adapter Koyo Radiator Borg Warner S362 SXE 6boost turbo manifold T4 divided  Turbosmart wastegate Pro-gate 50 lite ID1340x injectors Radium external surge tank Walbro 450 fuel pumps x2   All Parts in hand and awaiting my turn in line at the shop!
