custom vs brand exhaust

[3R1K]

Hi,

I'd like to get an exhaust but I don't know which one should I get either custom or branded.

Advice is needed

Thanx

depends on how deep is your pocket really....

gains from a jap-branded exhaust and a well-crafted local product is negligible.

only thing i found that made me favour the japanese-branded exhaust systems are their quality of their mufflers....best if you can get a jap muffler and get the rest of the piping work done here...

not sure what floats your boat, N1 'cannon' style? You want it loud? Or quiet...

personally i would go for anything Fujitsubo:D

[zaero]

Fujitsubo sounds great but where do you get them from??

I've been trying to find em in Sydney with no luck

[pushead]

talk to CR34TION, he has one for sale

[RbHed]

jap exhuast will bolt straight in but they hang low..

custom exhaust will fit better, closer to the underbody

jap mufflers do seem to be of better quality

[Nizman]

I had a custom exhaust done, and they guy cut the exhaust temp wire, so the ecu thought by exhaust temp was 6000 deg and shut the engine down after 4 mins. Just be carefull who you choose to fit your jap zorst or make your custom one.

Cannon style exhausts seem to attract much more attention.

Personally, i'd go no-name generic oval style if i couldn't find a second hand name brand in good condition...

Oh, and go for a custom dump pipe withwastegatepipe that taps back into main pipe after 150mm. (better flow at max boost)

ask rezz what he can get ... cheap jap good exhausts

[3R1K]

Lol, I confuse now, so it's better to get jap muffler and get the rest custom?

[AeroGrace]

there's no definate right or wrong answer dude.

just go for the best money for value deal you can find.(No dodgy fart-cans please)

[3R1K]

Best money? so you are saying that I should go with brand cat back?

[rob77]

Quite simply work out how much money you have to spend and then go buy whatever you can get.

dont forget that if you decide to get custom from muffler back, it still will be loud. You will need a resonator as most jap branded cat back zorst has a resonator in them

icic thanx

icic thanx

just as long as the muffler doesn't have 'Milo' or Nescafe' written on the sides:bahaha:

lol, I'm going for a cheapo exhaust system; new front dumpy, hi-flow cat, and exhaust shop is making the rest up for $300 all up - which I think is pretty good! I'd rather go for flow rather than noise/looks, I hate cops hassling me...

[3R1K]

lol, cat+muffler+front and dump for 300 only? so cheap where is it?

good quality?

[Nismodified]

get the best you can afford. With a locally made exhuast, you are relying on someones experience to build you an exhuast, where as in a Jap 'off the shelf' item, they spent the money on RnD to develop a good exhaust, and you will feel it in your wallet.

I dont think a Jap cat back is too expensive at all, i wouldnt mind getting the rest of the exhaust made locally.
