C.E.S very expensive for what they do.

I went to Rob Bliss for the same job at half the price.

I know what you mean

Trust is a bit of a rip off for turbos as well

so I went to ebay, and got myself turbo, manifold and wastegate for half the price

:blush: That made me laugh!!!!

Yep I've got a CES system, pricey but performs beyond belief, and best of all legal dB

I'm glad I went there, a friend with an R34 tried to do it for cheaper and got all the parts from CES had someone else fit and weld it up and ended in disaster....the car actually ended up going to CES to have them fix up what had been done and tune the length of the exhaust to remove all of the excessive drone.

It's not just a matter of custom welding a bunch of pipes together, there's a lot more on the technical side to getting flow and low noise.

A turbo and an exhaust is a bit different.

Its only my opinion on the decision i made at the time.

Not everyone has to spend thousands of dollars on an exhaust for a daily street car.

Sorry to hijack thread, but I thought it best to post here than start a new one.

I'm getting my exhaust done next week as part of my turbo conversion.

At the moment I'm looking at getting the exhaust done at Right Price Exhaust since it's just down the street from Hi-Power Racing who are doing the conversion.

So far I've heard good things about Right Price, but I just want a second opinion before I go ahead with getting them to do it.

I've been advised that the turbo and JJR front/dump and cat will have to be fitted first and then the exhaust done so to make sure everything fits up right, and as such right price being close by is a logical choice as far as that goes. Is it worth looking at other options?

I've got the JJR Front/Dump pipe, just the cat converter and catback is what I'll need, so won't need a complete turboback made up.

Been quoted $510 for a 3" mandrel bent system with resonator and canon tip, or $590 for the same but with a oval barrel twin tip. Reaonable? Excessive?

Thanks for the tip Dan, I'll take your word for it and go with Right Price, particularly since they've done it before. Didn't you get 2.75" though back then? Should I stick with 3" all the way? Still figuring out whether to go oval barrel twin tip, or a standard canon.

The original exhaust on the other car was all from an R33 and modified to fit, had a funny 30cm hump near the firewall to clear everything...think it was about 2.75" with a round tip.

Yeah get 3" I've currently got a twin tip, it looks stock :)

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
