Exhaust Shop Recommendation.

Hey Guys,

I just had my exhaust quietened down a bit - no EPA notice but it was probably only a matter of time. I had a lot of droning in the cabin and a very annoying resonance particularly at 100kmh! Even between 90-110k really.

If you want a resonator or system made up so that its fairly quiet [legal] but flows very, very well - go down to Mufflers Now in Oakleigh [1611 Dandenong Road, near FTG road] and talk to Matt. Phone is 9563-1166

I had some custom piping made up by Matt and a different muffler fitted [still kakimoto ;-)]. These guys know skylines and turbo cars very well. A very professional job indeed and for a nice price!

On the other hand if you have a stock exhaust, these guys can make up a system so that it increases performance and sounds great. They are also starting to do Front pipes and the price is approx. $220 fitted for 3inch mandrel S/steel piping - I will be getting one of these very soon.

Matt at Mufflers Now used to work at DAALDER exh. in Box Hill, quite a few people know him from there and he is the guy patenting his own resonator design [which is gauranteed to be 90db and still flows nicely] and specialises in Turbo cars [inc skylines / vl's etc].

Cheers,

Dale.

Exactly the same person who did my Skyline. Matt from Daadler Exhaust in BoxHill. I recommended his "Special Resonator" and have had it installed in my car. It use to drone sooo bad. Now fitted with his "Special Resonator" it has quieten down.. 90db for me! hehe.

Your post may confuse people Pushead - YES it is the same Matt but NO he is not at DAALDER boxhill anymore - he is running his own shop now

Thanks.

I can vouch for Matt too! He also built/fitted my exhaust system with his 'special' resonator, which EPA'd at 87db - Fantastic !!!

My ride, being an auto, would have a lot more drone with any other 3" system, but Matt's one is VERY quiet around the 100Kph mark & up. At least my gf doesn't complain about getting headaches in my car anymore.

I fully recommend his work to anyone who wants a nice flowing system, with none of the drone !

Cheers,

C.

ahhh nismoR34 im very glad u posted where matt is now. coz i just went to daalder the other week to find that he was "no longer with them". i'll give him a buzz to do my catback. cheers.

[NismoR34]

No probs.

[pushead]

i thought he owned the boxhill one as well?

[NismoR34]

I am not sure mate but he did say that he was "NOW" at the new place and to let everyone know he has moved - so even if he owns both, which I am not sure of, he is personally only at Mufflers Now in Oakleigh!

[_turtle_]

nar he doesn't own the boxhill store. they don't even want to mention him there. so i'm pretty he left them to open up his new store. just a bit of a pain in the ass to drive to oakleigh now. but he always gives me good prices so i'll just go and see what this new place is like.

yeah matt is a great bloke but he screwed me around with my r34 front pipe that's why i ended up getting the Blitz one.

anyways, not sure if has r34 parts now.. i had been chasing him for months.

anyways, my genuine blitz s/s front pipe is still for sale offer standing @$250, if he can't get his hands on r34 parts.

[NismoR34]

I would be surprised if he did screw you around Sid. Do you mean he couldnt get the parts you wanted? Or couldnt make them? Or said he would do something and didnt? Please let me know what happened as I am keen to know myself.

Saying he is a great bloke but screwed you around in the same sentence doesnt really make much sense to me.

I know Matt is working on doing R34 Front / Dump pipes, but like many Exhaust places in the country there is just not enough demand out there and the knowledge of our cars is thus limited for them to know how do it. He already has the front pipe for 32/33/34 afaik but just not the dump pipe off the turbo...for 34...yet!

And for people with 33's "exhaust pipes, mufflers, dumps, fronts etc dont always fit on to 34's. Along with a lot of other parts. Otherwise we would be using them already

Whats this "Special Resonator"? Also whats he ruffly charge for a Full turbo back exhaust (no cat).Im looking at getting a exhaust asap.

[NismoR34]

Give them a call [9563-1166] - I didnt ask about prices for a full turbo back but they can do it.

The resonator is designed by Matt, I believe its like a spiral design that helps the air flow but keeps the turbulent noise to a minimum. Approx $200-220 fitted.

went in there the other day and booked the car in for tomorrow. i'll let every know how it goes as i dunno how good a job his new staff do. im just gonna get the catback done.

nismor34, he said that ur missus also has a r34 as well? lucky bugger u r

[NismoR34]

I will going back very soon to discuss a dump / front pipe, did you ask Matt about these _turtle_ ?

[_turtle_]

Just came back from the muffler shop. Matt was sick so he wasnt there. But the worker there, Shane looked after me. Unfortunately he couldn't give me that much of a good price, coz some boss lady was there watching. I got the catback done.

They seem pretty good there and care for the car, did some good welding.

nismoR34, u got a f*cken bargain on the work done with ur car!

[NismoR34]

Matt said he would also look after friends / people that I send down there. I plan on calling him this week [regarding a front pipe] and I will take the issue up with him - unless you got a good price and you are happy? So let me know, via PM if you want.
