a lot of people say that a 3" exhaust system is far too big for a naturally aspirated engine, and swear buy putting a 2 1/2" is buy far the best option.

im interested to hear what systems people are running on there n/a's and there 2 cents on the matter

which do you think is the better choice? 3" or 2 1/2"

Ive got 3 inch with the car

havent driven one with 2.5inch

I get heaps of complements with the silencer out sounds insane, with silencer in it sounds quiet as stock

Performance feels better than standard exhaust aswell i think

g'day james,

this topic has been covered quite extensively throughout the forums. it was proven that you can get away with a 3" system without too much loss of volumetric efficiency on an R34 RB25DE NEO however on an R33 a 2.5" system is considered ideal.

in your case if you are looking for an increase in peak power go 3" and if you're looking for response along with a mild increase 2.5".

have a search throughout the forums and you'll find loads of info supporting those.

yeh thanks guys and girl for ur input on the topic..

i thought the 2.5" was the right way to go...

im just worried about the car being to loud once i get the system fitted. atm i have a 5"canon on it and it sounds like shit (came with the car, i thinking its a no brander).... so wanted something sounding a little meaner.... i was gonna change the canon but as i said worried about the loud deep drone most na's have. and now im thinking of putting a fresh system in it...

r33 na's are stock 2.5" yeh :/ ?

gday buddy,

i just got the exhuast done on my 33 n/a. i was keen on a 3 inch but every place i went to said there was no way they were goin to put one on it, its just too big for a n/a, and lacks pick up somethin shockin.

i went with a 2 1/2 inch, extractors, metal cat, and straight through muffler, the resinator is comin off soon but i think it sounds awesome, has a really mean idle, and all the way through the rev range.

thats just my 2 cents worth any way

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
