An exhaust will only flow as much as it's weakest link. In your case your cat might be cactus. Also consider the muffler, it may be a restriction as well.

There is little point to changing parts of your exhaust and leaving restrictive parts in.

Maybe think about investing in a new 3" hiflow cat (buy one from BATMBL in these forums).

My car got here dead stock, it was the same way when it left the factory showroom nothing had been changed. First thing I did was fit a 3.25" exhaust system from the cat back (and I have a shitty 2.5" cat, cheap compliance cat put in) and immediately we gained 15kw @ wheels and the exhaust note changed immensley. The car was much quicker, free-reving and boost jumped a little bit. Its not a huge gain in the scheme of things but its the first thing I would change on any car if I was looking for more power as stock exhausts are made for quiteness not flow.

When you say "flared" do you mean they chopped the ends off and converted it to a 3" cat? Or they just made an adapter for it to fit the 3" exhaust? If it's the latter, then your exhaust is effectively the same size as it was before.

Either way you should probably replace it with a new high flow cat. They can become blocked and restrictive with age.

from the seat of the pants feel.....it doesnt surprise me in the slightest.

same with my front mount i/c, i didnt feel a thing.

same with front pipe and dump pipe....nadda!

but when they all came together with boost and powerfc install and tune...yeah, made a big difference....

i dont' think u can feel like a 10kw diff... like franks said ... do the others and u will feel the difference :D

Sorry the peak gain was 18kw, it went from 97kw to 115kw @ wheels. You can definately feel it because the midrange improvement from fitting a free flowing exhaust is huge. Boost comes on quicker and slightly higher and the car revs out faster I could definately feel the difference.

Not sure as the boost wasnt measured. Probably 1-2 psi... nothing major. stock boost is limited to around 5-6psi so possibly rose to 8psi.

boost is everything man! 0.1bar = 10rwkw or thereabouts :D

a free flowing exhaust will improve gas flow and as a result allow your engine to breathe better and hence run more boost - naturally :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.

      Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
