Hey i am looking to buy a new exhaust for my R31 Skyline and i want it to sound really good.

Would anyone be able to recommend a size of exhaust and brands and to go for a cannon or something else.

how much you wanna spend. personally, i reccommend andrew at AM performance (and so do most people here), that man cannot do a thing wrong. his work is quality.

also what motor do you have in it?

as an example, i have a rb20 with a 3inch system and a HKS super dragger cannon, it sounds really nice, if a little quiet. (ps its hard to make most RB's sound bad)

I think you'll find a custom stainless exhaust to be made up turbo back will be a pricey event, but you pay that if you want something custom.

Rampage exhausts did all the work on a friends RB30DET drag car exhaust, and his work looks great and sounds insane. Give em' a buzz mate.

IIRC it's $350ish for a standard front/dump pipe. Hardly what I'd call unreasonable. What did he quote you and what was it for?

True, and you'll pay a lot more for the CES Racing dump and I wouldn't risk any of the others which are cheap china shit!

If you have an RB30e, go a 2.25 or 2.5 inch exhaust. Retains back pressure, and sounds nice.

3" systems are mainly for turbo cars, or high powered N/A cars.

Definatly see Mark at Exhaust Tech, the 2.5 JUN BL cat back on mine is great, and has good customer service too. I had a problem with the exhaust bracket falling off, buzzed down there,and was out of there within 10 minutes.

ive used popular exhaust store before. i wont be going back. while it at the very least sounded alright, it was press bent, poorly made, and i was charged top dollar for it, for the money, andrew wouldve been a much better choice.

that dump cost $350. f**king good value.

from popular exhaust store, similiar money will get you some shitty mild steel bell mouth.

in summary, am performance > *

....his customer service is next to none.....

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
