R32 Gts-t

[bg11]

Hey Guys,

Basically im looking to buy a cat back exhaust system for my R32 gtst. Now the guy i bought the car from (dealer) has said that they can make one custom for the car basically for half the price of buying one from say RHD japan. It wont be in stainless steel but he seems to think that exhausts dont rust anymore due to better fuel etc so no need to SS. Now the exhaust that i was looking at buying is a HKS Hi Power Silent.

Oh and the guy has been helpful all the way thru buying and has been looking after me so i dont think he's trying to pull my leg or screw me over.

So my question is this. Is a HKS H-P-S going to be that much better in terms of performance and sound than a custom built one? Pro's cons?

Cheers

I gaurantee his "half the price" will work out to be the same, if not more than a local off the shelf catback from some one like X-Force or similar. What price did he say?

There are plenty of options available if cost is a concern rather than going to one of the most expensive makers, HKS.

As above... Just get something local (SAU Traders are a good start).

Or just get a Jap one 2nd hand from the For Sale area, always exhausts of various types up for sale and well... an exhaust is just metal

Long as it's not majorly dinged and the mufflers are intact that's about all you need to worry about

the hks hipower are beautiful mate, awesome sound and not too loud, looks great under the car. they are also mild steel tho, fyi

im in agreeance with the above comments, something local will be good. Xforce, despite being made in china and almost noname, are excellent. Ive personally seen alot of cars with prefab xforce systems that fit, and sound great.

a custom job can turn out great if you go to the right place, but it will end up costing you more than an xforce or JJR (if ur not worried bout how loud it is JJR arent too bad)

remember to use a good quality cat tho, GL

Ok so custom can be good if i make sure its done right. If i was to go the custom what should i ask for? Like a high flow cat etc etc. I dont really want it to be too loud im more of a quiet growl kinda guy haha. Is there anything i should specify in the build to maximise performance or noise/note?

Looks like ill have to have a look around at some local SAU dealers as well.

Cheers guys
