I would recommend you get the exhaust from CES Racing. They are fully Australian made and shipped all over the world Fully bolt on. Also the guy the came up with this twin dump pipe design so to increase flow by putting the waste gate in separate and boy does it work and the wastgate sound is perfect and legal unlike those stupid screamer crap.

I bought mine from Trevor and was the best upgrade and sound. Better the any china junk and will kick most big name brands.

LINK TO CES RACING

Specs:

3" NISSAN R34 GTT

$1850 MILD STEEL BASE COST

$2250 STAINLESS STEEL UPGRADE

+ 3”TURBO TWIN DUMP PIPE- MILD STEEL (PAINTED)

+ 3” HI FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER FULLY FLANGED

+ 3” CENTRE SECTION WITH OVAL RESONATOR

+ 3” TWIN TIPPED POLISHED S.S. OVAL REAR MUFFLER

+ SILVER CERAMIC COATED TWIN DUMP PIPE EXTRA

+ PRICING CHOICES AVAIL. M.S. OR S.S. PIPEWORK

+ POWER PICK UP 40 KW @THE WHEELS

+ 2 DOOR & 4 DOOR MODELS

40Kw at the wheels is good power for just the exhaust and no cheap system will get this power. The system is legal db also and you can have a cannon or stock look.

Through in a K&N panel filter in you stock air box, front mount, good electric boost controller and a good dyno tune and you should see around 200 Kw at the wheels.

You are changing the way the car breathes so make sure you get the dyno tune to check air fuel and get the best out of the car with or without the boost controller.

Just my two cents, let us know what ya do and how you go.

For us to help choose the right exhaust you need to let us know your plans for the car. Will you stop at fmic and front mount? What is your budget?

The CES Racing exhaust above is certainly very good but quite pricey and I think not always necessary on stock turbo. Tell us more about your plans for the car and we can help you out.

personally i'd just be going something like a x-force full turbo back exhaust (or the just jap one, which is the same thing). at the end of the day, as far as the catback part of it is concerned there is a limit to how much difference in flow there will be between different exhausts. all that you will get from more expensive systems is a slightly quieter car as they use better mufflers. sure the more expensive systems may have slightly better cat converters and dump pipes, but they will also set you back close to $1000 more, and for that sort of money you could get a nistune installed and make up the difference in power and a fair bit more i'd say. if you are planning on going for big power down the track then you could go for the better system to start with, but then if doing that i'd go for a 3.5" system instead of a 3" system.

Hey sorry for the late reply!!

Im not doing a whole heap to it, just the basics for now, so pod filter,fmic,exhaust,boost controller and any other basic things.

I did look at a stainless steel turbo back exhaust from xforce delivered for $1400 which so far is pretty good, my budget will be roughly 5 to 6 grand so im leaning towards the xforce at the moment!

I'd love to see CES vs xforce on stock cars, i strongly recomend even just the twin dump pipe and another exhaust at least, that xforce dump pipe one will be restrictive and create turbulence.. The results speak for themselves from ces., better design = more power..

Just my two cents

p.s. don't wast your time on a pod.. You will just attract the police when they lift the bonnet and there is no gain over a K&N panel.

QUESTION: What has the car got for an exhaust at the moment. if it is cat back (like most that come to AUS) just put a twin dump pipe and highflow cat for about $700, K&N Panel and tune should see about 185kw at the wheels.

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.

      Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90°s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.

      Just a heads up. Mine has just failed. When i turn the car on it just reboots everytime then the word "Android" shows up then goes to a black screen. I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 😭

      Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future.
