A Little Advice


Recommended Posts

I've heard really good things about Fyshwick exhaust but can't go on any personal experience, mine was done in Sydney.

Had my cat done by the Exhaust Shop in Mitchell and they seemed pretty reasonable.

You have a V35, buy a Japanese exhaust off the shelf (Trust, HKS, Tanabe etc.) through someone like Trojan Motorsport - cheaper and better quality than getting one made up. :D

My exhaust was done by Fyshwick Exhaust. The workmanship was great. They also did my intercooler piping, and routed it exactly the way I told them not to...

They said there was no other way to route it. Immediately following that we cut up the piping ourselves and routed it the way I actually wanted it, without changing anything on the car and using no extra piping except for having to buy 1 donut of pipe.

When we mounted the intercooler we left enough room behind it to run the piping through, but the Fyshwick guy ran it under the front of the car (in front of the tow points, probably wouldn't have passed rego) where it would have been smashed the first time I got too close to anything like a kerb. And the pipe was just hanging there with nothing except the joiners to the other pipe sections holding it. After we finished it was a LOT more secure.

Bear in mind this was over 5 years ago, things change, and as I said, the exhaust itself was great.
