Hey all,

im sorting out what type of exhaust system i want for my car.

It has been suggested to me to get a 2.5 inch system as the car is NA.

Im probably gonna get a HKS or Apexi, but im not sure which....

Is there a way to get it done cheaper ?

The full system is to include extractors, highflow cat, and of course the tailpipe with of course a stainless muffler.

Im after a really loud sound when i gun it (as if it just all of a sudden opens a can of woopass and scares the crap outta the drivers near me) ... but when just driving around normally i want it to hum pretty much and i dont mind if its a little loud, but yeah. i think most of you know what i mean.

the whole DEEP, loud and "angry" sorta tone :cheers:

would anyone be able to give me prices on how much a HKS or Apexi system would cost. remeber its for an N/A not a turbs. and does anyone know of a place to get this installed and buy it from.

cheers for any help guys.

yeah i was thinkin of doin that, custom all the way with a big ass muffler. Wasnt sure how the prices would compare but. Id pretty much want the same specs as one of the performance HKS or Apexi systems, just made without the "name price".

anyone know of anyone who can do this and for what price roughly ?

K i had my exhaust on the n/a done a few months back

i got Perth exhaust center to fit a 2.5" magnaflow xforce exhaust with hi flow cat, resonator and 5"tip (stainless steel) and it is pretty damn loud! loud enough 2 turn heads and make ppl in my car ask if its about 2 take off! :) cost bout $600 if i remember

HKS and Apexi exhausts for n/a are harder 2 find i was told

at $600 you will be able to include the extractors and high flow cat well within the $1400 for a name brand one, and the magnaflows sound awesome

especially on a straight 6

go to quick fit in morley and ask pat what he can do

I got mine done at Quick fit, Pat is a legend and so is Aaron.

I got a 2.5" Cat back system, mandrel bent with a 2.5" Genie Stainless Steel muffler angled and also a resonator. Sounds bloody great and goes alot better too. Very happy with the job and the service i got there.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
