What do u think?

hey

the other day i made a phone call to CES (Custom exhaust systems) and they told me that an R33 gtst skyline has stock 143kw at the wheels. they than told me that they have an exhaust system worth, $1900 that will give the car dyno proven 180 to 188kw at the wheels, and after that installing a kn or decent air filter, and turning up the boost to around 11 or 12 they can produce up too 200rkw, do u think this is true, because they say they have dyno proven results and if it is than the car would have to be pushing high to medium 13 second times, wouldnt u think? can someone shead some light on this topic becasue im sure if its true than alot of poeple will want their exhaust.

didn't think just adding an exhaust to a car would give that much of an increase in power?

i thought you would need zorst, air filter, boost and tune to get near the 180rwkw figure, everyone that i know (including me) who has the above mentioned mods (note stock dump pipe) are getting around the 175rwkw on 11-12psi.

if its their own dyno, they can make it read whatever they want.

the 1/4 time sounds about right if you had the rest of the gear in good condition ie. tyres, clutch, suspension etc.

still, i wouldn't pay $1900 for an exhaust system thats for sure !!!!!!!!

hey i wouldnt normally, but the exhaust comes with ceramic twin dump pipes, and they r the only copmany in qld that does proper mandrel bends, also i rang another exhaust shop(Lees exhausts) and they cant even do what (CES) can do and reccomended them to me. so if its true and would give such a power increase than it would be money well spent.

if it was 200 fwkw it would be more believable.

Not that this has much reference to you..but, i put an exhaust system on my GTR, power went up 25KW's at all four wheels with nothing else changed. Came at a cost though. TRUST cat back was $1200 and HKS front pipes were almost $900. From what i've seen at several dyno days, R33 GTST's with about 13-14psi, full exhaust, air filter run about 180kw's at the wheels. Every single dyno is different but around 180rwkw seems to be about the normal figure.
