Wgnc34 Stagea Exhaust Questions

[bjd]

rb25neo, they have been doing this for many years and yes they dyno before and after to prove the results.

The cost for HKS silent exhaust, 3" catco hiflow cat and blitz 3" front pipe alone cost $1750 and still the cost of fitting if your not doing it yourself so probably around the $2000 price range anyways.

Have a look for yourself http://www.cesracing.com.au/ these guys have a serious reputation and have held it for many many years now.

A pipe with the same ID should flow the same as another. The jap systems sometimes step down internally hence they sometimes prove to be a restriction at certain power levels.

I back to back tested a CES split against a good bellmouth and it was line ball (using a GT-RS) but the bellmouth made a whisker more power everywhere. Possibly dyno variation.

The quality of CES gear is very high so you will end up with a quality item, over the life of the car it will be something to set and forget.

I am not sure it will perform better than another cheaper straight thru system.

Guaranteed 40kw?????? If your pushing 500kw+ maybe, but not on a mildly tuned engine.

Also 2600 bucks? Thats pretty steep....

any update on this, how did the ces exhaust go ?

Yes I'd be keen to hear as well ^

Also, mine came with the nizmo OEM cat back, anyone know the exact specs? Would I see a decent gain with. 3" front pipe and metal cat bolted to the front of it or better off going full system?

Mate the Jap ones are not all there cracked up to be, your mostly paying for sticker name. I have been going through the same dilema at the moment. In my opinion I think the Jap sticker brands are great for coolers and add ons like oil catch tank etc. But with price not being your deciding factor I would say you cant go past CES racing. I have been looking for the best quality and flow myself without price considerations and no one but CES racing will give you guaranteed kw increase. Full CES 3"stainless system with ceramic coated twin dump pipe for $2640. Im booked in to get mine fitted in 2 weeks time. Guaranteed 40kw increase at the wheels, best systems around for quality and performance I reckon

how did you go! i'm looking at options also
