Exhaust And Bov Choices

[88cameron88]

a good mild steel 3inch system from the turbo, a chambered centre muffler, high flow cat and twin 3inch drift pipes at the back will sound absolutely mint!

will be fairly loud though

or if you have a thing shiny cannons, go 3inch turbo back with hi flow cat, middle resonator/hotdog and cannon at rear, will have an okay note but not too loud

i would advise against stainless, its not what its cracked up to be.

just find an exhaust shop near you to make as system, if you cant find anyone decent come up and see me in newcastle!!! Iam an exhaust mechanic and we do lots of skylines!

ive always thought about getting a bov so i could drive past a V8 sat at the lights and scare the crap outa them, lol, isnt that what there for??? lol

Yes, Nissan installed them on their cars to ensure other motorists would crap themselves every time the driver changed gears.... do you read what you write or is it just dribble and hit post....

haha, hey i thought that was funny, and refered to having a loud bov not a standard one from the nissan factory, and was directed at v8's meaning V8's that usually try to hose skylines off, not the general public, all in good fun... i have a stock blow off valve and dont scare people with blow off valves, dont you enjoy a bit of fun with the v8 guys???

no offense just having a light hearted input ok?

Stainless is definitely what it is cracked up to be. My exhaust will long outlive the rest of my car. I could leave my car sitting in a field in the rain for 20 years until it is all rusted beyond recognition; my exhaust will still be in mint condition.

Alright thanks I'll get a box if I get one.

I'll YouTube jams when I get home thanks mate

That's exactly my point of view mark. I live where it's 90% holdens and 5% non turbo p plate cars. I want one to just say turbo turbo turbo.

Pod filter, 3" dump/front pipe, and metal intake pipe... Induction noise > bov.

you are incorrect my friend. we have unhappy people with stainless exhaust come into work every single day. Stainless exhausts may "outlast" a mild steel system in terms of a lack of rust but they crack like crazy. Iam forever pulling stainless exhaust of cars to weld up HUGE cracks in exhausts that are only 18 months old. It is very rare that i have to weld up a stress crack in a mild steel system. And dont even get me started on stainless bolts, studs and nuts.

Once you have worked in an exhaust shop you will understand mate!!!

Stock BOV and Pod filter will let everyone know its turboed if thats what worrys you

The only reason I have an aftermarket BOV is cause I was sick of the noise of the standard one. Mines plumback and doesnt sound to loud. The standard one just Shitted me off, but its a good item as anyone on here will confirm

Exhaust wise. I have an X-Force 3" turbo back exhaust, Mild steel $1100 two years ago when I got it. Stainless ones arent much more.

I like the sound of mine, wouldnt hesitate buying an X-Force exhaust again

Yeah I wouldn't mind that rather then getting an ecu as I've discovered from this helpful post.

Is the metal intake pipe the one from the filter to the turbo??

And is the dump/front pipe the one after the turbo on the exhaust side??

Or did I just embarrass myself?

With aftermarket plumb back do you need an aftermarket ecu and tune??

Ok I'll YouTube that too. I've got alot of research to do, I love it! The misses won't though .

[Ruxis]

Yes and Yes

Yay I'm learning . Cool I think ill look into that after I get my exhaust.

I suspect with my setup it would run fine with stock ECU but not 100% sure. Theoretically it should as long as its plumbed back.

If I was gonna get a Plumback BOV for a stock setup Id get a Kompact series Turbosmart bolt on one. They do one for skylines now.

cheers Ruxis, glad to hear someone agrees with me, the skyline is the king, and the ford and holdens should be hosed off and put in there place lol, not promoting illegal street racing here, so dont get wrong idea, but the skyline is the best car on the street, so everyone should respect the rb!! maybe a bov is needed to compete with that v8 noise, so be it..

Then they used poor quality steel. My exhaust was made by Kermit. Those in WA will know what I'm talking about.

I'm quite good mates with Kermit, he has shown me pictures of some jobs that he has done. Race cars that have crashed at stupid speeds and the only things that survived are his custom stainless intake piping and his exhausts. He uses absolute top quality stainless (shameless plug for a top bloke ) and offers lifetime guarantee. Go around to your exhaust shops and see how many of them offer a lifetime warranty on all their work.

I would definitely buy yourself a cheap pod and run it without a box just to try it. My car came with a shitty supercheap brand pod and runs the stock rubber intake piping and the stock bov is plenty loud. Imo it was a little too loud, (being people always looking around etc when i drove past)

And I'll wager that they are the $400 cheap shit crap quality stainless

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

when you eventually get defected for your fully sick bov.... please don't bother us with a post whinging about it

[Hanaldo]

Exactly.

To be on topic; OP here is are some clips so you can hear my exhaust. Forgive the poor quality, were both taken with an iPhone4 and it's a bit hard to hold onto the phone at WOT lol

This one is at idle:

The camera makes it seem quieter than it really is.

This one is an in-car vid while driving:

Didn't quite get to redline, caught up to the car in front too quickly lol. Again, apologies for the poor quality.
