In all honesty the difference between mandrel and press bent exhausts isnt huge especially when theres not many bends involved.

My R32 has 3 bends (that are of any significance, and one of those is on the front pipe which he isnt getting anyway), the rest are such slight bends (5-10 degrees) that spending extra money on a mandrel bend is a bit silly.

Admitedly I have seen some bad press bent exhausts that would limit flow considerably. But done correctly they can be pretty good. And since 3 inches is pretty large anyway, going down to 2.5-2.75" on 2 or 3 bends isnt going to stifle flow that much.

Hey all  

I'm now in the process of getting an exhaust for my car and i've found a descent place.

3' inch mild steel, hi flow cat, turbo back and stainless steel tip = $800 (fitted)

Seems like a good price as other places quoted me 1500 for the same job.

What you guys think? Any good?

That's a very good price!

I've been looking in the region of 1500 bucks minimum for my exhaust (mind you, it is twin system being a 300zx).

Might have to have a talk to the fellows there and see what they can do for me :)

Cheers

Rob

Hi All i went out yesterday to visit this exhaust shop and yes its $800.00 fully fitted 3" all the way from the turbo with a dam big cannon on the back end the only problem is he said it would take 1 - 1 and a half days to do the job nice bloke,

He said that he has done a few WRX and sorts he also said that its quiet loud but can supply a baffel that you can screw into the back of the exhaust to make it a bit more quiet. well worth a look if you are able to be with out you car for a day or so.

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
