hello there fellas. i just bought new imported er34 gtt which is completely bone stock.this is my first turbo car therefore i dont have any idea about which type of exhausts to put in a turbo car.

plus there is also the vicroads and epa thing to think about.

i was wondering what i should put on my r34?i want a nice decent tone with performance (but i dont wana get in trouble with epa) what should i do buy a muufler from auto barn and take it to a exhaust place to put it on?

if any of u guys could give me sugestons would be a great help

^^^^^

this here has a hotdog muffler and a cannon on the back, it would be loud/well over legal.

This one has an oval centre muffler and a cannon on the back, it would not be as loud/close to legal.

that is what it sounds like you are after, if you go to a performance shop or an exhaust shop and tell them that you want something like that they should be able to supply you with something to suit.

thnxx a lot titan.....

i think i gotta visit an exhust shop tell my wants and get a quote that should be good....

i was at first thinking that i should just buy a mufler from autobarn and get the people to put it on but then i realized it might have complications to be put on and might be too loud as well.

My HKS system cost me $1000 from just jap if I remember correctly. Installed it my self. It has a very nice note to it. I also had a hiflow cat installed later on which gave it a nice bark to it when the taps are opened but I really loved the note it had with the previous cat as well. It has never gotten me into trouble with the police either. IMO best exhaust for a gtst but maybe I'm just biased :P

Just keep your stock exhaust in the garage and if/when you do cop an epa chuck it back on for the inspection

If ypur going to go to an exhuast shop go to a decent performance one that knows what there talking about mr muffler dont know shit. You have two choices either buy a jap cat back or go to a exhust place recomended from here and get them to make an exhuast for you. As said above keep the stock one incase you ever have an epa. Forgot going to just buy a cannon from autobarn and welding to your exhuast.

DON"T BUY EXHAUST COMPONENTS FROM AUTO BARN!

What your after is a tidy 3" system with a decent muffler. You can get mufflers that don't ruin your flow but still keep the noise down. If you have a good mechanic he should be able to give you a few options or if not try find your self a tuner who know's what he's talking about. But if your after cost effectiveness have a look in the forum classifieds and/or post up a "wanted to buy" ad. Should be able to find a full system or at least a cat back cheap but imo cat backs are useless and are only good for increasing your wank factor and noise.

There's my two bob's worth, Cheers.

Jump on the just jap website and buy a 3 inch dump and cat back. Cheap, direct fit and in most cases legal.

I've got a series 2 stagea so same engine as you I've got a hks high power. Just over 90db with a single cell cat.

+1 to the silent power, but it is too quiet for me and the car doesn't sound as angry as it did when i had reinhard exhaust.

id sell it to you but you are in VIC and i cbf sending it.

Autobarn can get you anything from the trust/greddy catalogue so the trust mufflers are a good system also!

Okay I went to mufler man today tht guy has a shit load of muflers.he told me that if I put in any canon mufler I m bound to get in trouble bcz most of them are above the sound limit.he also told me that I can do the exhaust sysmten 1 by 2.so he suggested tht I get a decent mufler first,then get a cat back pipe with resonator or without depends on me then get the front pipe or what ever.

So I think I should get a mufler first then save up some more money and get catback pipe.but I m confused which mufler to get is it wise to spend 200bux on a mufler or shud I just get a cheap one arund50-100 bux?I actually liked the drift mufler I saw in autobarn is tht one any good?can u guys tell me why u guys are suggesting me not to buy anything from autobarn?

    • 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... 馃槢
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
