thanks to all of u guys! im just planning to visit Carline exhaust at Gladesville tmr morning.

and anyone have an idea with MRT at Rhodes? one of ma mates said that place is good for tuning up but I couldnt find any info about exhaust at their internet site..

I think most people go with a custom made one mate,

2.5" mandrel bent - dont forget to include a few mufflers to keep the noise level down! i've got a hot dog and a resonator as well as an oval muffler on the end.

congrats on the 34 :)

Just paid deposit to Carline at Gladesville, the total cost for changing muffler is $380. It is 2.25 cannon and straight. I tried to make it cheaper thats why i chose straight, not added bent pipe for good looking.. What do u guys think about the price? Reasonable or not?

ps MRT said $700 this morning.. just a muffler..I know they are good but..the price.....

380 seems like a bit much just for a muffler change, im quite sure i paid around 200 for mine - but mine was a mild steel which is cheaper in general.

didn't you intend to change the whole system from the catback not just a muffler though?

I was going to get catback but just got penalties from RTA...... 2 penalties were around 400 altogether shit..

So I decided to change muffler only this time.. the muffler I chose was Japanese after market one so I dont wanna think about the price anymore haha........shit..

BTW Thanks to Jonno and 10 4!!

Take care with driving guys. Cheers!

save the (nearly) 400 for the muffler and wait till you can afford a full cat back - should be about 1k for a custom made one, hell i picked up a second hand one for 120 bucks with everything i needed on!

yeah tbh if i had the choice to change exhaust now i probably wouldnt do it again, especially if i bought the exhaust brand new.

as far as i can see theres not much if any noticeable difference in power, and it gets too loud at times even with all the mufflers ...

It was quite successful with changing only muffler.. the sound is still deep but as I see some comments, now i understand what u guys r talking about haha

Anyway, it was my first time to do somthing to my car. Thanks everyone! Cheers!

no probs mate, as long as you're happy with what you did our opinions are irrelevant really

the muffler will after some weeks quieten down a little bit (in my experience they all have) and your ears will be infinitely more grateful :)

    • Me coming to check the thread to see if my manual boost controller was set up correct......  
    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
    • These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh
    • This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.
