Exhaust - What to get?

[Viscount]

Hey,

I want to spend about 700 - 800 dollars in the upcomming weeks fitting an exhaust to my car. I want it to be dual tip, but give a bit of an improvement in performance and of course produce a bit of noise. Any advice on which brands or what set up to go with?

Cheers

Thanks Skyline Boy. I'm specifically interested in dual tip systems though, as I want to keep the cars current appearance, but with some noise and performance increase. Any tips?

Im sure your local exhaust shop will atleast have some of these systems.

Magnaflow - Street series

Mufflers -

theres also sound files of an r34 gtr on that site you'll get some idea of how it would sound.

Viscount,

Having read a couple of your posts in other threads, I would suggest that if you get a brand name, get an exhaust for a RB25DET. Granted, it might be a bit big for the current N/A RB25, but it will save you money in the future when you decide to turbo it.

Using my car as an example, I fitted an HKS Super Dragger exhaust (3.25" cat back) for a little over $1100. There hasn't been any noticeable loss in power due to not enough back pressure, and I will not have to change the exhaust will be perfect for the RB25DET going in soon.

My two cents.

That's what I've been thinking. Thanks for the tip brett, but I would be interested in knowing that if I do decide to go for the 2 1/2 " exhaust, wouldn't I be able to easily and relatively change the end of the exhaust instead of replacing the entire system when I do turbo the car?

My advice, if you are looking to turbo your car, go bigger than you currently need. Then because you have a good cat back setup, you can then upgrade the front half of the exhaust i.e front pipe and cat, once your car is turbo, instead of replacing the exhaust from the cat back (or full exhaust) again.

This is the path that I have chosen on my R34 and I have not regretted it since. My exhaust is a bit loud (needed a silencer to get engineered), however this will quieten nicely when the RB25DET goes in on Wednesday!!
