Fabrication of dual exhaust system For GTR

[GunMetalR33]

Cant wait to see what it looks like on the car!!! I wish I could hear it though...

[Ronin 09]

I would love a listen to it when you're done

looks great

How awesome is this. Good work. I love the carbon mufflers.

About the welding, what gas are you using? You obviously know what you are up to...but if you are using a TIG then with an Argon shielding and purge gas you get an even neater weld with less heat input. Get some Varigon shieldign gas and use an argon purge and the weld is even better again as the gas burns hotter and stops oxidation of the weld pool.

Apologies if you know this already, but my welding fetish is only matched by my brake fetish

...oh and not on twin setup like this from Japan, do they ever run a balance pipe in the exhaust like all the Corvette (ie big V8s) do?

Your a sick man Roy

[Dahtone Racing]

mmmmm love your work man

what would a system like that be worth to get made from an exhaust shop?

[ylwgtr2]

had to fit a couple of hotdogs in it to shut it up a bit.....no stainless ones in stock so i fitted steel ones to see if they would work how i wanted..... and they do so i have ordered some stainless ones...the steel ones were 70 each the stainless 150.....i figured i could afford to risk 140 to see if it works other than finding out 300 worth of dogs were going in the bin....

so you decided against having the mufflers angled? It looks as you went to quite alot of effort to get both tips pointing straight back. I mean maybe it could have been easier to have them angled as now one of the pipes has a 90 degree bend where it loops around the diff. Maybe not so good for flow...

[ylwgtr2]

the under body wont allow it(spare wheel well,hangers no clearance to run the pipe under the suspension craddle cant fit the diffuser back on if its done any other way...and the list goes on...)and its not what i wanted anyway....

[ylwgtr2]

oh and to add.....it produces an awsome howling sound when you stand on it ....but i broke the rear CV on the tailshaft on the test drive so couldnt really test it out good

oh i forgot the diffuser, i guess your right then

As long as it sound good

[SS8_Gohan]

Not sure what you mean by 350Z style..... I will post more pics of the system as it get fabricated....i think we should wait untill you get your car...then we will do the match up as i am not to keen on playing with same one elses bumpers(neither would they be )...dont worry too much about it chinny...we will get them to fit nicely

350Z Style? like M3, pipes both side of the car, but from your pics i know what you're doing now.

Whatever you think is best, i did have someone willing to lend their R34 (hi Bass Junky!) but you'd still rather use my car?

[ylwgtr2]

yeah will just use yours...

[SS8_Gohan]

ok, so you think it can be done then? Cos the initial line up was just too see if it was plausible and i'd go and get a GTR rear bar after if you thought it could be done? Because if you think it's the way to go (rather than try and mould something) i'll go and get the rear bar from someone who has one here in Melbourne.

cheers.

awesome mate... how about making a sound file for us or a small vid

[ylwgtr2]

nah sorry....cant make one.....camera doesnt do it...besides that i am not really a techo dude...would know how to use it if it did

[ricknismo]

do you think it 'picks up' better?

[inark]

lol troy...

i think i might have to come with the camera and make a small vid of it
