Advice Trust Power Extreme II Cat-back Exhaust?

[RedBaron]

Hi Guys,

I would really appreciate the help.

I am looking to purchase a Trust Power Extreme II Cat back with the BATMBL combination.

If any people out there who have a PEII setup, would you be able to tell me if its loud in the cabin as well as outside? I prefer to not have the cops pulling me over all the time.

Please do let me and others know what your opinions are on the Trust PEII catback exhaust.

Thanks fellas.

Anyone?

I've got Michael's dump pipe and a PEII on my 33 GTST. It's quite quiet for it's size. Really nice note, and not a droney exhaust.

As for fitting, everything bolted straight up. Although the centre muffler seemed to be quite close to the rear driveshaft, so I had a spacer put on to make the exhaust sit a bit lower.

Apart from that, I love it!

I am about to purchase it next week and wanted some opinions.

Thanks man. Appreciate your help.

I got one on my GTR, very very happy with it. Sounds great, looks good, doesn't drone or resonate on freeway and sounds very angry when boosted hard

Are you ordering it from Nengun? Their prices look pretty good, even with $400 shipping.

Power extreme is pretty quiet, Power Evolution is damn loud. I have a Power Evolution on my GTR and had one on my GTSt, the GTSt read 109dB...

Got the whole lot from Nengun

Shipping exhausts is about $400? Damn - I almost bid on a Nismo cat-back on Yahoo Japan auctions the other day but was unsure about the shipping costs....

At that price its worth ditching the cat back and just getting the brand name muffler and fabricating the piping over here. Plus you could get it done stainless over here with a better looking hotdog resonator and it would be a great system overall. Cheaper than shipping from Japan.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all your feedbacks. Much appreciated.

I checked out Nengun and he has got R33 PE II for ~ $580 + ~ $337 for shipping = $917 and may take upto or more than 5 days to get delivered.

I have managed to find a source in Melbourne that can provide brand new Trust PE II for $910. I suppose "saving is still a saving".

Let me know if you guys are interested or if you know anyone who could be interested in this.

Thanks guys.

Who is the bloke in Melb? Is it $910 just cat back?

Japan is living in the dark ages in regards to shipping costs!!!!

[RedBaron]

hey sewid,

Just a friend who has some contacts. It is just $910 for the cat-back. I am also getting BATMBL (Michael) front/dump pipe and CAT.

Thanks.

Guys I got mine from Autobarn for $899. Took two weeks to arrive, but saves a hell of a lot of hassle than getting it from overseas.

[RedBaron]

Yep. that is so true. Atleast you can rock up to Autobarn and talk to them face to face.

I have been emailing Nengun for the past week and he hasnt even gotten back to me about prices, costs.

I was looking to get a Fujitsubo Legalis R through a guy for my GTT. He ended up sending the GTR one and still has not replied to any one of my emails.

[GTshortie]

Recently got the Fujitsubo Super Legalis R on my r33 gts25t, personally i stilll think its too loud compared to stock, hey Razorsharp, need to meet up with you some time to compare, i know on idle the Fujitsubo is loudish, i haven't revved my car yet because still braking in the engine so can't tell you what it sounds like on full throttle.

i use to have an Apexi N1 and it was VERY LOUD, ahahh too loud for my liking, but i've got high flow cat and custom front pipe and alot of other mods (forged pistons, high flow head etc etc) that could affect the noise level as well, BUT personally i'll prefer the Trust PE2, from experience on a s15 and other ppl's opinion everyone said its nice and quiet.

my 2 cents

my 2 cents

Yeah, thats the impression i had when i looked at the pics of. It has a pretty big resonator. I m really not a big fan of the cat-pipe-muffler solutions, too loud on idle.

[RedBaron]

I ended up talking to Autobarn and got it from them. Thanks razor.

If anyone is interested in the PE2, i would be more than happy to organise group buy. I can have a word with Autobarn and get some good prices. Shipping costs from Japan and then the waiting is extremely annoying.

What does the PowerExtreme II have over the Apexi N1? The N1 is selling for $549 at modyourcar.com (muffler only).

A shiteload more quiet...

[RedBaron]

PE2 is not as noisy compared to the N1 from what i hear. PE2 is a cat-back system not just the muffler. With the N1 you mentioned, you will need to get the piping done for the cat back part.

[sewid]

You're right - the N1 catback is same price as the PE2 and the N1 muffler comes out at an angle. I hate that look.

RedBaron: Do autobarn have stock of these PE2? I wonder if they could get a catback in for an R34 GTR?
