Hey y'all

bought myself a BATMBL 3" front/dump pipe and 3" Hi-flow CAT, so now i need a 3" CATBACK exhaust to complete the system :)

Looking at Apexi N1 or Blitz Nur spec exhausts, but can find f*ck all pictures of them on cars, not catalogue type pics. I searched all 20 pages of "apexi" thread titles, and "blitz" thread titles, and found NO pics of either exhausts on a car.

Prefer pics of these exhausts on a R34 but i guess any car/skyline really.

The other thing, does it really matter what 3" catback i get? It's basically a hollow piece of steel? Or is that simplifying things too much?

These 2 seem to sit nice and parallel to the ground and don't stick out from the rear bar (i don't want all that funky angled shit). If anyone else knows other types of exhausts that are similar shapes, i'm all ears.

cheers,

daniel.

Apexi N1 is an angled exhaust (hence the N1 designation).

I recently invested in a Trust Power Extreme II. It is also N1 style but i have found it grows on you, plus in reality the angled ones do flow better because there is not a big 90 degree bend just before the muffler.

I bought it at Advan performance in NSW who are actually a great bunch of guys and stuck the exhaust on while I waited for only $35. Even though it's a direct bolt on - the effort saved by using their hoist to undo the carbon fibre under tray and shit is totally worth $35.

Anyway these guys import trust gear into Australia and would ship it interstate - they always have Trust exhausts in stock too.

Another reason they are angled - a lowered car will scrape the muffler of a straight-out tipped exhaust because the 'departure angle' is too shallow...

If you angle them up they give better ground clearance and the tip is less likely to be destroyed :rofl:

thanks for the pics everyone, and yeah, Chris and especially CNBLOW, pics would be awesome!!

I know it would be better to have a straight as pipe possible, but i figure i won't really be able to tell a difference, so i want to go with something that i like the look of (not what the Japanese are doing :rofl: )

Blitz: it's not exactly straight, but i like the look of your exhaust. Do you mind if i ask how much?

Sewid: i ain't joining no dark side if it means i'm going to be unhappy with the way something looks on my car :rofl: You got any pics or urs?

cheers guys

I just went downstairs to take some pics.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA @ the ruler pic! ;)

A little too much parallax error there for me to tell, but it certainly ain't 22.75cm's is it! more like 12'ish

Car looks phat sewid. Does ur exhaust trumpet out a bit??

Hey Brendan, do you have any pics mate??

cheers

haha yeah it's hard to use a ruler to take a good measuremeant of that while taking a photo. But i'd say 12 - 14cm high.

I don't exactly know what you mean but the exhaust doesn't stick out far at all. It ends almost exactly where the stock exhaust ended. Also it's not very loud at idle but when you hit 4 or 5 grand it starts to really growl so its excellent for putting around town and not getting noticed by cops.

sorry, wasn't very clear. I mean the tip bit, trumpet out, as in, diameter gets wider just for the tip bit? Probably just the angle it was taken on.

Is it much different to an Apexi N1 shape?

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
