Dunno Paul, just a personal thing i suppose. This will be the last exhaust i ever put on the car, so i want it to last. And sometimes i get under the car and make it all shiney again. Is that weird?

Give Peter a ring at Advan, they get some great TRUST front pipe copies made up...you would be hard pressed to tell the difference!

P.S. why do you want stainless?

I'm welding up my own mild steel job that runs a 3.5" dump/front pipe in to a 3.5" cat, from the cat runs a 3.5" pipe in to a 3.5" Magnaflow muffler that splits the flow in to 2 x 2.5" pipes.

Then from the intermediate muffler 2 x 2.5" pipes will run to the back of the car in to a 2 x 2.5" inlet and outlet magnaflow muffler.

2 x 2.5" nice little exhaust tips and it will be quieter than a single 3.5" flow slightly better and won't look like a damn Milotin. ;)

Magnaflow also make a 4" in that splits in to 2 x 3" out.

That would flow damn well. :rofl:

Generally Aus exhausts from my experience are crap. I had a $1660 D&T Performance exhaust made up that was absolutely sh*t house.

The dump pipe has massive slags splattered inside not to mention how the pipe wasn't stretched properly to mate up with the lower part of the flange, resulting in a 15mm V shape exhaust flow protruding lump smack in front of the compressor wheel. :P

Its been around 3years, now all the welds are rusting, but its s/steel?!??! :(

Depends on the setup... a few scenarios, using 350rwkw

a) if you are using an EXT Gate and plan to plumb it back 4" regardless

B) if you are using an EXT Gate and keeping it atmo... 3.5" would be pretty reasonable if your tight in cash, it would give you enough otherwise 4" if you ahve the bling bling

c) if its all int gated and stuff (read:nasty sh|t) then 4" regardless

As for WetGTR, from what ive taken in, the CAMS and stuff will be allowing you to do that power with the 3" as they are forcing it.

Put on a 3.5", or even a 4" as im sure ben has told you... and it would be VERY interesting to see the power difference which should be very notceable.

PS. Racepace custom turbos are the shiznit ;)

Weird....thats nuts!! But then again our TRUST 4" has got cat guts splattered all over it!

Yeah, ill be venting external wastegate to atmosphere, but if i get sick of that (or defected) i'd like to be able to dump it into the exhaust pipe at a later date.

Im actually having a hard time finding a 4 inch (101mm) stainless exhaust for my r32. I like the Apexi, but the N1 evolution goes from 85mm near the cat to 95mm towards the rear!!??? Apexi do a true 100mm exhaust, but not for the R32 anymore.

BTW, its $1100 for a cat back stainless Apexi, and $1700 for a cat back MILD Trust. WTF!

Yep your right R31Nismoid!

Ben did tell me that the exhaust system is becoming a restrictive point in my system. I'm now in the process of installing a HKS Super Dragger Muffler which is 3.5" and will have my EXT Gate vent to amto.

Wanted to go a 4" system but when you have the 3.5" HKS Muffler but sitting there doing nothing at my brothers place (was to be a future project of a Supra) , thought I use that and see what the results are.

I can tell you that atm I have 412awkw with a 3" system, then if the ext gate vents to atmo, I get 417awkw.

I hope the 3.5" system takes my power levels a little further. I will post up the results once completed.

This is almost the exact same combination that i have put together. Will be interesting to see what it does on the dyno next week. I will keep you posted. Only thing that i can see is different is you have used 280 degree cams where i used 272 .

I would highly reccomend a Trust TR (they are 3.75 inch i think) they fit the bill for your requirements except for the stainless steel part which is really nothing major. The silencer system they have is very effective and they make room for large power increases.

Advan Perfromance in Silverwater stock them - 9647 1326

I have this. Got it from Nengun.

It is pretty loud... but tough sounding with the cams :)

It's a bit much for daily driving, and particularly highway work

nice on the track though

How much was it? Is it the Trust TR. Is that all you got or did it come with the rest of the exhaust (cat back including silencer and cat replacement pipe)? Im really interested to know becuase ill consider doing this as well.

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
