Im organising my first mod for my stock 32gtst which is of course the zorst.

Im getting the dump/front and high flow cat of BATMBL for a good price now i just need to sort out my cat back. I wanted the Apexi N1 but i talked to xspeed and they said they don't have any in stock and they were over a grand anyway ( I was looking to pay more like 8 hundered'ish) they said they are getting some HKS high power's in at the start of next month for $865.

So basically is there anywhere in perth to get a zorst cheaper ? and what does everyone think of the High Power ?

I don't mind paying $865 but i just thought id check if you guys knew a better place...

i got told they were expensive for doing work on a car, i didn't think that nessasarily ment that they would be expensive for parts. I went there cos i didn't know any other place that stock HKS and Apexi exhausts. I understand that they are expensive and i have no problem with that. I just wanted someone to say that that was a fair price so i know im not paying more than is nessesary :P Now i know to try mettams thanx mate ;)

I was quoted by Mettams's: $400 for a 3 inch cat back exhaust system with stainless steel cannon. I reckon it's a good price.

It's $780 for Turbo-Back System...excluding hi-flow cat.

Will be making an appt after I get my front/ dump pipe and hi-flow cat.

Most probably will be getting from batmbl. However may consider getting the X-Force ones from e-bay. Have read some good reviews about them.

in my opinion i dont think the jap brand vs local brand thing does much in terms of zorst.. widening everything to 3" will get u the bulk of the power.. the exhaust decision for me was really wat sounded the best to me.. and i doubt there would be huge amounts of power difference between them...

i think a lot of the difference is right there. You may buy a 3inch exhaust system, but if it isnt mandrel bent, then you may end up getting an exhaust system which is only 2.5 inch in size at a certain point -> which will impede airflow compared to a 3inch mandrel bent system.

I had my fujitsubo 3.5inch exhaust fitted at an exhaust shop, and the guy commented on the quality of the tig welding, mandrel bending and the stainless steel used on the system. Basically, he said that NOTHING made here could match that sort of quality for the price. So while local systems may be cheaper, your jap gear may be of better quality (depending on the system you buy)

buy the Jap stuff - online at greenline or neugen.

Not only is it a reserched and developed system - it just looks more "quality" and better finished.

GO the Apexi N1 - AWESOME exhaust - remember:

1. DONT COMPROMISE

2. DO IT ONCE - DO IT PROPERLY (if it takes alittle longer to save, do it, it will be worth the wait).

mettams are awesome for doing weldjobs etc, and they are real cheap for stock exuast system.

for my gtr ill be getting a N1, love the sound and they arnt 2 loud.

i bet the one from mettams will be hell loud.

i paid $700 for a 3inch mandrell cat back, with a stainless muffler a few year back for my turbo laser, and it was hell loud. got it done by formaz.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
