400GTST, what am i looking for when I take it off ? Im curious about this now

thanks

yeah but the xforce is turbo-back, so as far as flowing more out the rear end on a budget is concerned, they're not so bad

Turbo to cat pipes, which for most of you will mean a single pipe (ie. non-GT-R applications) aren't exactly expensive. I would rather pay $800-900 for a new name-brand japanese exhaust (or even less for near-new of YahooJP), and spend an additional $300 on a front pipe, than buy an X-Force exhaust of unknown quality (particularly after the mentions of poor welds and "OK" but not great fit) and sound.

Each to their own If i had the extra couple of hundred to throw at it at a full "known brand name" system at the time i would've done the same thing, but for my short-term plans with the car are concerned the x-force will do the trick for me :uh-huh:

If you were buying full brand name system new at average retail you'd be looking at:

Dump and front pipe ~300

Hi Flow Cat ~200

Jap-brand cat-back ~800

The Jap brand cat-back is more than i paid for my full system, hence my comment:

But yes, if you have the money and want to spend it on something with better quality, either get a custom system made up, or buy a rocommended brand name.

Anyway just my 2c

Just my opinion...i would go for maybe the x-force dump/front pipe and hi-flow cat, but cat-back, i would go for a japanese setup, there is no comparison for the kindda sound n quality u get for wot u pay in a japanese exhaust...esp after a longer period of time, the japanese exhausts show their quality by still packing that same sound with punch as these other exhausts start to get noisier n dont perform as well...

Besides brandname, its the amount of money thats been put into the R&D of japanese products that make them better...even the materials used n all...the japanese have been meticulous abt the smallest details that improve a car's performance esp aftermarket parts..the simplest most minor differences set them apart...

The notes emitted from japanese exhausts are always sweeter....soundwise its a hell of a difference.
