Blitz all the way. I got the full stainless steel 3.5inch one. Sounds awsome. I get comments on the sound even from commodore drivers :) Has a really mean tone and shakes the top storey of my house when it goes in the garage :) On the other hand it is pretty loud. Ill let you know exactly how loud it is tomorrow :)...

jap brands are probably hype, get a batmbl 3" split dump pipe / front pipe

then get your local exhaust shop to fit and supply a hiflow 3" cat and 3" exhaust from there

much cheaper than an unfitted jap 3" cat back system

yea if you get a quality jap brand catback, you whole exhaust (turbo back) will end up costing like $1500+ but you can get turbo back for like $700 if you go the cheaper option. Ive even heard of ppl getting full exhausts for like $500 (it might have been bulshit i dunno)

After searching for a while I'm getting a Trust Power Extreme II as it's been reported to be a good flowing yet quiet exhaust. Pro Speed Racing have them for around $850 for the cat back. I originally was after a Fujitsubo but unfortunately they're out of my price range.

Yes, you can save money, but at least the off-the-sheld japanese catbacks are largely a known quantity when it comes to quality of construction, noise and (potentially) R&D. There have been a number of threads in which people have gotten a local install only to find it far too noisey or droney.

Personally i'd get a custom one.

They don't hang anywhere near as low as a mass produced Jap made one. These are made to miss everything by miles so if a flange isn't quite square it doesn't matter.

I had one done by D&T Exhausts here in Adelaide (cat and cat back) 3inch mandrel bent stainless.

When you look under the car the lowest point is the dump pipe, everything is tucked up and looks much nicer than any Jap exhausts i have seen.

Has a really nice note too

So the lowest point on your exhaust is the dump pipe off the turbo???

You've had your exhaust made and its much nicer than any Jap system?? Obviously never had your exhaust system off and had a decent look at it then...

Ask Cubes what he thinks of his stainless custom exhaust...

yes, i have only seen mine on the car, not off but from what i can see the quality is good, welds are clean, sections line up nicely.

i have a CES twin dump/front pipe which dips down slightly then back up to the cat. This is the lowest point on the system. Sorry, i didn't explain properly.

By nicer i was refering to the fit of the system with everything tucked up under the car.

I have heard plenty of people who have been dissapointed with custom systems, but i have been more than happy with the work i have had done, both on my skyline and on my old car(V8 Torana) I guess it all boils down to the guy doing the job.

i have a typical jap brand exhaust. mild steel cat back and its still in one piece, no holes, rust whatsoever. And who knows how long the previous owner and owner before that had it for. It costed me something like $400 odd when i bought it + batmbl's 2 in 1 dump/front and your easily looking at under 1k. Why go custom made for - which you have to wait, when you can just buy a 2nd hand jap one and fit it yourself.

I've never had any stainless steel components on my exhaust and personally, i believe it to be too expensive for what it is made to do - flow. On the other hand, custom made can be a hit and miss situation, like black32 said ask joel (cubes).

Race__24,

I had an exhaust done by D&T. I must admit I like the note, its not too lound and not too quiet. The exhaust is good quality APART from the dump.

Pulling the dump pipe off I was extremely dissapointed, weld splatters everywhere and they had not stretched the pipe over the flange well, this caused a V looking rise smack in front of the turbine wheel. Not good for trying to hold boost in the top end.

Mine was done some 3 years ago. I paid $1660 for a full 3" turbo back stainless exhaust.

I've got pics. Like to see them? Pics don't really do it justice but it does give you an idea of the problem.

I asked them to check it out, they said it wouldn't affect flow. cops arse. :)

Apart from the dump, I am very happy with the look, they way it has been hung and the sound.

The pics don't show the weld splatter inside the dump pipe, if you look carefully you can see a few little dots.

I've attached Pics.

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
