Hey all excuse the newbie question. Im in the market to buy an exhaust for my R33 series II and Ive come accross two types Cat back and Turbo back exhaust whats the difference price,noise etc?? Also ive seen cars with exhausts and if you look inside the cannon they have these ugly restrictor looking things which I dont want whats with these things? I just want a cannon that is a proper cannon muffler not restricting the exhaust gasses. Any input would be highly appreciated.

cat back is from the cat (catalytic converter about half way up the car) to the rear of the car

turbo back is from the turbo all the way to the back of the car

it includes the dump and front pipe which is the section between the tubo and the cat a high flow cat and then the cat back system.

the rectictor thing ur talking about im guessing is a removable silencer thses and just bolted in and can be easily removed

get a 3" cat back fitted/supplier at your exhaust shop and get a 3" split dump from batmbl and you get best of both worlds. give the split dump to your exhaust place and get them to fit at the same time.

the split dump will remove turbulance off the exhaust housing and allow it to flow more as its not being forced down out a 2" exit (i think the stock is 2.25" actually). it will flow more it top end as it wont choke and the car feels fantastic after this is done. also the turbo spool up noise is a little bit more auidable with a larger dump and front pipe combo

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
