Advice on exhaust

[RedS14T]

Hey guys,

I have a budget of around $1000 give or take for an exhaust on my S14, i know this isn't an ideal amount but i am after the best bang for the buck. How would i go about getting it turbo-back? I'm happy to settle for cat-back - as long as it doesn't sound like a lancer... . Will $1k be enough for a professionally fitted custom jobby? I am located on the North Shore but willing to travel for the best deal.

Sorry for my limited knowledge i appreciate any help anyone can offer me.

Cheers!

hey dude,

$1000 will buy you a full custom cat back system. If you search around, you could get a nice jap cat back and maybe a front pipe, if you spend a touch more you will get a full turbo back system and then save for a large high flow cat..

To help you;

My r33 had the following;

HPC coated 3 1/2" dump and front pipe : $500 (ish - i cant remember)

4" high flow cat : $350

3 1/2" 5Zigen cat back system: $600 (ish).

thats a rough guide on what you'd be paying - maybe a little less on the dump and front pipe.

Hope that helps.

I got a nice 3"" turbo back mandrel bent system with Hi-Flow cat and muffler with a twin 2 1/2"" anti cop-bait outlet for $1400 fitted by Nizpro in Vic. They may be able to freight one up to you for less?

It has a nice deep growl, great power and I have lotsa fun setting off alarms in car parks he he

I have a TRUST Power Extreme II, with a TRUST MX front pipe.

Makes a nice rumble, wouldnt call it a growl tho'

It's a 3" (AFAIK) Mandrel bent. I like the styling of the angled muffler too. looks mad!

Saving for a Dump pipe and High flow cat next...

Keep an eye out on the forums, and trading post for a good deal. I think if you set yourself a budget for each piece, you can get an entire system for just over that price. As an example, I got a HKS Super dragger (retail new for over $1K), for $250 on these forums. Then I spent $400 on a dump and front pipe(new). Now that leaves me $350 to buy a hi flow cat before I hit the $1000 limit......

I guess I was lucky though picking up a cat back for $250, but you might find a good deal too.

Red: Hi Tech mufflers in darlinghurst is the place you want to go. I ran a 5 Zigen fireball catback system on my S14 and turfed it in favour of a custom made stainless cat back system from Hi tech, the results were very impressive with a very noticeable increase in performance.

I can arrange a better price for you if you are interested, just pm me
