OK now before i start posting, yes i have searched and read all the posts related to exhausts.. But i have a few questions that im still confused about..

1) What is the quailty workmanship between a jap brand exhaust (thinking off gettin Trust Pe2 or Blitz Nur spec r, or fujitsbo) than to a local one such as xforce..

2) The price difference between them is huge!! eg, nur spec r is 950 excludin shippin, where as xforce is about 550--- > This is for catback exhausts!! Why is this.. Both stainless steel!!

3) Does jap brand exhaust have a better design??

4) Now this quesiton is related to sound, and i know it comes down to personal preference, but how does 1 go to listening to different types of exhausts.. so basically need some input in terms of what your exhaust sounds like..

5) So is it better to save money and go local, which might do the same job as a jap brand??

6) Ok well, if you could state which exhaust you have and why, please do so and any input will be much apprieacted..

7) Gettin split dump/front pipe n hiflow cat affect the noise??

Sorry about the long post..

But need as much help as possible to decide which exhaust (catback) will sound gd..

ohh btw this is for a series 2 r33..

cheers..

Personally I'd go for a Jap brand exhaust because of the massive experience they have in dealing with Skylines.

You probably won't notice any difference in power but I'd suspect things like quality of the bends and fitment are better in the Jap-made one.

As for sound, there is no real way to know. Maybe go on a cruise or dyno day and listen to exhausts and see if there's a sound you're attracted to then ask the owner about the system.

I have a 3" Kakimoto catback, standard cat and JustJap front/dump pipe combo. The sound is not too loud and if you search around SAU, you'll find that many of us recommend Kakimoto for a decent level of sound.

However, if I had the money I'd go for an Apexi N1 Catback. My brother had one on his FTO and it sounded extremely good.

May i ask which Fujitsubo exhaust?? i would like the powergetter..

Well basically im not intending of gettin a catback for power!! it is more in the intention of noise(rumbly type) and the looks of gettin a nice barrel at the end..

i say local..

and not local brand, i mean local exhaust shop

you get:

- brand new

- to your specifications re sound and height of the ground

- half the price

- good quality

i paid $540 for a 3" cat-back in mild steel with a stainless cannon muffler and an extra-large resonator.. all installed and tested before paying the money over

fansastic value for money and sounds exactly to my specifications

plus they actually make it sit higher than stock so you can get your car lowered and still make clearance :P

cheers,

Warren.

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
