JoshC Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Looking for a new exhaust so was browsing the net and came across this. I'm sure it's been discussed before. What are peoples thoughts? I actually really like it! Can pick up a used cat back GTR for around £350 on eBay. Not sure if the one in the vid would just be the cat back though?

GIXXERUK Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Search, an owner on here did it, iirc it took a bit of fabricating as the Gtr is wider than you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, reading from the video desc. it sounds like some fabrication and relocation of the hangers needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, reading from the video desc. it sounds like some fabrication and relocation of the hangers needed! I did this about a year ago. Sounds awesome. I got the exhaust 2 years old for £50 on the GTR forum. Check my posts for video and pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britishbeef Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Will you get a nice sound from a standard gtr exhaust or does it have to be a aftermarket ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomLum Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Filmed on crappy old camera so sound isn't great. My old 350z with R35 GTR exhaust. Cold start: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just the backbox you have or the centre section too? How much fabrication work was involved and if you don't mind me asking (assuming someone else did it for you) how much did it cost you in labour to have it fitted?

How much fabrication work was involved and if you don't mind me asking (assuming someone else did it for you) how much did it cost you in labour to have it fitted? Yes it came as back box with long center section (all one piece) and 4 chrome tips. I dropped it off at a custom exhaust garage at 9am and picked it up at 3pm at a cost of £200 I think. The center pipe on the gtr pipe was chopped off and the backbox welded to the 350z center pipe. The exits pipes where chopped off the gtr pipe, shortened and welded back on as it's insane how wide the exhaust is! When it's finished it fits perfectly where the standard pipe sits. Sounds more aggressive with no drone and the big tips look great. What's not to love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to decide between this option and a custom exhaust from a local place but gonna have a browse on the GTR forum now to see if any are for sale!

TomS Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 There should be a fair few owners with the OEM exhaust on GTROC that they want rid of. It's probably worth contacting places like SVM and Litchfield to see if they have any lying around as most owners upgrade their exhaust then don't want the OEM one back, I don't have mine as it was left at Litchfield when a titanium exhaust was fitted a couple of years ago.

I got mine from a guy on the GtR forum who had 3 of them. Since I fitted mine two other people have asked me about it and bought the guys remaining exhausts. So there are plenty out there, just some people seem to want ridiculous money for them. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've just messaged that same guy and if the other 2 you spoke to bought them then I'm guessing his reply is going to be that he has none left Will keep any eye out for more though!

TomS Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/309185-2013-gtr-parts.html There's one for £150 but I'm sure you could make him an offer. Don't even think it's been used very much going by the other thread he has made. Possibly 6000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Might be worth giving Kaiser a call as I have seen used GTR exhausts at his place http://www.kaizermotor.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
