Exhaust - Suggestions Please!

[love ke70]

go matt black tipp, i know i will if i ever do mine again.

and whoever said second hand extractors are false economy, why?

serious question :)

Generally I believe this due to the fact that you don't really know the history of the pipes. They may last anywhere between 1 month and a couple of years. you'l pay gereally (yes, I know, you can be lucky and get them cheaper) 50 to 200 bills for them, and then have to pay some bloke a few more bills to get them fitted. If you buy them new, you'll know that they'll generally last you the life that you have the car.

 

That's my opinion anyway. I always now buy new, and custom.

I'm happy to buy extractors new i reckon, just need to get a decent price for them first! Have you got a pic of your exhaust love_ke70? There's been a few pics on here, but none are of ke70's. Probably popping down to the exhaust place this morning to have a look at what they got, and also to the "4's 6's & 8's shop" here in adelaide so hopefully i'll have some better pricing after that! :)

Thanks love_ke70! That 1ggte looks pretty sweet! Mine is just a light poo brown stocker at the moment, but am gonna do just the basic mods to it (ie exhaust, carb, cams, rims & suspension), so i'll wack up pics when they're all done.

 

Didnt end up going out to the shop cause its 41c in adelaide today, but called the shop and the guy said a set of hurricane extractors would go for about $200ish, plus fitting. So that sounds a bit better i think! :)

[love ke70]

cool, thats not bad

i love my new car :)

Local muffler place said $600 for extractors(dunno what brand yet) 2inch exhaust 1 muffler, the conector bit after the extractors, and one just before diff!,

is this alright?, I'm gunna get it anyway, cause i know the fella and i can hopefully pay it off!

my 4 into 1 pacemaker extractors cost $40 from a wreckers.

 

my sports exhaust with a 3 bolt flange on the extractors with a 1 7/8" system and a single reverse flow muffler cost $200 all up. this was at a place that allowed me to watch them hang the system.

 

all this was done around 6 years ago, and is still going strong. :harhar:

[love ke70]

probably double those prices these days id think....i duno tho, i know little bout pricing

[Falken_KE30]

well, took the car in today, will be ready on friday nite or saturday morning.

 

He is doing the extractors, 2" exhaust, 1 muffler.

THEN he has to replace my front rotors as mine where rooted, they where grooved, warped, blue from heat, and where only 7mm thick!!.

so $200 later i will have hole new brakes.

 

get to pay him off though which is a huge bonus, so no huge lump some of cash!

 

will get pics when done, probably saturday or sunday!
