datsunpilot Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Im looking for ideas, experience, options, suggestions, anything for what to do for an exhaust on my sr20det 510. I would like to do a 3" exhaust for the turbo motor. I dont want to have it sound anything like a ricer (honda aftermarket exhaust) from my experience a turbo 2.0 jap motor sounds alot different then other jap motors.. ie an Evo sounds good and its a 2.0 turbo. I dont know if I want a can on the back (3" into a big round 4 or 5" exit) but I am open to that for the right price. One of the big questions though is about running the pipe through the rear suspension like it is run stock. Is that necessary or advised against? Has anyone had any luck doing a cat back from a different car. For instance I was looking and measuring kits for the 240sx which is a much longer car so I would have extra pipe to cut, bend and weld. It is also mostly straight without going around any under body work or over rear suspension. Thinking about this just because of the low cost on ebay of stainless kits. ($118-200) Lets hear and see what yall think I am ready right now to pull the trigger on something. Not opposed to a good muffler (hks or megan or buddy club) and building the rest of it from the top mount back. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 You will need to enlarge the hole going through the crossmember to 4 inch, you will need to custom build the exhaust if u want it tucked high enough to not scrape on everything Quote Link to comment
rpowell25 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 2.5" stainless. Had the hole enlarged to 3". HKS muffler sounds nice but it is not quiet. Paid a shop $600 (already had the muffler) and they did it in about a 2 days. This is on a VG30E N/A. Robert Powell Quote Link to comment
datsunpilot Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 They enlarged the hole for you too? I have been thinking that would be a lot of work but the more I look the more I think it has to be done and would not be too bad. Thanks The pics of your build look good! Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I did mine 4 inches so I can clear a 3 inch band clamp Quote Link to comment
datsunpilot Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 SSS youre acting as my personal information center. Thanks! That is really stretched. I guess the metal is thick around the edges it shouldnt really weaken anything. That doesnt look to bad, there is still good metal around the edges. Is your car a daily driver? You have any info I should know for my build? Thanks again Ill do it as soon as I pull the rear end for a LSD. Hopefully I will find on this weekend at a you pull it yard. Fingers crossed. Also going to look for a pedal cluster so I can hook up the throttle body and some other goodies.... Quote Link to comment
