Hi guys, ive been a member for few months now but first time posting :) wasnt able to come to the sydney meets because of work, but i will try make it to the Newcastle cruise.

Just got a quick question, if anyone knows a good exhaust place in sydney, someone who does quality work, im looking to get the whole exhaust system done on my 05 sportivo, ie: from CAI, extractor and the whole exhaust system.

Does anyone have any suggestion or done this before (if so, how does it sound/go and how much did it cost ya?)

thanks

http://www.hitechmufflers.com.au have been recommended to me by a few people for work in Sydney, they're not the cheapest but very good quality. They should be able to make a CAI aswell, only about 1-2 hours working in knocking up a full custom CAI and the material costs SFA

I still see no point in forking out that much money to replace the exhaust system for minimal gains.

I'd rather spend it on the central weak point of the car...handling. It's straight line speed is already decent. Invest in some good shocks/springs (coilovers even), front strut, rear sway etc etc. You'll notice more with that.

That's just me though. A few people only care about straight line...but still, I wouldn't be changing the exhaust in a hurry. The quickest N/A sportivo on here is running CAI/Excedy ceramic clutch/Spoon N1 axle back.

i got my exhaust done at some guys called auto performance mufflers.. they are in north parramatta, on windsor road, on the other side of james ruse drive to bunnings...

they are a little workshop, but a great bunch of guys and were the cheapest quote i received for my extractors/cat/catback system... they were fast too :)

A few guys have Remus exhaust on there rolla. It's probably the one I would choose if I had the money.

Thing is whether you want noise or better response/power from...well let's say a muffler.

Remus give you decent sounding tone...but they are just as restrictive, if not more than the stock muffler.

Take an Apexi N1 or Spec III or Pro Spec cannon for example, you have better response, a little more low to mid-range torque and a little more power. Only a little I know. But you get a great sound out of it still. Loud as all hell though lmao. Silencer a must if you're hitting lift.

They do REMUS and have a pretty good work ethic. Know of a few ppl here who have been very happy with the service.

The guy originally worked at Australia's Best then started his own business here (hence the name similarities haha)

Depends where u are located too i guess..

I think we need to do up a spreadsheet of all the exhausts that different people are running on their cars. Then list price,performance gains,what the system/muffler consists of as well as if it is legal noise wise.

That's a killer of an idea Brenndo. We have a contrasting variety of systems on here so it would be good to see.

PS: Remember people, Meerkat have good systems too rofl.

In my experience Hitech are probably one of the better exhaust shops out there and actually take pride in the work they do.

How could I forget. They designed a really good system for RX8. Wasn't even a full exhaust and it made impressive gains. I think...it was just axle back??? Article was in Hot 4's.

Im pretty sure it was a cat back...they also developed a killer 350z system when it was first released.

Speaking of hitech, they have finally updated their website. But with no Toyota?

Hitech exhausts do some quality work and have good attention to detail and listen to your requirements.

Liverpool exhausts - I would never go to again. :angry:

there are no doubts hitech are one of the best in the business.

livo exhaust can be a rip.

all i can say is the price they quote to redo an axle back with new cannon was 20$ less than the price i paid for cat back piping, flanges, hangers, redback resonator (2 yrs ago not at livo exhaust).

some of their work is good. but many stories of their welding much to be desired.

ive seen these guys make other stuff like intake pipes out of 'mild' steel and still charge 2 ballsacks for it.

only aluminium or stainless.

dont go liverpool exhaust unless there is a good reason to.

i do intakes for many cars

this is one example of my work

IMG_0029rss.jpg

solid as rock, secured held behind bumper with proper brackets.

try ask liverpool exhaust to do that. as simple as it may look i guess $400.

costs $250 to custom make this one stainless steel with genuine k&n pod filter.

those guys would source or just mandrel bend the stainless themselves and the rest would cost them nothing.

ballbreaker, maybe so.

ive heard good words abouts westside mufflers where jdmyard is.

i need to redo my exhaust due to adjustable swaybar issues so ill pay them a visit.

i mean if you can get same or better welding work and good service for a better price why not.

Iced the custom intake in the picture looks neat.

Can you please clarify your quote "i do intakes for many cars"

Do you do this for a living? If so can you PM me the details of your workshop? I would like more details on the type of custom CAI you can make for my 1ZZ.

Cheers,

I love it when people do things properly. Correct hosing etc etc. ;)

Just letting you know guys I may end up going Apexi N1 (sorry brian, I'll still be representing bb's crew though lol) just due to the fact they are a little better priced than Spec III (I like the design a little better too). N1 Universal muffler. Be easier to mount as well (plus with the silencer they are a little more quiet).

Vitagen has an N1 and he said that even without the silencer it's not too bad.

I don't have that much $$$ atm. Otherwise buddyclub would be the go. I'll let you guys know how it goes once it's on, give me a few months lol.

I had HiTech at Paddo do a full exhaust system from the engine back on my first car (GTI Swift-haha!) and I was totally stoked with their work. Really nice gains, awesome sound...the only drawback is that they cost a fair bit more, but IMO it's definately worth it. I had a minor problem where one of the brackets came loose about 2 years after I got the system, and I just rocked up n they fixed it on the spot, no questions asked....Be keen to hear what people think who've had stivo's done by em....

my 2 cents

I must agree Hi-tech is the best place for mufflers/exhaust systems. the last time i had an exhaust done was for a turbo back system for my r34. They use only quality parts i.e stainless steel and madrel bends. The exhaust also added a big gain in performance.

I've only been to them once and all the work they performed on the rolla was nothing short of A1. The provided good customer service and charged me 380 for a catback exhaust system with a lukey muffler and tip where some other places were quoting me 450+..... i guess people have different experiences with different exhaust manufacturers, so just weigh up the odds.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.
