Exhaust System

 

Commercially available exhaust systems are few and far between.  It's not that they don't exist, it's just that most vendors don't even know what is available for the all trac/gt-four.  We have listed for you part numbers, and some thoughts that might help you decide which is best for you.

Aussie Exhaust System

Aussie Exhaust has developed a high flowing and high quality system for us.  At this time, the system only fits ST185 however.  The system is stainless steel and high flowing.  This is probably the easiest exhaust system to get.  It's a bolt on affair.  Two muffler styles are offered.

 They are mendrel bend and TIG welded for durability.  The cost and wait involved with importing directly from japan is usually a problem.  These are 2nd cat back systems except for the NUR spec, rear section only.  On these Blitz systems they go by internal pipe diameter.  To get a full diameter figure add about 5mm.

HKS Sport Exhaust System  (2nd Cat Back) 

This is the most commonly used exhaust, at least in North America.  It used to be rather expensive, but was the only bolt on available and in stock from most tuners.  It does have a long life span as many have found.  Some have complained of knocking sounds once installed.  This is probably due to the fact that it was made as a more universal exhaust than a direct fitting piece.  It features aluminized steel and mendrel bent piping.  It is also legal.

Part# LET-T05    ST165/ST185 Universal  

 

HKS Hi-Power Muffler 75mm Piping 120mm Tip

HKS "Race" System, incorporates the least amount of bends as possible.  Must be imported, but with Blitz selling at a higher price, this might be a good alternative.  Considered off road only usage.  Stainless steel muffler, with ceramic coated steel piping.  This system is also quiter than the rest.

ST205 PN# 3106-ST011

Universal PN #3106-EX007  $220 (universal muffler only)

APEX N1 Race System  85mm Pipe 115mm Tip 160mm Muffler

APEX also uses the least amount of necessary bends as possible.  The entire system is rather expensive.  For those on a budget try the universal N1 Muffler which you can have installed at any exhaust shop.  The N1 system is known for it's rather loud appeal.  Features large diameter stainless steel piping.  It is an off road only type exhaust system.
