I am thinking of doin' a lil somethin' somethin' to my car,
Ive read posts on certain issues, but now im confused! :nuts:

Has anyone replaced the muffler or exhuast on it and found
it worth while? (i didnt want those 'popping sounding mufflers) but
just a deep note? Lukey or Magnaflow? Not sure whether just
to get the muffler or wait until i have the money and get it
done from the cat-back.

Also, anyone sold their Enkkei standard rims? Just so i know
how much i could sell them for when i get bigger rims. And
would you go 18' or 19'?

Also, not sure whether to get CAI or just get a K&N panel filter. Only
reason being is that where the pod rests on the lower part
of the car, im worried about it one day getting water sucked
up in their in a big puddle or something. Has anyone had any probs
with this?

Thanx for anyone who helps.
:confused:

kk, if your thinking of TH Smokers CAI, this will NOT fit, the front bar doesnt let it get down there... shame, but i used half of the kit, and its definatly worth it

secondly, if you do go CAI, make SURE you get hte $180 pod from anthony or similar, its the ONLY one that works... tried a few cheaper ones (was being a tightass) and to no avail, spen the $$$ sounds good

thirdly, ive got a custom SS exhaust, with custom SS extractors, and it sounds AWESOME. not sure of any gains, as i havnt had it on a dyno, but revs up heaps quicker, sounds awesome... like a real phat roar... top stuff

still got me stock enkeis on, but would be able to sell for $1200+ i imagine with good rubber :D

hope this helped

Thanx SEIRYU,

Did you just go into a random exhuast performance
place for the exhaust? I was thinking of going to RPW,
seeing as they do alot of magna work. im fairly new
to the whole mod thing.

Also, do you have the extra lip thing under the front wig of your
Ralli? I was thinking of getting it, but for $600 for the part
without paint or fitting, im too hesetant to buy it as it
looks like it wil rip off in two days from something lol

BTW; what ar TH smokers? lol (i know that might sound stupid) :D

TH Smoker is a member on here :D

i didnt go to a random shop, one of my good mates in SA owns a well regarded performance shop so i went to him to get it done, me extractors were a custom job done by mike who used to design the genie extractors when they were good, he started his own shop in sa, and wanted to do them for the magna's so i lent him my car for a few days for him to press them up for me, all worked out sweet as, HEAPS more torque over the standard ralliart extractors, and a tough note from the exhaust :D

Theres not much performance gain to be had from changing the exhaust on a Ralliart.

I changed it a total of five times on my first Ralliart to minimal gains.

If you want a nice deep note, all i suggest to do is what i have done to my current Ralliart and that is to replace just the rear muffler (no piping change) to a big Cannon muffler. Sounds fantastic with no droning.

I have a CAI intake with a pod filter that sounds good and seems to improve performance. Contact EZBoy as he did the work and makes the parts and it works really well.

I put RPW Stage 3 race extractors on the first Ralliart and found them usefell as well.

The other good bolt on mod is EZBoy's throttle body

Really depends on how much you want out of the car.

The best thing you can do is what i have done to both my Ralliarts and thats throw a UNICHIP in.

Do all this and you have a 14 flat quarter time if you can drive the car right, just ask TZABOY (aka SP#03) as thats how i delivered the car to him.

If you need any further info, contact me.

Yeah, at the moment i just wanted a nice deep note, if im gonna be spending
some good money, ill have to make it a xmas pressie for my car.
lol

About the CAI. I want to do it but as my question went,
im worried about it one day getting water sucked
up in their in a big puddle or something. Has anyone had any probs
with this?

Where does the pod sit?

Unless you put some form of turbo on your piping, the chances of sucking water into your pod are nil. Its an Urban Myth.

On the first Ralliart, the pod sat in the front bar next to the gills on the passenger side and i never had a problem.

On this Ralliart, it sits in an EZBoy pod box up in the engine bay with some 100mm piping feeding air into it.

In both cases, no problems and nothing sucked into it except nice, fresh, cold air.

I had been told that some of the piping in the ralliart
goes down to 2 1/4. Would i be able to have a CAI,
and change the muffler? or would i have to replace the small pipes
with 2.5 as well?

nope, can just do the muff if you want :D

CAI is at the front of the car, TOTALLY seperate from the exhaust...

i know i know :D
cheers.

Might get the CAI and change the muffler at the back for now.
but a cannon muffler? not too sure about that. Wouldnt it
look kinda weird or is it just me? :confused:

I thought cannons were mostly useful for turbo cars. wouldnt
that loose back pressure?

nope, just looks ricey & not MY cup of tea...

hmmm. i think ill leaver cannons for the ricers lol

hmmm. i think ill leaver cannons for the ricers lol
hey, leave my cannon alone lol

Are the gauges on the A pillar rice as well????

yes, TZA you are a ricer.... :bowrofl:

Oh man! now im not sure lol

I guess it depends on how it looks. And that look good :cool:

Do you get those 'popping sounds' coming from the muffler
that sounds like ralli cars?

i get a phat rumble coming from mine...

mines a straight through twin tip, like a cannon, just without the ricer look (lol TZA & Ralliart Boy)

']yes, TZA you are a ricer.... :bowrofl:
WOOHOO!!! go me!



Do you get those 'popping sounds' coming from the muffler

Nah dude, just a nice burble-a little loud at times but thats only if you've been thrashing around and the pipes get really really hot

Hey TZABoy, what size rims you got
on that thing? and wats the gauge for messuring?

he's pimpin da 20"s there man...

thats the best pic ive seen them in... lookin hawt....


(apart from the rice accessories... lol)

Hey TZABoy, what size rims you got

I've got 20's on my ralliart :cool:
The gauges read oil preasure and air/fuel ratio
The oil presure gauge is kinda good so u know when the car is fully up to temperature. The both used to be up the A pillar till a nice cop chick in the city told me i should taken them off or i'll get a smack, so now from outside all u can see is the oil presure and the air/fuel is sort of hidden between the big gauge and the door tweeter

where abouts is the 'A pillar'?

its the pillar between the front windscreen and the front drivers door, it goes from the dash up to the roof.. ricers put their guages on them jks

where abouts is the 'A pillar'?
the A pillar is the front pillar of your car. between the windscreen and the front door

right,k. so how far up cant you put it?

in sa they will have a go regardless of how hight they are...

they are a danger... could smack your head on them in the event of an accident...

stupid i know... :nuts:

NSW will be different... thicker heads over there... :bowrofl:

right,k. so how far up cant you put it?
no higher than the steering wheel, and u dont really want them higher because it blocks your line of sight, thus being a defect

[QUOTE=

:) Ive been looking for replacement rims for my car, but i
just cant make up my mind. I cant go any bigger than 18"s
cos just dont have the funds :doubt:

I was thinking AMG or ROH Fury's, but then i think shadow chrome
are better suited on silver cars. Not sure about chrome on silver.

chrome on silver looks rather poo IMHO... not a huge fan of bling...

i was going to go 19" black with polished bits... that was the best option IMHO, that way, even if you went only 18" black always appears bigger, and sets off the silver with black door handles etc.. then just tint it man, and she's SWEET

BTW; i got quoted $550 for a CAI job. Is that
an average price?

depends what your doing. just get a 100mm flex pipe, take your exisiting snorkle off and plumb the pipe to somewhere near the fins on the bumper. i should of done that but i went a pod-woops

Hey Seafood...
If TZAs a ricer what does that make Ralliartboy?? haha lol
Is there anything more than a ricer?

Ive got tint already, although its only the 'darkest'
legal. I wanted to go darker but then there is
always that insurance thing and the cops. Just
cant be bothered.

Ive already gone through a booze bus location
and they didnt stop me and i have a big vinyl
on my windscreen. i felt lucky. :cool:

So just a pipe with no filter?
(am i reading wrong?) :confused:

yep, he means he still has the stock air box, took off the snorkle (that goes to the front of the bumper at the radiator) then piped from airbox to the fins of the bodykit... make sense?

lets not go there... :doubt:


:bowrofl:

Looking good SP#03.

And yep SP#01, im a ricer from way back whether be a Skyline, Magna.......or Corona !!!


Low, Cannon, gauges, clear tailights, big rims, TV's........hmmmmm....now im hungry....more rice anyone ??

mmm rice is nice...

lol youve seen what im going to...

sif a lancer with altezza's, pearl paint job, chrome rims is rice though... :shifty:

:doubt:

its rice seafood, nice rice :bowrofl:

Hey SP#02, do you think the SP#02's Ralliart might one day be quicker than SP#03's? Or do you think SP#03 might have reached his peak?

Oh and out of curiosity, how does one become SP#04? lol

Hey TZA, what brand muffler did ya put on?

Hey TZA, what brand muffler did ya put on?


I put the muffler on when i owned it and it is an X-Force.

The muffler looks and sounds so good that i put the exact same one on my current Ralliart.

Looking at around $350

Who sells these? is it X-force itself or can exhaust places get them in?

:bowrofl:


I get it now :)

So basicly there is no need for a pod?

depend on how you want to do it...

my pod sits just near the thermo fan, and there is a NOTED increase in power...

got piping (steel) from the throttle body, with the MAF extended to have the pod & maf right up the front, sounds & feels HEAPS better

TZA did his a different way

tomato tomato

would anyone happen to have any pics of their intakes
or others?

ill see if i can get one in teh near future for you :D

search for TH Smoker in the members list, thats what ive got, should have his CAI link in his sig :D

THE CAI LINK (http://members.dodo.net.au/~thsmoker/cai/diycai.html)

Would you use a circular pod or an oval one?

Would you use a circular pod or an oval one?
NO NO NO NO NO

dont use circular pods... i experimented with two before heading to the oval one...

circular pods will result in a power loss...

teh oval one is dear, $180, BUT it is the only one that will fit well...

i was being a tightass, but finally got hte oval one.... +1 FTW~!

Ive got these pics from RPW on how their
CAI works. similar?

from those pics it looks like almost exactly the same thing...

this probably WONT fit ralliarts, same as the TH SMoker kit doesnt...

']from those pics it looks like almost exactly the same thing...

(i havent really looked lately at my engine bay) but, is that
because the piping is too big or just isnt any space at all for it?

(i havent really looked lately at my engine bay) but, is that

piping fits fine, mines actually larger than the one shown there

but there is no where for the pod to sit under the car... you have crossmember & front bar in teh way....

AAAAaahhh ****e! :rant:

no way of getting around that i suppose?
How would the guys fit it at PRW?, guess
ill have to ring them and find out.

Cheers for help peoples. :clap: :cool:

do what i did

use half the CAI kit TH Smoker sells, rest it behind teh thermo fan (cold there) then get some other piping or modify your origional snorkel to scoop up air & throw it up on the pod...

thats the way :thumbsup:

or failing that, do what TZA suggested, keep all the stock shiat there, and pipe from the air box down to the gills on the side of your kit... that sounds easier & cheaper by far

good luck, have fun, stay cool

........just....writing...this........down........ ......done! :D

cheers mate, will be interesting to see what i end up with :badgrin:
