Default Exhaust upgrade for Skyline

Initially, Skyline was fully stock. The factory exhaust was not good enough. I had to order the exhaust for it. I found bit used Skyline R33's Exhaust on ebay.

It was HKS Super Dragger Exhaust system
3" Cat back exhaust. Decat is not allowed in Australia , so I kept it under the regulations and street legal.

My exhaust when it arrived I painted the pipe with high temp paint just to make it look nice:



One of my mate at this garage let me use his tools to life the car up so that I can work on it.
I couldn't find the seals exactly for the same to join the muffler to the pipe so I used this thing called : Seal Cement and it is working perfect with no leaks at all.

Once I finshed working I was able to take a photo with my phone's camera, not the best but does the job:

They want cleaner environment that is the only reason, if you decat the exhaust gases might have some lead in it and Aussies are already prone to many skin diseases

@ rahul, why don't you get measured exhaust headers installed?, not only will it sound better, but i bet it'll increase the performance too..or are they illegal as well, i shouldn't think so, because it doesent affect the installation of the cataylitic converter..!
