CES Turbo Back Exhaust - Intro

I bought a second hand turbo back exhaust a couple weeks ago and haven't quite got around to installing it yet as I am still waiting on gaskets. But I got impatient so I removed the muffler and compared it to the new Magnaflow muffler.

The CES turbo back system is meant to be one of the best you can buy. They are an Australian company and can be found here http://www.cesracing.com.au/

I have been in contact with them previously and were happy to help me out despite me purchasing a second hand system. Very good customer service.

The system is 3 inch stainless steel with a Magnaflow high flow cat and muffler, CES designed dump pipe with a black coating to deal with high temperatures.

Very happy with the purchase

New and Old Mufflers

In the coming weeks I will install this and provide a how-to guide.

Dynamat Install and Removal and Installation of Door Trim

I was sick of my doors rattling everywhere over the slightest bump and buzzing when a song with bass came on, so I decided to install some Dynamat. I would highly recommend it for anyone with an older car especially if you have a decent sound system or hate road noise.

How to Install Dynamat on an S15 Silvia:

 1. Remove bottom screws

 2. Remove side screws

3. Remove side screws

4. Remove cover from handle and screw beneath

5. Remove cap and screw beneath

6. Remove cover

7. Gently pull door trim as shown - try to pivot around the tweeter

8. Remove switch from trim by gently prying off the clip

9. Unscrew the following

10. Remove plastic lining and glue - solvents may be required

11. Clean all surfaces that will have Dynamat applied

12. Mock up and "dry" fit the Dynamat - try using masking tape to hold in place while minor adjustments are made.

13. Cut through the Dynamat to allow cables through

14. Using a nail or similar, poke holes through Dynamat to where screws etc need to be placed

15. Repeat for the upper section -  avoid applying Dynamat near moving components (e.g. locking mechanism)

16. Re-install all components

Welcome to S15 Silvia Mods

Welcome to S15 Silvia Mods where we will take a look at modifying my 1999 Nissan S15 Silvia.

It was imported from Japan several years back and I am the second owner in Australia. When I bought it the only modifications the previous owner had done was to install a bleed valve and change the wheels to ROTA Grid's

Since owning it for 1.5 years I have only installed some simple mods including; security alarm, GPS/DVD player, and put Dynamat in my doors.

In the future I am looking to install a FMIC, turbo-back exhaust, etc. This blog is dedicated to past and present projects on my Silvia, so stay tuned.
