I was looking under my car tonight, and noticed I have 2 mufflers.

I wouldn't mind my exhaust being a little louder, so if I took the middle muffler out and left the back one, would it sound better?

What would removing it do to the exhaust note?

Cheers :rolleyes:

My exhaust goes something like this.

cat - hotdog resonator - box muffler - polished jobbie at the back.

All this to keep the dB at a safe EPA level. All components are straight through design so there is little difference in power (about 5-6rwkw) between one or all three mufflers.

Mind you, if you can handle the droning on the freeway at 110km/hr nothing sounds better than a straight pipe with single muffler on the tail.

Z.

i just got my middle muffler and resonator removed

and replaced with 3 inch piping from the cat straight to my trust muffler

it sounds awesome , a much louder tone on idle and acceleration sounds like a beast! no droning which i thought there would be but it surprised me! next on my list hehehehehe dump and highflow cat hehee and the cheekiness of a Cat-Out pipe hehe

I removed the resonator from my car not long ago. Makes the car sound a little louder but i notice more backfiring when backing off the throttle every now n then. Does make it sound neater tho, but not hugely noticeable... If you want it to be loud run a 3" system no resonator into a straight through muffler, then it will houl.

for mine ... the long exhaust pipe splits into 2 smaller pipes just before going into the big muffler at the back ... does anyone know if this is a good or bad one?? its got that jasma sign on it too so it must be certified ... its a very quiet exhaust ... can hardly hear it but its 3" pipe down the middle ... any good??

Jasma is a Blitz sub-ordinate company, kind of like Lightning Audio is a Rockford Fosgate product simply marketed as a different company, so your hard-earned dollars end up in the same hands.

My R33 GTS-t came to Australia with this exhaust already fitted (like most), and it is 3" in diameter turbo back, however it is very quiet, so I am of the assumption it is restrictive.

If your's is the same, and you're serious about kw, do what I'm doing - UPGRADE!

Lambros Hi-Tech Mufflers in Sydney claim 25rwkw from their 3" stainless turbo back system - that's impressive in anyone's language. They claim that it's not too bad on the ears, either.

Cost is around $2100 fitted in 2 1/2 hours.

Worth a thought...

What the.................. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have no idea where you heard that, or what clueless hippy told you that, but that's so completely wrong I actually laughed out loud :P

JASMA (Japanese Automobile Sports Muffler Association) is a Japanese Association that "certifies" exhausts made by Japanese companies that conform to their very strict noise level guidelines.

For example, I have a JASMA apporved C-West exhaust.

Case Study: HKS Super Dragers are JASMA approved, but the HKS Drager 2 only conforms to JASMA noise limits with the restrictor in. The HKS Hiper doesn't conform to JASMA noise limits at all!!! :bahaha: :bahaha: :bahaha:

I hope that clears up any misconceptions you have about those pretty "JASMA" plates that are found on some Japanese exhausts...

First I put in a 3"cat Back, resonator with 5" tip. Droned and was much louder $400

Second I had the front half done with 2nd Hand Hi-Flow cat. No Drone but still $450

The back half of the cat crapped its self so I had it gutted (for now, no cost). Drone's again, and is louder still.

Don't mind the sound.........but starting to shit me when I am not upping it.

Small increase noticed with cat back.

Bigger increase with Turbo back.

Even bigger still with the way it is now.

Was looking at one of those Spiral resonator's next just to quiet it down a bit.

Car sounds louder inside than outside.

The less restriction the better.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
