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.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
