Need Muffler Advice please.

I am searching for a muffler for my car. The basic idea is to have it as quiet as possible, while losing the least amount of power.

At the moment the exhaust is 3 inch turbo back to the resonator at the rear. This made 100db which needs to come down at least 10dbs and hopefully a fair bit more.

I have heard of a few high flowing mufflers but dont know which ones to choose.....

Any recommendations please?

Nightsky: Ring Lambros at Hi tech Darlinghurst on 9332 3524 tell him you spoke to me and let him know what you need. He will tell you whats required. My 200sx was 115db and he sorted it out nicely so it passed an EPA inspection.

hehe, where to start? A silencer will help u pass inspections and get it nearly as quiet as stock, although i hear theres a new rule about them having to be welded in?

I had an idea to use 2 big resonators and a straight thru rear muffler, it will look funny but its an idea.

zman: it'll take me 2secs and a spanner to get that silencer out.....no one is safe! :lol:

This was the best place to post by far......Frank & Loz will be able to give you their recommendations from hours & hours of extensive "research".....

gimme 1 hours and i would have completed my "DEEP REASEARCH"

give loz 1 week and he would have just barely scraped the surface of his :)

hahahahahahahaaa

LOZ WEARS SHORT SHORTS !!!!

serious note: im interested to know where u can buy silencers from ??? when i got mine it didnt come with one bu there is a screw hold for one to fit in...

Loz: I heard the same thing about having to weld silencers in..... not sure though.

UR2EZ: You can get silencers from most exhaust shops. I'm fairly sure Liverpool exhaust has them.

Zman: Yep thats it. I think its a roughly the same diameter as a pea shooter that runs inside the length of your muffler bypassing the actuall resonator/muffler if thats what the term is.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
