Need Muffler Advice please.

[Guest Nightsky]

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?

how was it tested? was it tested same as ADR standards?

what type of muffler you got now?

check your PM

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.

You're certainly asking this question in the right forum.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Guest Nightsky]

thanks guys,

I'll look into both your suggestions.

[Guest Nightsky]

yeah I probably should of put it in tech.........

[cereal]

Nah....only TWS know all about the ins & outs of a good, sexy muffler.

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".....

first thing is the i hope you don't have a straight thru muffler as these mufflers are the loudest. You'll need an oval shape muffler, this will quiten the noise level down but by how much i don't know

[ed]

nightsky, take a look at this on exhaust noise testing.

did you get a defect?

FRISKI: yep mine is straight through.

ed: Thanks, but I dont think that there is any point fighting it. I just want to get everything legal and hope they leave me alone.

They'll never leave you alone unless you leave your car at home, sad but true

Is it possible to get a silencer for your muffler?

also good for preventing loz and co. from dicking around your ass

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:

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...

[Zman]

jab a donut in there

is this wat the silencer looks like?

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.

[UR2EZ]

sweet will check em out..

cheers

[ed]

yep they are about $50 from livo exhaust.

[FRISKI]

silencer must be welded in so that they can't be removed and when epa do their testing they will just open the silencer up and do their test, but if the silencer is removable they will ask you to remove it before they test it

[akeenan]

hp will decrease with a silencer!
