are there any centre muffles/resonators in that system marcus, or just the rear can?

It's got some excuse for a 'resonator' behind the cat... if the pipe is 3.75", the 'resonator' is 4.1" round and about 10" long.

So, more or less just the rear can :P

You can work out how much flow you'll get almost exactly with some simple maths. Multiply the radius (1/2 diameter) by Pi to get the area which equates to how much it'll flow. For example:

 Exhaust		   Area		(x2)
diameter"		  sq"
 2.5			 4.91		9.82
 2.75			5.94	   11.88
 3			   7.07	   14.14
 3.5			 9.62	   19.24
 4			  12.57	   25.14 (ha!)

So as Nxtime showed above, 2x2.5" exhaust has nowhere near the flow of 1x4" pipe.

Hey,

I had one custom made by a friend with stainless everything for my R32 GTR. It was around $1500 in materials,

and $400 for 2 x 3" catco stainless cats. He said that he'd do the same thing for someone else for $4k.

Dual 3" off the standard dumps, through cats, to 4" through a 4" resonator and a 4" muffler.

He had to fabricate the resonator and the muffler because we couldn't find anything big enough at the time

and 105dB @ 3700 was too loud for the coppers. It's 95dB @ 3700 now (which is still too loud, but I don't get

pulled over anymore).

Then I lowered it as per the SK GB recommended settings. 355mm/345mm centre-guard (I think!); I think it's now too low.

The resonator touches the ground where there are lumps in the road. I would pull the resonator out and just put a bit

of 4" pipe back there, but...

I'm considering selling it to pay for the new exhaust that will be required for my new T04Z. PM me if you're interested;

I'll take a photo of it (it's off the car at the moment) and put it in the relevant for-sale section. I'm thinking of getting something

in an oval section to get the flow without the clearance issues...

Regards,

Saliya

I believe Autostyle take all their cars to www.bestmufflers.com whom gives a guarantee (to within 5%) of the db output before any work begins. I was talking to the owner of a 500rwkw R32 GTR owner on friday nite whom got his work done their and it didnt appear to go over about 88db.

Hey guys, I'm interested to know, what kind of power are you all looking at putting out with a 3.5 to 4 inch system??

I'm only looking at putting a 3 inch on my 33 GTS-T at the moment as it'll be the car's first major mod, but I am looking to eventually have 300 to 400 rwKW's once I've spent a lot more elsewhere.

I am interested to know as I'm not sure whether to got a cheaper bolt on system for now & then buy a custom 3.5 inch one later when I'm ready. Otherwise if all I need for this kind of power is a 3 inch system, I'll go custom now.

Any input would be appreciated. Cheers

i was talking to my exhaust guy, and most aus shops dont really stock 3.5" piping.. its a shame really..

even worse was my old Kakimoto running 3.25 " .. very hard to find a resonator in that size .

going to have to look into a twin 3" system in mine once the rb30 goes in, single now is way too loud, but brand new so i'll try and squeeze another 3" down under there aswell

4 grand for an exhaust system.. haha maybe i should charge people more than wat i do...

either way

4inch mandrel bends = 50 bux each retail is 75 bux from memory?

3 meters of 4inch stainless = i cant member thinking 200 to 250

4inch straight thru cannon = 300 bux (magnaflow i think it is that made mine)

5inch body'd cat 4inch in and out = 300? i think

flanges cost i think 15-20 bux each.. cant remember

so.. roughly 1150 for all materials needed add another 300 for a flat 4inch straight thru muffler for under the car if ya want the 2 mufflers.. than prolly 350-400 to tig weld together and mount.. not all that expensive for a custom 4inch cat back including cat if ya ask me..

making a cat back for a car takes f*ck all time.. longest part of it all would be welding it all if ya ask me..

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
