How loud is the noise supposed to be, i just got a 5x8 Xforce muffler fitted, still 2" piping and the noise is quite loud inside the car - possibly louder than outside. Would adding deadener to the boot help stop this?

What size is the stock exhaust piping?

I've got one of those funky dual tipped exhausts, with a side that opens up.

Not sure what it means, but it certainly looks pretty cool :)

On my series 1 it's about 2", i think series 2's have 2.25".

Are you sure you've got one of the mechanical mufflers? I thought they were only on S2 models, i just took mine off the other day and it only had the twin tips, no moving parts.

Yeah, that's what I thought!

Mine looks a bit big for a 2", but it probably is.

Definately has the mechanical moving bit, though.

I've fiddled with it, fun little toy, haha.

I'm 99.99% sure I have a S1, though... Maybe an aftermarket mod?

I'll take pictures tonight :yes:

Or you could just put a better muffler on it :P

I did realise that it was a straight through design, it also stated "Fibreglass packing for effective noise suppression" so i assumed that would cut down on drone. Any suggest on mufflers which will sound better than the tinny rattle my stock one has, but without the drone?

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
