Looking for advice on quiet (under 98 Db drive by at full throttle, on track, measured trackside) systems. I have tried a Trust / Greddy Power extreme II which made 102 Db, a doubling of the perceieved noise allowed, so no good at all, and nor is an HKS Hiper Silenced, with a similar noise level. It's the fairly large turbine size I am running, I guess, that's the issue. The exhuast that's on it is a bit ropey, and mild steel. No ID on it, obviously commercially made, but I have never seen one like it before, it came on the car as bought. I need to have a replacement for it soon, and on the new engine about to go in the turbine housing will be bigger, the capacity bigger, and a lot more cam and revs.... Do I need to make a custom system? Do you have noise issues in Oz? How do you meet them without killing too much power?

Thanks.

Holy crap...102db? I have an external gate and i dotn get pinged when at the track, i think they are checkign for 95dB???

What turbo setup are you running? ID be tempted to go twin system, with twin mufflers. You can pack it up nice and tight to the underside, you can the flow benefits of a 4" system and you can share the gasses accross two mufflers

..LOL well the theory sounds good on paper :)

If you wanna make it quiet, twin system is the way to go. All the gains... none of the noise

And its gonna be a custom job and pricey

All the big HP GTR's here in melb are doing it

Twin goes ok into the GTR floorpan aswell.

Not sure on the GTS-t layout, but it couldnt be any worse :)

Im doing the same aswell

I believe they mean from the cat two pipes run towards the rear of the car. So two pipes and two mufflers. I believe if its 2x 2.5" that equals to about one single 4" pipe?

I've considered doing this as well but can't imagine it being too cheap.

Since we're on the topic of exhaust (sorry to OP, don't mean to hijack) is a 3.5" fine for a GTT? Or should I just got 3"? I'm afraid 3.5" might be 'too' big?

siba33 - Twin... wether that be a single dump or twin dumps (single or twin turbo) and then have it twin all the way to the rear.

With a cross-over pipe somewhere along the line.

2 cats (smaller obviously) and then 2 or 4 mufflers somewhere along the system depending on whatever you choose with the exhaust shop etc.

No such thing as "too" big for a turbo car IMO.

You could always get it made out of titanium.

I have a Fujitsubo system. Not sure what it's called but I was at a shop once and there was a car there with it so I said I want that one and they got it for me.

My system is 3" from the turbo back (GTT) and is not restrictive. I have 255rwkw at only 0.9 bar of boost from a highflow turbo so I think that proves it's lack of restriction. 3.5" is just louder if you ask me but in terms of power you can't relly go wrong going bigger.

Anything that's 3.5" or over is a bastard to shut up. In my .sig I have an 100mm exhaust that flows, for sale, but I've

never measured it trackside on full noise. It's 95db @ 3500 no load, (with cats/resonator/muffler)...

On the back of a napkin:

2 x 3" exhausts (ok, 2.82") should flow as much as a single 4"

So if you could find a 3" exhaust configuration that was 95dB on full noise, 2 of them _should be_ 98dB.

Some things to think about:

* are most of your competitors within the 98dB limit? If not, how loud are they on full noise trackside?

* you'll probably only get pinged if you're noticeably louder than other cars in your class or your competitors complain.

* are other car noises (induction/tyre/gearbox/etc) included in the level? If not, how are they eliminated?

* if you're in with a bunch of other cars, there's no way they can measure just you :D

* if you're alone in front, button off past the measuring device

I've heard plenty of racecars that are louder than 98dB (this seems to happen a lot with rotors

and smaller-capacity engines). I've only ever seen one car get chucked off the starting grid

because it was too loud, but I've seen a few get pinged because competitors complained.

There are a few genuine competitors on this forum, might be worth

PMing them for their experiences as threads can sometimes get lost in the noise...

I'd probably try building a twin 3" system, then add muffling till the competitors stop complaining.

Regards,

Saliya

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
