I'd definitely look at getting more than just the rear muffler. It's fine for when you're accelerating or slowing down, but when you're driving at constant throttle (such as on the freeway or cruising around town), the extra size and shape of the wagon body does make it too loud.

I love the way my car sounds when I'm giving it a good rev (and have had nothing but positive comments from everyone I know), but when you're just chilling out it's really tiring to hear that drone. I'm going to have a good look at my exhaust soon (I've never really taken a good look at how it's comprised), and am going to get another silencer on to kill the droning...

Still in the process of putting a good but not too expensive sound system together, which should releive some of the noise issue.

Has any one seen, or heard one of these in action? Not sure how effective they would be, just block the exhaust off to various degrees to muffle it...

There was one installed on a Stagea I had inspected at auction, had GTR IC and a few too many other mods that scared me off though!

This Link might be a little easier for you to read

ok let me get this clear....

resonator, silencer, muffler... differences?

cos i was thinking this - turbo, dump pipe, cat, resonator, split pipe, twin mufflers (cannons).

i have NO idea.

and good to see that bar painted andy, looks sweet. goddam no roofracks...

Exhausts are not as easy as "add this and this"

Resonators are just that, tubes that cut down the volume of certain resonant frequencies (lets refer to them as certain RPM)

Mid mufflers and rear mufflers are mufflers (hence, muffle) the sound.

You need to be very careful when choosing a reso as you need to choose one to cut down specific RPM. Id try to get one for ~2200-2700 and ~3000-3500 as i found when I had my xforce system that they were the most droney places.

The wagon is a bitch, being a single cabin you hear EVERYTHING the exhaust does and also amplifies the sound.

The route that I would take these days (after experiance with 3 different exhausts) is either

- (The louder exhaust) Split dump/front, one of the metal cats, mid muffler, resonator, twin straight pipe tips (no rear muffler)

- (The more quite exhaust) Split dump/front, one of the metal cats, mid muffler, magna flow rear muffler

- (The ultimate exhaust) Split dump/front then straight pipe to the end of the car, twin 2.5inch tips (I love twins)

You can also have twin resonators installed as mentioned above.

PS - When i first bought my fuji exhaust, it sounded good on idle. Now it has a popping noise (not like a back fire, more "dry fart" like) and i suspect its from me possibly melting the glass packing inside the muffler..........anyone know if this is fixable at all?

goddammit you guys... i thought this was going to be the EASY part... ok then. might go the top option, as id say that may be the best option for having it split into two at the back, one to each side. if im not thrilled with the amount of noise, i can still put a rear muffler on each?

tough luck on the easy part buddy. took me weeks to understand the terms these guys use.

Anyway always go for the bigger size exhaust just in case if next time you would want to power up your car next time.

im thinking a cannon either side, or split pipes either side like that. like the VIP celsior, or soarer look. with a mid muffler and a resonator for around 3-3500, and maybe one for 2-300. sound right? too much?

I like twin-tips too, whether it's the twin angle cuts like Alex has posted, or one on each side. Two cannons (in either of these configurations) would look nice on a Stagea, I reckon.

well twin pipes looks better with the body works that the stageas. it looks more need i suppose.

a big 115mm pipe looks macho but it looked a bit out of place like ans ass hanging out of a tight skirt

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
