i know i saw it somewhere. i will sus it out and let you know. the only skyline i've heard that wouldn't be over the db rating would be my mates. it has a 3" jasma with the double muffler. it has a center resonater and the rear muffler is an oval muffler. it goes into the muffler as 1 pipe, then in the muffler it splits into 2 pipes then comes back out as one. basically like an overtaking line on a road but with a wall down the center.

mines pretty quiet...

Neighbours dont have to much of an issue with it :D

JustJap/Steve,

Can I get an idea of how many dB the full turbo back xforce exhaust is? Have you guys done any tests on ones you've installed??

Anyone actually - wondering whether it'd still be "legal" - 90dB (i believe) in NSW..

might go get one done on the weekend. father in law works at an exhaust shop. will do a test with silencer in and out. i have split dump, 3" front pipe and cat, 3.5" x-force cat back and muffler is 3" x-force cannon. still has center muffler. i know it is supposed to be legal but i really doubt it. my father in law's falcon has a standard 2.5" sports system with both mufflers and it is quieter than mine and his is on the limit. but the only way to properly test is to do it the ADR way. it is as follows-

cones are placed at a predetermined distance, with a vehicle being accelerated through them at full throttle in a certain gear (usually 3rd). the peak db reading from the meter (a predetermined distance away) is recorded. runs in both directions are done, and a radar gun is used to ensure entry speed is around 55kmh.

a stock xr6 turbo is 87db, and a stock xr6t with just the center muffler removed, but stock piping size only just comes under at 89db.

Cheers guys..

If anyone has the details on it that would be great.. anyone had an sound tests done..

if I get it replaced i'll keep my stock one in case of getting defected

ive heard justin911's car, and i doubt its legal...

mine on the other hand would be :D

Ok guys, I have come to a conclusion about the exhaust (after doing some really exhausting research! >_< ).

I have decided to stick with BATMBL r33 split dump/front pipe (s/steel) and the CATCO 3 inch large Cat - about $620. And for the Cat back I have decided to go with the APEX-I Bomber from BT-Revolution - about 750. (havent put the orders in yet though).

Total comes to about $1370 before fitting.

What do y'all think about this? Good combination?

i paid $400 for 3.5" cat back at mates rates. but that was still above cost by a bit. and that the price for the 3". ordered a 3" and got 3.5" at same price.

i have seen the x-force cat back systems on ebay for i think it was $599 for 3" and $699 for 3.5"........or it was $499 and $599....either way there was $100 difference.

im gettin my exhaust from exhaust technology in SA and they are freighting it up to me. (in western syd)

3" straight thru from turbo back with highflow cat (removable) with straight thru pipe to Apexi manual ECV to dual 3" tip.

turbo> 3" dump/front -> removable cat/race pipe->3" pipe ->Apexi ECV-> Dual 3" tip :D

think its $1400 to my door.. ill heatwrap it then install it myself in about 30 mins :D

stainless steal :ermm:

when x-force advertises that theyr exhausts are: "below 90db" or whatever the legal limit is... that is measured with the silencer on I'm pretty sure. It's over the limi without the silencer.

Still good value for money exhaust though! Thats what I'm getting.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
