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.

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
