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:

Edited by illusiVe

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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
