you'd be better off just putting a silencer in the rear, like what most systems come with. no cutting, and much cheaper.

thats what i was thinking but for some reason the blitz nur spec dosnt come with one...at least the one im buying....

and if i do get a silencer.....how much would it restrict my power?

hrmmmm.....maybe im better off getting a different cat back.....any suggestions?

i know of the HKS Silent HiPower one.....but i like a deep sounding note to my exhausts....how silent is the hks one?

I had the same exhuast, it still failed EPA with the silencer in by 2db... i had to install another resinator into the system either that or install a mid muffler.

By installing the silencer your car will aslo stop making power at a certain rwkw like mine did..

noise and restriction are proportionate. I don't care what anyone says about their quiet system that doesn't cause a restriction.

Basically, it will be more restrictive if you make it quieter. The question is HOW MUCH that restriction affects your GIVEN POWER OUTPUT.

Personally, I run a straight 3" pipe. Most possible power, minimum possible restriction.

BTW, I have an ecv in my car. It's very restrictive. The car feels like it accelerates about half as fast. you can watch the revs climb if you stamp it, and it is really choking. Whereas, in first, if I normally floor it, the rev needle just smacks straight up to the red.

Regarding the rear plug in silencer (buttplug), i find mine to be quite restrictive like the ecv.

Regarding the centre muffler - refer to my first point regarding noise and restriction.

btw, ecv is not 200

firstly, it's 300$. you need the 81mm version if you have a 3" exhaust.

Then you need an exhaust shop to cut off one of your flanges, then weld in the ecv.

It's u to you whether you want to quieten it down. personally, i want it as loud as possible.

Why do you want the Blitz?

The Trust Power Extreme II is very quiet but still gives off an awesome growl when you give it to it. I believe it is also 88dB alone (stock dump + front pipe) as well, so all legal. (Info from Trust site)

Dont waste your time with the apexi evc i hav it and had nothing but problems with it so its now wired fully open.. spend the extra cash and get yourself a legal exhaust system.. best iv seen are CES exhaust systems in brisbane.. they will hav a system in stock to suit your car and guarentee legal db's and 20+kw gain...

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
