2 Mufflers


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

just wanted to advise on my exhaust system:

kokimoto cat back

front pipe

2 mufflers

no dump and i think its a stock cat

i wanted to get my exhuast system updated

i wanted to get a dump or a new front pipe

and i wanted or i heard that if i get rid of the 2nd muffler it will be less restrictive and my car will go harder????

and i was thinking of putting a new high flow cat??

i got a quote and to do this will cost roughly $600

high flow cat and dump and remove 2nd muffler do u think its worth it or should i leave it??? will my car eat more fuel???

the exhaust on a turbo should be as free-flowing as possible for obvious reasons. we do not rely on back-pressure in the system like the n.a. cars which is why the n1 systems from apexi and such are just really a straight pipe from the cat back.

high flow cat would free up air flow, as would no cat. but i'm guessing u wouldn't wanna run without a cat.

n less mufflers = less restriction + lighter = faster car.

    • And yes would be going to tomei Japan for sure as it’s closer to me … 
    • Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong. 
    • https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.
    • PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.
    • This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
