I have a 3 inch turbo back exhaust with a cannon tip muffler...dont have the cash to replace the whole system...not that theres anything wrong with it....but recently i bought an apexi dunk megaphone muffler which i intend to use....however it comes with a 4 inch inlet and 115mm tip....is that going to get me a yellow sticker?

i thought as long as it hangs a certain height of the ground its ok.. and as long as it passes emmission/db reading.

height from ground ...i can get the exhaust shop to weld bracket hooks so it sits well and snug maybe even partially hidden..

as for db...im hoping it sound quieter than the cannon...which at present is as loud as #%^&

btw...anyone know of a good exhaust shop in perth NOR ...?

custom exhaust specialist in osborne park wont fit 2nd hand mufflers

if ya any where near mindarie ...mindarie custom exhausts are good and well priced :D

as Ska has said,your only legal concerns are ground clearance,and Dba output.

design is irrelevant as far as legality is concerned.

my car runs twin 2" cannon and dual pipes from the cat back. it's pretty quiet,and has awesome ground clearance,with good flow,although it's a bit smaller than the usual 3" alternative.

Actually, the flow of twin 2 inchs pipes is not as good as a single 3 inch.

2 inchs = 12.5 sq inches

2 x 12.5 = 25 sq inches

2 inches = 28.3 sq inches

Twin 2.25inchs+ however have more flow.

2.25 inches = 15.9 sq inches

2 x 15.9 = 31.8 sq inches

I work in Scarborough so looking for somewhere nearby where i can drop the car off to have the muffler fitted and pick it up on the way home.

Ian Diffens at Osb Park quoted $200 for the job...not sure about the quality of works though...dont really mind the split donut pipe works ..just worried about them using the bender and crushing the pipes coz i dont think they do mandrel

I think that maths is flawed, one too many 2's in there :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the db limits you are looking for are:

Pre 1986 - 96db

Post 1986 - 92db

...but then some of you werent even born pre 86 so you wouldnt recognise 96db coming out of a straight thru 2inch system on the mini or a set of twin hotdogs bolted to a set of yella terra extractors on Torana XU1.

Mate,

My office is right above plaka's ....so if u notice a couple of idiots standing in front of the window with binoculars....give us a wave will ya...hahahah

If i can't get a mandrel bend...i'd prolly settle for the split donut approach.

To much maths.

Try this,

Square the diameter, ie 2X2= 4

Two pipes, = 2X4= 8

Single 3" 3x3 =9

9 is more than 8.

On a twin 2 inch system

R = 1 inch X pi (3.14) then square it = 9.88 cubic inches

times 2 pipes = 19.77 cubic inches

On a single 3 inch

R = 1.5 inches X pi = 4.7 squared = 22.22 cubic inches

So a single 3 inch pipe has more volumn then a twin 2 inch.

I rest my case...

so it's been proven twice now that I f**ked up. anyone else want to do the math to rub it in a bit more?

Justin...

IM VERRY WELL EDUKATED I WENT TO THE 6TH GRADE 5 TIMES SO IM REALY SMART LMAO i dont wanna show em up lol

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
