Kermit just installed my 3" cat back today. I tell you what, my R33 sounds pretty angry... I love it :)

Will put up some pics in the morning, just got home, gotta go to bed. Been waking the neighbourhood :woot:

Hi Kermit

I have a relatively stock Ceffy. (no where near as good as yours:P)

My car is still RB20DET

I am chasing after a full exaust. Dump pipe, front pipe, Race Cat replacement, 3" pipe, and a muffler.

Are you able to supply and fit It all??

Ive been following you thread, and now im just confused. Do you do you make the dump, front pipes yet, or do I need to supply that myself?

If you dont do the dump and front pipe yet what would you recommend to get? And where from?

What muffler do you recommend? Im Performance orientated rather then noise, but obviously it needs to be louder just dont want it to be the loudest in Perth, Ive heard Kakimoto mufflers are fairly quiet. Do they still Flow well?

Definately getting all this done fairly soon.

I WANT MORE POWER:D

Would just like to say a big THANKS to kermit for knocking me up a pipe to replace my bov and offering to fit it in a prick of a place (inside the front right guard) to dodgy china piping :wave:

And another thanks for coming to my rescue with spanners when I got down the road and a hose blew off the dodgy china piping :wave:

Good bloke, quality work and a sense of humour :(

P.S. flutters are NOT fulleh sik heh can't wait to get the stock bov on in the morning!

sup kermit

could you quote me just for a 3" catback exhaust for R34GTT?? dun realli mind wit performance wise jst after some grunt sound.... still looking around for a gd muffler to my liking to go on with the exhaust.

Ok, here are the pics I promised

Check out this awesome job by kermit

Thanks kermit, another very happy customer

Where did ya get that cannon from, is it a 5inch??

also i am wondering if ya would be able to replace my rear muffler with just a straight pipe??

thanks

I got it from ebay. Yea, it is 5 inch. Sounds awesome. Or in Kermits words 'she sounds angry, really angry' :happy:

Here's the link

i got a xforce cannon and its 4.5inch so if i change the cannon to the one you got will it sound any different??

From what I understand, the sound has a lot to do with the size of the body as well as the size of the outlet. This muffler has a 7 inch body, which is really big, but it means that the sound is really deep. It sounds awesome, just at idle it sounds as though my car is ready to eat anything else for breakfast, even though its pretty well stock atm and not that fast :ninja:

I'd say it would sound different :)

well i was thinking of having a straight pipe replacing my rear muffler,. so it will be just the cat then pipe then my cannon

Thats what I have, and it sounds awesome. Do it! As soon as you start it up, you'll have a grin from ear to ear :nyaanyaa:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
