hi guys

need to get my exhaust tested to see how loud it is. its a 3in system with a hotdog muffler hiflo cat 3inch split dump and a jazma oval rear muffler. doesnt sound that loud but is probably over 90db. where should i go to get it tested. vic roads have there approved testers, but none of them are near me. closest is lilydale or dandenong. anyone had theres tested around the s.e suberbs? im sure theres more testers than just the approved vic roads ones.

didnt actually get canary for exhaust. but i have to get my car engineered due to the whole i cut out for my hybrid intercooler kit. the engineer must now do the whole car not just the engine bay. just want to get it tested before the engineer does it. want to have it all micky mouse so i only have to take it to him once. he will perform the test himself i just want to make sure its gonna pass

I just went to get a noise test for my GTR. It has a stock exhaust on it now and still failed at 92db !!!

Only mod on it is the pods, they said to put the standard one on, however i dont know if that will make a difference.

Not happy Jan !!

ive always used the boys at daalder in box hill.. sure the place looks a bit dodgy but they guys there are good blokes

Daalder exhaust is the place to go, a few friends of mine have had their cars tested there. Good helpful guys with a sense of humor too >_<

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
