ok I got my notice and got tested:

Hi-Flow Cat, mid muffler + hot dog + HKS Super Dragger = 94dB

Reverted to a stock system (cat back) 87dB.. was quiet as...

So...it appears you would be close to the 90dB limit with a stock zorst + cannon...I assume most people have hi-flo cats etc

To assist others, what results has every1 else got on the test?

I also recieved an epa notice the other week for my exhaust. I was told by a tuner that if you buy about 10 metres of steel wool and jam down the exhaust, u'd surely pass. Then after that, just fang it on boost and inevitably, the steel wool should shoot out the back. I'd have to do this for the fact that i have an ECV welded where the diff sits, thus not being able to change exhaust systems easily. Has anyone tried this trick?

From my run in with Office Steve Austin and his bionic hearing...

Fujitsubo Super TI cat back - and when I say 'cat', I mean a pipe shaped like a cat, and when I say shaped like, I mean it looked like a pipe. Standard front/dump.

99dB - wooh!

Put a GTSt stock system and cat on, was a delightful 88dB

3"cat ,1 foot resinator :w00t: ....mid muffler :wave: and hot dog :) 95dba.

Had to get a new muffler and swapped it for the hot dog then it was 90dba at 5300RPM(RB26).

The test is flawed because the Muffler joint that tested it with the new Muffler,(which dropped the size to 1.5 inch.)told me at 3800 RPM he had me at 97dba ;) .So much for the EPA really not knowing shit about imports.

haha a few classics...

yeah so it seems my theory about stock zorst + cannon will probably be over..

which means...basically the whole world of import drivers are over - man I was looking at my stock on the car...looked so sad...was was quite overcome..

just wait for the new twin cannon system I just designed...should be on by the end of the week.

Just wondering, are you testing it at ~4000rpm?

well i doubt it, thats not where they are to be measured.

It all changed about... umm... 18 months or so ago :laugh:

RB20 is 4200 or 4300

RB25 is testing @ 4600 or 4800

RB26 is 5200

The RB26 figure is right, i've checked it. But the others im not sure about as i cant remember.

Been just over 12 months since i've been to the EPA, soon to go back though

mate of mine got done is his VP SS and racked up 129db , since then the car has been sold.

but the test must be done in an open area, the testing peice must be on a 45degree angle , 1metre away from the exhuast.

another close mate got done in his integra with a stock exhaust, all he had was a tip and they shoved the thing right infront of his exhaustand he went over the limit

The calculation is worked out on the RPM using the following method.

Power of car x(by) 3/4 =RPM of test.

I think by memory also.....no turbo rotary(RX) can pass the test because RPM of there test is like at 7000 :ninja:

      Engine sputter

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?

      That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
