Ok, so I had a non turbo R33 and did the engine conversion and my car is now a turbo one. It used to sound sweet as. I expected a little of the exhaust loudness to dissapear when a turbo was put on but this took away heaps of the sound I loved...

I spend a bit on it too because it is Apexi stuff.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to make it louder again?!

large diametre exhaust, 3 or 3.5" system incl dump, hiflow cat and either no centre muffler or hot dog style resonator and should be quite louuuud.

I went and saw a place today and they quoted me $150 to get new piping and take one of the mufflers out. U rekon 3 or 3 1/2 inch is better? If I'm going to do it then I only want to have to do it once and want it to sound sweet again...

fully tabully mate!!!

nah honestly i get so sick of loud exhausts. my old swift was 112dB at 3500rpm (used to rev to 9000rpm btw). if u want sound then get the 3.5 turbo back with a canon but yeh more sound doesn't nessary mean more performance. I didn't notice any difference in sound from going to a turboback from a stock exhaust with a larger muffler. still sounded the same but yeh mines only 3".

I think I'll go with the 3.5" then. I wouldn't normally have wanted to change it but I just got so used to the one it used to have I'd like it back (won't sound the same I know) - but at least something similar!

Thanks for your help

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
