G'day Mick,

hey wayne,

Three questions

Where did u get this from?

How much?

Much quieter than a canon?

Is it more restrictive than the canon?

cheers mick

Where did u get this from?:

Bought & fitted at Kirrawee Mufflers

http://www.kirraweemufflers.com/

How much?:

Both Kirrawee & Best Mufflers quote $500 for this specific model.

I originally ordered the single pipe oval for $400 - they couldnt get me one straight away so they offered me the dual pipe version for the same price :D I'm glad I ended up with the dual pipe, looks much more stock.

Much quieter than a canon?:

Definitely quieter than the cannon I had fitted, or at least has a lot less bass.

I also replaced the large resonator I had for a hot-dog type, this would affect it as well of course.

The new muffler is still fairly loud when the valve is fully open, I had a mate take it for a drive past me and it did sound very nice indeed.

Is it more restrictive than the canon?:

Yes, no question at all - I did go from a 3.5" to 3" for starters. Theres no way it could be as free flowing.

I'd love to put it on a dyno again (was dyno'd only 3 weeks ago) just to see the numbers.

I've done quite a few 0-160 tests since buying the car, and with the new muffler I am honestly hard-pressed to notice any significant difference. I do think that the turbo is spooling up a little higher in the rev range though... I think! Not much in it if it is :D

At least now I feel a lot safer going past the cops, it looks standard and I can turn the bugger down if need be.

Cheers

I would go Apexi N1

its really quiet when you want it to be, but produces a very clean note when you giving it some pin. That said, its not what i would call a loud exhaust at any rpm

Could be an option?

Thats the thing - until you see and hear any given muffler hooked up to the same kind of car as yours, its hard to know what you might find too loud or not loud enough.

I've been having evil thoughts about constructing some kind of solenoid activated valve that simply diverts/opens up the pipe before the resonator :D I'm sure I'm not the first to have thought of that though! Would be nice to have for the times when you really want maximum performance...

Got my twin dump pipe from these guys... The said that there twin tips have same flow as there cannon and look at there power figures...

GTST%20REAR.jpg

Good quality and price give them a look http://www.cesracing.com.au/products/

agreed, R spec that is one nice lookn r34.

theres always something about red cars lol.

i recommend u get the r34 gtr diffuser on the front aswell, because it sitll looks a little short in size.

and we all no the wing has to go =]

how much did the front conversion set u back? did u get it from powerplay?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
