OK in the past 2 weeks ive been defected 2 times.First time was for blow off valve.

Second time was for exhaust and my HIDS.

The first copper said my exhaust was fine but not to go any louder.

The second copper was a prick and wrote me up anyway.Today i went to get it tested and i was 4DB over(shit) so i went and got a standard exhaust put on.But the thing is i have to give it back in two weeks(loaner)

Seeing as my other exhaust was only 4DB over what can i do to it to make it quieter without comprimising flow.The standard system has robbed so much power out of my car its not funny.Can anyone in the same boat help me out?Options? Is there quiet high flowing systems on the market?

CHEERS

I guess ill have to try the centre muffler option.Going from high flowing to standard exhaust is a huge decrease in power.Amazing what a high flowing exhaust can do for turbo cars.

yea bud the best option is to get another centre muiffler as the others on here have said... the hks super dragger exhaust i have has a centre muffler and a hotdog aswell... its pretty quiet so that should do the trick for ya

My one is a fujitsubo.the guy testing it was suprised that it was over cause its pretty quiet.The standard one i have on now is 88.5db. My aim is to find a system that is 90db but provides the same flow as my fujitsubo one.There must be a market out there for legal yet high flowing exhausts.

Now on the subject of defects.I have an intercooler in the garage ready to put on.Are they a defect.A hole has to be cut into the engine bay to fit it.

If you're cutting a hole in the engine bay you're going to have to get that engineered, otherwise = defect?

(Going by what happened to a friend of mine)

Go to Mr. Muffler - get a Muffler that's within the legal DB limit - get the guys to write you up a report stating that it's legal - make a copy of it and keep it in your car...

When a copper pulls you over - show them the paperwork and that will shut him up.

That's what I've found...

Simple get an exhaust that complies.

There are some made by kakimoto and fujitsobo that are legal.

they have a 92 or 96 suffix on the model names.

can't just get an exhaust that applies, it needs to be engineered to say that it comply's with the australian design rules.. i was defected for my exhaust, and mind you my exhaust is under the dB rating.. i was told that if i didn't have a engineered certificate to say that it complys with the australian design rule then they can keep defecting me..

simple answer: Either know someone dodgey to clear it like i did... or put the stock one back on.

This is true. Although, if you are defected for noise - my solution would suffice.

If you are defected for no ADR compliance - your solution would be the only one.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.

      Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.

      I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon

      TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
