Ok i got my exhaust tested for DB and it was 4db over.How can i make it quieter without comprimising flow.

I had to put a standard one on my r33 to pass a defect but i dont want to get pulled over again for my other exhaust.The standard one has robbed me of so much power.

People keep talking about the HKS dragger systems but are they 90Db?

CHEERS

i just cleared my defect same one a week ago

best thing is trying to get a muffler at the end with a silencer and see if that quietens it down but opt for expensive mufflers that does reduce sound no china made crap.

otherwise either way you'll lose power....

maybe other guys have ideas but its a bitch

The short answer is "go see a good exhaust shop" - preferably someone that has experience in making race exhausts.

Someone like that will be good at looking what you have and estimating accurately what to do to take out 4dB whilst

keeping as much performance as possible.

The long answer:

How big is the exhaust you have? Anything over 3.5" is hard to shut up.

Does your car have a 'trumpet' on the back can? You might get 1dB by removing it.

How many mufflers? Can you add another? That might get you 3dB back.

Are the mufflers straight-through or otherwise? If straight-through, try a muffler with different internals but same flow area.

Are the mufflers glass-packed? If so, can you repack (usually repacking means 'looser' but can mean 'tighter' depending

on how the internals are)?

NYTSKY... you little adolescent!

I recommend everyone on this forum to steer clear from

trading with this member.

Gave me his word he will buy my SAFC

& make payment 2 weeks ago.

Does not reply to my PM's and has

ruined any other potential buyers as

I refused all other offers after he gave me his word.

Then again, only a real MAN can keep his word!!! :teehee:

Sincere apoligies.I have had bit of trouble with the law lately as you can see by my thread so all my money has been tied up in defects.As soon as i have the funds i will pay you in full.I did tell you that i am very interested and i mean it! As soon as my funds are back i will pay you in full garranteed.

I think your actions toward me are a bit harsh.Before you launch such an attack please send me another PM.I always answer my PMs on this occasion i might have deleted yours.

Sorry Bill

CHEERS

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
