Hey guys i have a rb27 with 550rwhp and its very very loud with the single 3.5' cannon muffler i have on it at the moment, im after a super quiet sound without restricting flow as much as possible, i know its a hard combination but im willing to sacrifice abit of power to please the local residents and police ;) im going to remove the current cannon and use 2 oval mufflers.

im lookin specifically at the magnaflow race series range and fitting 2 of the 8"x5" oval s/s mufflers with single 4" inlet and 4" outlet, im just worried they wont quieten the noise enough.

heres the link to the ones im talking about...

http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/02race.asp (Part #14153 is the one)

anyone know any other places or brands that have decent mufflers in 4" in and out?

the race series are $116us each

any info appreciated

Just get em made if you need something custom or to do a certain job.

There is no reason an exhaust correctly designed will rob you of any power.

I dare say thats what gonna have to happen with my car.

Everything else is custom made so i cant see it being any different for the rest, so it can be done... comes down to price.

And with your setup, cost definately shouldnt be an issue :D

I highly recommed speaking to Hitech mufflers. Australian made custom performance mufflers.

www.hitechmufflers.com.au

I recently change to a 3"hitech and its quiet at idle yet doesnt lose power up top

Also the car doesnt drone as it used to with the old exhaust between 2000-3000rpm

going to muffle that external gate too brad? :happy:

sounded (and smoked :wub:) like a dirty rotary on that cruise!

when are you looking at buying?

ive got a 4" in/4.5" out cannon on mine, but i want to go to a twin tip exhaust, so the dif back part is going.

i run (2) of the 6" diameter round 4" inlet/outlet mufflers on my personal car (RB26 w/ gt42R single turbo). it is quiet and sounds phenomenal.

if you want pics let me know ill post them up

I'd be interested to see them Geoff. Out of interest, which length mufflers did you use and have you had your car noise tested at all ?

I know this is a bit left feild, but in the past i used a truck muffler.

Now before u get all bent out of shape about it.. Donaldson truck stuff is VERY good. If you can track down a catalog, they go into great detail about their stuff. Noise surpression, flow rates, HP figures and all!

I used a 3.5 inch muffler under the back of an old project, and it was the best thing i bought for it! no drone, quiet but a very deep sound. I'm not sure if they make a low profile type, but its worth looking at..

I have not seen ANY other muffler makers do that much detail about their products!

check it out! ohh, most of their range go from 2.5inch to 6 inch!

I'd import a Jasma certified (or not) 5Zigen muffler. Go to 5Zigen's website and contact them they will tell you wat is perfect muffler for your car. I have a 5Zigen Border system and It's quiet when off boost and cruising and only loud when you put your foot down. And then you see other wankers around with crappy cannons and they make drone 24/7.

thanks for all the advice guys im going to give 2 of the magnaflow oval race series mufflers a go as i hate the cannon style ones on the rear and ill be painting mine black for the stealth look. hopefully it shuts it up alot, i found for 2 x magnaflow race series 4' in and out are $513 for the lot delivered from the US so not too bad considering a shop in Perth wanted $500 for one :)

mitchy im not after the cannon look as i said but i will check out yours if u come over on the weekend and see if its alright or not.

cheers

Hey mate, how did you go with the magnaflow mufflers on your exhaust? Interested in doing similar.

Shaun.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
