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, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
