I have a few questions about this exhaust that some of you that have one on an R33 might be able to answer...

I have one on my car and I must say, it hangs really low around the resonator. Does any one have this exhaust on an R33 that is lower from standard height?

Has anyone attempted to bend the rods that hold it up to make it sit higher?

Has anyone been defected with this exhaust? Although I dont find it very loud, I've read that the standard exhaust comes close to the limit, so surely (according to that stupid test used to determine this) someone must have been told it is too loud???

Thanks

Zahos

I actually read up on the specs on the HKS and it's actually one

of the biggest there are avaliable. I've seen them hang pretty

low. I think its due to the straightness of the pipe..

Noisewise, they can actually get pretty loud so i would assume it

would be over.... Well.. I know of only 1 that doesn't have a cat..

:P

Can't you stick in a resonator to quieten it abit?

I've got a HKS super dragger... It's not very loud at all. Apparently I've got two resignators in the system so it's pretty damned quiet compared to other skylines!

But I have noticed that right in the centre of the car both length and width ways there is on of the resignators hanging down and boy does it get a flogging. I'm suprised its still there.

*shrugs*

I don't know but as I complain about all the time, we are kinda slow. I don't know whether its because we *are* slow or the cars I line up against have had a lot more money spend on them..

I don't really have anything to compare it to so I can't say yes or no.

I have a Super drager and when I got it I was finding it a bit loud at lower revs. I took it to an exhaust place and they fitted an extra straight through muffler which made no difference to performance and made it sound much better.

It was a very tight squeeze though, they put it in just before the rear stabiliser arm (just b4 the diff.)

Sounds really good, no drone and a lot more comfortable to drive. Sounds good when opened up!

I had them cut it into the spot where the resonator (hot dog type) one is and then reuse this also by moving it between this new muffler and the existing super drager resonator. It was a straight thru 3 inch type and it cost $170 fitted.

I know some might say that the Super drager is 3 1/2 inch so why did I go 3 inch, well 3 inch is still plenty big enough for heaps of flow (if anything 3 1/2 is a bit much) and when I upgrade the rest of the exhaust (front and cat), I doubt I'll find a front pipe or cat which is bigger then 3 inch, so seeing as it will only flow as well as the smaller link in the system -

It makes no difference to power (compared to std super drager) but made it sounds heaps better.

ps. watch where they put it because it is very tight for space

pps. sort of similar to the 3 inch resonator/muffler listed on Unique Autosports site but a little bigger.

    • 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.
