Eug, my car has the twin-cam raspyness you speak of, it's not very loud or noticeable, but I can tell it's there.

Scott, so did everything line up ok? hangers, etc?

What was the part no. again please?

would be keen to see if this system gets rid of the raspy'ness...

i dont mind the sound under full throttle, as it has the typical M3 type scream - however giving it 20% throttle as it reaches that *point* just makes the car sound sick as a dog.

Now I've put a couple of km's on the car the exhaust note has changed quite a bit ! I don't actually know how to describe it.

Reggi, you might want to hold off until I can get a sound file for you.

With that said, I'm in love with the sound ! , but it may not be loud enough for those that want more attention.

Seat of the pants, well I never expected a miracle so I'm not dissappionted. You know there's a smidge more power & torque there, but it's not enough to change your heart beat. :) What you "can" instantly feel is the engine's ability to breathe !! Hard to explain but you know you've done a good thing removing the restrictive system >_<

I'll wait for that sound file Scott.

Also I got a reply back from Nengun this morning re: why they've discontinued listing the Fujitsubo exhuast for ER34

Hi Reggie,

Thanks for your enquiry, unfortuantely this exhaust is too long to ship using our standard shipping methods so we are not able to offer this product for sale. Apologies for any inconvenience and for the delayed response.

Thanks

It's almost as though they're shipping the cat-back as one piece. Pretty weak I think.

Lucky I didn't go ahead and buy one, I would've been $960-odd out of pocket with no exhaust.

Will be contacting Greenline now to see if they can help me out.

I haven't forgotten the sound file but just not got the chance yet. Will do it soon ( will only be a stationary rev & idle for now tho ).

I'm going out on a limb here but, and I'm going to say that this system is too quiet for you guys. At it's best it sounds like an stock M3. It's great for stealth but if you wanna get some looks the sound ain't gonna do it for you. For you guys who want some noise, you should prol wait until Kakimoto release the "Regu" for the N/A 4 doors ( ask Steve @ Just Jap when these will be available ).

Oh and there's one downside to Stainless Steel systems, the retain heaps more heat than mild steel. Went under the car for 2 secs the other day to check all was OK. Reached up to give the rubber hanger's a wiggle and arm touched rear muffler. Instant **SIZZLE** ;)

EDIT.

Keep in mind when you're listening to it that the car's in the garage so it sounds a bit louder than on the street. I had some tunes playing at the time at a pretty low vol so that should give some perspective.

Here's the file reduced ( to 400KB :P )

hmmm, a sound file out in the street would be better, I think, as the exhaust note is bouncing off the walls in the garage.

As it sounds there, it doesn't sound anything like I thought it would. Thanks Scott.

I'll get onto it soon but yeah, the sound is like nothing else I've ever heard. And the strange thing is that the sound changes depending on the exhaust temperature. From cold, to cool operating temp, to heat soaked, to really hot, it sounds a bit different at each stage. :P Even still, I like it :worship:

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
