And got a cannon!!

lol.. My muffler at the moment sounds like a POS.. It sounds way too raspy.. Plus this was 20% off and with a 2.25 inlet ( which I could not find anywhere), it matched my system atm perfectly har har.

Hopefully it doesn't end up sounding like a POS though, I'm a little worried about the length of the tip, seems shorter to most cars I've seen lately.. Not sure how that will impact?.. And hopefully not too much if any back pressure is lost, s It's still 2.25 so fingers are crossed.. Will post a vid when it goes on some time next week.

EDIT: Vids are up now.. 1st, begins with early stages of the car, and the last vid is of th car now..

First video is when the car had only the exhaust.

Second Video is after extractors + Pod with the same exhaust.

Third video is with the new cannon lol

Revving in neutral doesn't really show much, really gotta do a drive by as its always going to sound different under load. Personally I've never really heard any NA rb's that sound nice, most have a horrible rasp to them.

I shall get on the drive by asap

Generally the N/A's only get a nasty rasp when they rus stainless rear mufflers without suitable mufflers further up the sytem. Mine runs all mild steel and standard bore diameter and sounds like this.

Ignuz, yours doesn't sound too bad at all for running a cannon. Good work.

I resisted the urge to go cannon and went for a twin outlet (squared tips) Zetti exhaust when I did the upgrade about 18 months ago. I also went the Coby Extractor route, and upgraded to stainless hi-flow cat while I was at it. I even sent the extractors & exhaust to Brissy to be HPC coated just for good measure... Now it all sounds VERY loud, particularly inside for passengers. I'm putting the noise factor down to the extractors more than the exhaust, but either way it's damn loud!

From what I've heard and experienced, the raspy noise never seems to leave N/As... you can only make the exhaust louder to drown out the annoying rasp when accelerating. Believe me I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it with my car.

i put a 4inch shitbox autobarn cannon on my old NA auto r33, jesus christ it was loud

resonating so hard inside the cabin and shaking the earwax from my ears while doing 40kph up a hill.so many headaches, i got out of the car 3/4 def

never again will i make that mistake. as for power gains well seeing it was on an NA it raped my low torque and didnt notice a difference apart from drinking more fuel.

Lol mine doesn't seem to drone, it more or less is just pretty loud when you go over 3k RPM.

Only vid of a drive by I have at the moment..

1. No I don't have a fake BoV

2. No I don't know what that psssssttt sound is in the vid from the car

3. Just saying this because a few people have asked already.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
