hey all ive got a 3" cat back exhaust i took it off ages ago for an epa test n its been sitting in my garage for awhile now - i was just wondering is there any way i could get sumfing to quiet the exhaust down so i wont get done again n also without losing to much power?

any help would be reli awesome.

thanks in advance.

Put a decent muffler (or two) on it. One large and another smaller one would be enough for your average car.

It'll cost you a bit of money, good quiet mufflers cost money as they actually have some design/thought/material behind them :P

Mate, there are too many exhausts to note - go to www.mrmuffler.com.au or something and ask them - they will be in a position to give you quotes and advice on what is best suited to you specific needs.

Good luck.

ok sweet as thanks for the reply ash

wat are sum decent mufflers?

your probably better off going to a exhaust place that deals with modified cars

See what they have to offer mate and what they think, also do the dump pipe at the same time i reckon

As Ash has stated

mid muffler

rear large muffler

3" in and 3" out for both.

good mufflers cost big bucks.....so the more you pay..the better they get

Cheers

If you're running 3" off the stock turbo you won't need to do a lot to shut it up.

The stocker turbos are pretty good mufflers right off the bat.

Suggestion:

put the exhaust on; drive to an exhaust shop and get it measured to find out what you need to take out.

Adding a 3" resonator's probably good for about 3dB at the test RPM.

Adding a full-blown muffler's probably good for about 6dB @test. The quality of the

muffler (as in design and materials) determines how much flow you'll lose from adding it.

Adding one of those dodge-arse restrictors was good for 10dB on mine before

I put the cams in it...

hey all just put my cat back, back on, i also have 3" front pipe waiting to b fitted..just wondering would fitting that lower the exhaust note? coz it still feels pretty loud n drony even while idling

Hmm, in general, no.

In general, the more flow, the more noise. A frontpipe that's larger than stock will in general increase the flow - thus, increase the noise.

    • 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.
