Hello everyone,

My skyline is an auto, and I was recently told be an exhaust specialist that if I changed to a 3 inch system the 'drone' of the exhaust would be huge issue.

He's indicated that I should only consider a 2.5 inch cat back system with a full sports muffler (not cannon) and a hotdog in between.

I'm wondering if I could have some advice about 'exhaust drone'. Because it's an auto and I do a lost of driving, I'm keen to hear from others about what type of exhaust would be recommended - perhaps from other auto skyline owners.

Thanks

I got the 3.5 inch in my auto R33... love it.. the noise hits you at the start but then you get used to it within a week, tops two.

Actually it isint that loud at all. Its only droney if you drive around slowly, above 80 KM+ on the freeway, its quiet as a bee! A mate who has a manual R34 says his car is way louder than mine.

Go for it, get the full 3.5 system done... go turbo back, you will love the difference.

I recommend JJR exhaust for 900 bucks with split dump pipe.

the just jap syetem is just a resonator and a cannon right? thats what i had on my car when i bought it and i found it heaps too lound, you couldnt hear ppl talkin in the back seat. after driving it for anything more than 30min my ears felt like i had just been at a rave or something.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
