and get custom 2.5inch piping done at a local mechanic or whatever????

which would be the best option to go with?? any help appreciated. thanks

SEARCH dude, its been covered a thousand times.

[_bobo_]

cant really find relevent answer....i want to know out of the options i named...which would give me better performance and be louder???

[GTS4WD]

Hi flow cat - Power

Mandrel bent - Power

a good cat back - Power

Muffler - +10 on wanker scale and louder..

and yes.. mufflers are included on cat backs..

Personally.. go the second of your options.. i.e. Hi flow cat (may now have MASSIVE benefits on a low power NA car).. mandrel bent 2.5" and a muffler.. this it would suite your wants best

dont know much about Xforce products.. or their quality..

Best to do research.. Save and get good quality (like coby) headers.. a full manderl bent 2.25 - 2.5" exhaust.. cat.. and muffler..

dont understand why you want a loud exhaust anyways....dosent make you better than anyone else and will give you unwanted police attention too

i want it 2 sound good when idle and when i step on it...not overly loud n sounding like a fart can but something that will sound beasty..even if it is a n/a

go for a nice 2.25 or 2.5 cat back with a nice muffler on the end of it, with a resonator should sound nice on idle

[R33_Rob]

Im with Cro_boy_Mario.

Get the 2.25 or 2.5

My R33 GTS came with a 4" catback exhaust and 5" tip and was loosing power (some retard japanese owner obviously didnt understand the concept of back pressure).

didn't want to start another new thread on a worn out topic so i thought i'd re-use this one

i've just had a new intake and full exhaust put on my car. picked it up this morning from my mate after i've come back from a weeks holiday.

driving the car home 20mins has left my head feeling numb and ears ringing from the loudness and the drone.

the full exhaust comprising of HPC Coby's, high flow cat, custom mandrel SS 2.5" exhaust, oval muffler with twin tips for factory look. I'm seriously regretting it at the moment and want my factory exhaust back on.

it's been suggested to me to put an oval resonator in but i'm not sure if that alone will be enough to quieten the noise and remove the drone. i'm also thinking a new muffler as well.

so i seeking some help from those who have actually had this dilemma and what did you do to fix it?

Ive got a 2.5" catback mandrel bent exhaust custom made.

cant even hear it on idle, but it begins to roar after 3000rpm.

i LOVE it because people are astounded about the difference between how quiet it is during idle, and how nice the grunt is at high rpm.

going to get a new high flow cat soon...not sure If i want to buy Xforce though...

Reggie ive got a resonator on mine, works a treat.

p.s. mine droned quite a bit for a few weeks....so give it sometime and see if it quietens down after a while...

When I was talking to one of the guys at Rob Bliss Exhaust a few months back, he said that oval barrel twin tip on an N/A will drone and they haven't been able to get rid of that drone. Seems like it's a characteristic of that muffler.

I was thinking of going for the twin tip factory look as well when I end up doing my exhaust, but the noise I guess will offset that factory like side of it. You could always get a factory twin tip of a GTR, that should flow plenty for an N/A and keep things quieter.

[Oo oO]

I got a 2.5" cat back custom made on mine a few months back, put a hi flow cat on it n a twin tip not a cannon n it still made 90d at 3x rpm ahhhhhh damm N/A lol

[mad082]

when i first put the 2" system on the SSS i only had a lukey muffler on the rear and it was noisey as hell but sounded great. the guys fitting it got me to take it for a spin round the block to see if i wanted to quiten it down. i took it for a spin, and as much as i liked the sound i knew that mr policeman would bend me over and insert his nightstick into a certain orrifice if i left it that loud, and also on trips it would piss me off, so we put eith a 12 or 14" resonator (hotdog style) in the centre and it made it much better. although it did lose a bit of bark.

[Reggi34dr]

thanks for the input guys. resonator should be going in tomorrow as i'm getting sick of driving with ear plugs in.

[Oo oO]

lol i got a hot dog as well n it still cracks 85 hahaha

[Reggi34dr]

so a resonator alone won't be enough to tone down my exhaust volume and drone?

i.e. get it under the legal db level?

[Sandeep]

you can try the resonator and if that doesn't work then you will need to try a small oval body muffler inline with your rear muffler. the resonator should take care of the drone though.

i found a hot dog keeps it down nuff long as ya aint got a cannon on the back lol, though it does drone quiet abit but tis bearable ... mild steel defo ova stainless tho!!! hahaha less ya want it 2 sound like a tin can
