narkeh, just make sure you don't remove the resonator, or your exhaust will vibrate so much you'll feel it thru the floor.

If its heavy its a resonator, if its light, its a muffler.

From headers back there should be 3 stock obstrusctions in this order:

cat, resinator, muffler.

And the muffler is the heavist part of you exhaust... (if its stock that is..)

While were on this topic.... i had to put the stock exhaust back on my car (Fugen EPA) and i have noticed that on the right exhuast tip on the muffler, there is a "butterfly" plate covering it!!

WTF!???

and what the hell does that connect to???

i got it tested and pulled 73DB!!!!!!

Quieter than a electirc lawnmower ffs!

anyone know what it hooks up too?

some resonators are straight through and look like a bulge in the pipe, kinda same shape as your muffler. others are more like a stock muffler that has the pipe come in on one side of the oval shaped muffler and comes out the back from the centre. this non-straight through muffler cuts down noise because it forces the gases to flow around in the muffler before exit rather than just go straight through. hence the term "straight through muffler"

then thats what it is.... that last thing u mentioned.... i took pics but im at work now.

i'll leave it on then.

It's a resonator...

I took mine off once, and it didnt take long before I put it back on! The drone you get inside the cabin is cool for about 2 mins, then it gets annoying! Especially if you are hungry, or dying for a crap whilst driving... then you will see what I mean. IMHO I would leave it on, or if you are really that worried about performance, get a straight through one, as it would cause less of a restriction.... but then again, I would say the difference would be negligable...

If my HKS Super Dragger came ith one, I dont think they are that bad (and mine is NOT a straight through resonaor)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
