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

yer.. its got that bulge doova.. now at least i know what it was.. the exhaust place where i took mine to be noise tested last week checked it thru, goes, "yup, yup, yup, you got one of those, those and those", "thats what you need for it to meet the requirements", but i neglected to actually ask him what the bulge was.

You also are not allowed any artificial restricters in there and the only legal silencers are those that are welded in. Some people know that, but for those that don't, dem the rules.

3" dump, highflow cat, HKS Super Dragger II combo is right on legal, measured just at 90db @ 5200rpm. With the stock airbox on it will be under. I don't even have to remove mine for the EPA test. Its a good exhaust combination if anybody looking for a nice legal exhaust with heaps of flow.

And you can fit kittens in the back end if you like as well :)

what u talkin about? u must be thinking of the post i made in the "will these rims fit" thread
me?
me?  

bsa 180s look better powder coat them in gold

are you sure you didnt post something in here before about those wheels??

um well, i guess i can explain :alcoholic:

:)

but i thought that is the 2nd muffler?? not a resonator?

meh i'll check the rest of the pipes for one of those small doovas... cause i want to get rid of the big ugly black boxy thing.

If it is a resonator im leavin it in

from the engine it goes cat, resonator, muffler.

they all have different sizes and shapes between factory, and high flow.

the bigger the volume inside the resonator/muffler the quiter it is.

3 options: normal "oval" shape and straight through.

normal will have the in and out pipes not lined up, this is the quitest but least flowing. or they will line up but will be detoured inside the muffler.

straight has the pipes lines up for increased flow and performance and also smaller volumes for louder sound and i assume increased performance.

just take it out and see what it sounds like.

ive been looking for an exhaust for a while and i went and listened to one that had no resonator. it was still farken quite though cause he had std turbo and dump and 2.5 cat, plus the volume of the muffler was quite big. do if your car matches this description, or is close then it should be alright. but just give it a go and see what happens.

inark the cheapest way to do it is get under the car with a tape measure,and measure it between the welds of the resonator,but add about an extra 40mm either side,then goto your local exaust shop get a piece that length in 3" pipeing and get them to flare it out both ends to fit OVER 3" pipeing then take off your exaust at home cut the resonator off then put that peice in and weld it up :D

and thats how u do it for free (thats if the exaust place isnt a tightass and gives u that little peice for free)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
