Hi there,

I have heard people making high awkw on the GTRs with stock exhausts.

I'm aiming for 240rwkw with my rb25 - currently 3" turbo to cat --> 3" catco cat -->3.5" catback (kakimoto)

Its not real loud but would like to quieten it further. Would a GTR catback fit? How much power would this rob?

The kakimoto already has 2 mufflers.

Anyone have first hand experience?

thanks

Keep the current one

What most people do for stock exhaust 2.25" GTS-t round 2.75" for a GTR

is replace it form the catback, GTR/GTS-t catbacks are the same, it's only the front pipe which is different.

Your 3.5" exhaust is definitely large enough for the power goals you are chasing, even a 3" would do for that power :)

I have a 33 GTR with a stock exhaust. It's pretty awful. it's very tiny, heavy and restrictive. It's one of the things nissan used in order to keep the power under the 206kw agreement. They were quite smart though. They used reasonable dumps, pretty good front pipes (on GTR) and a good cat, then put a strangling exhaust on it, becuase of this a modifier can reap a much bigger than normal gain when changing cat back exhaust on a GTR. thanks nissan :)

Thanks Beerbaron - sounds like its not a good idea then.

Daniel - Yeah I have the Jasma one. It is pretty good but around 2000rpm cruising it is a little dronny..not much though. Its actually quieter at 4000rpm.

mine is the same, I'm currently looking for ways to quieten it right down.

pay the exhaust man $1k plus and you will have a quite + free flowing exhaust.its all in the type of mufflers you use.

or you could stick with your current setup and just throw a silencer in the exhaust tip.or yopu could buy an apexi exhaust valve (which sits in place of a flange gasket i think).which can be remotely activated from within the cabin via a lever and cable setup.

consider using thicker wall mild steel pipe. in my experience it definately cuts down some of the resonance and 'drone' and helps mute the note a little too. thin walled stainless pipe is always loud and resonates a lot.

Thanks Beerbaron. Might make up a 3" in MSteel modelling my kakimoto.

Does anyone know exactly what the GTR Cat back size is?

Is it 2.75 or 2.5" ?? Is it in fact bigger than the GTST?

I was thinking of keeping 3" Dump/front --> 3" Cat ---> GTR Standard 2.75? Cat to rear muffler (chop and weld on flange) ---> Kakimoto rear muffler.

Cheap way to see if quietens it down while still making ok power.

Anyone got a GTR cat back (minus muffler for $20? hahah)

trust me the stock GTR catback may be better than the GTST one, but it's no great shakes. I'm not sure if it's 2.5 or 2.75 but I'd say 2.5 if I had to guess. plus it has lots of bends as it follows the body fairly closely. It is fairly easy to make an exhaust that flows as good as the stock one, yet makes more power. as I said the standard GTR exhaust is made partly to keep power out put down, not up!

So what is a good muffler/ resonator (and cheap) to weld into that pipe from cat to rear muffler?

I have heard the oval off centre entry ones are good..I guess the bigger the better for noise abaitment

Might grab some 3" pipe

3" should flow 240rwkw right?

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
