you have a resonnator in the exhaust already - it's that hot dog shaped thing in the centre bit of pipe.

get a proper 3" muffler (like the one below), cut the resonnator out and put the 3" muffler in.

done.

Sounds like a big job... needs welding?

I also have my back seat taken out (coupe) would this perhaps made the noise levels sudenly increase from the exhaust?

You won't lose any flow, and its claimed by APEXi that it can reduce noise levels down to 10dB.

$100 - $200 second hand/brand new depending where you get it.

Works very well and easy to install.

This is only good though if you want it quiet occasionally, if you want it quiet all the time get the muffler.

haha yeah used them for years but remmeber it only has no restriction when not being used once you knock the noise level down you also kill your power.... alot. they become very restrictive.

Hahah yep.

They are heaps restrictive, but good for avoiding unwanted attention (cops) and keepng the noise level down for your neigbours lol

I got the non flange type that you weld into the exhaust, so it becomes 1 piece, rather than having an additional flange join.

Good thing is you can just drop the lever and your back in action, back to the same power :yes:

And if the muffler fails... You'll wish you spend the couple of $$$ on flanges.

Don't use the flanges. Use the joiners they run on truck exhausts.

When you need to change exhausts, it takes 30 seconds, and there is NO gasket/goo involved!

Want to replace the muffler with a straight piece... It's going to take you longer to jack the car up this way!

agreed - why not have a quiet exhaust that flows as well as a loud one, so you can boot it everywhere without looking like a dickhead?

i know i have one, as does Nismoid which will easily flow 350+rwkw and is quiet as a mouse (well nearly)

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
