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)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
