wat bout adjustable silencers? they legal?

silencers have to be welded in. you can buy adjustable ones which can be controlled from inside the cabin and the valve opens and closes hence less/ more noise but you can still get caught and you will still have to change it.

i personally think silencers welded into an exhaust pipe look gay and defeat the purpose of having an aftermarket exhaust in the first place.

ronin09 dont weld one into your exhaust pipe!

maybe look at getting something welded into the exhaust eg another muffler or maybe about 20 resinators ;) maybe we could swap exhausts :D no no swap rear mufflers :) then you wouldnt get any hassels! :)

yes, as akeenan is saying.. any form of "artifical restrictor" is illegal. The test place was telling me all about that. Bullshit but true.

I believe the "restrictor" rule is to precisely stop what we are suggesting, and that is have it silent one minute, noisy the next. Imagine how much trouble you could get up to with that..

I have the bolt in silencer, but it lives in the cavity next to the jack. The thing with having the silencer in all the time is you're less likely to attract attention whilst just cruising along; and thus less likely to get sent a notice.

Akeenan, i am SO not welding nothin in my exhaust!!! I have however heard a good trick if you want to quieten up an exhaust for either EPA test or EPA @ Macloud -

Get a piece of 3mm aluminium (offcuts from Capral are perfect, all of about 2 bucks), cut it to the exact size of the flange that joins the cat to the rear section of your exhaust. Drill the holes accordingly, and drill about 3 - 4 1cm diameter holes in the plate, then simply bolt in between the cat and the cat back section. When done, remove. Simple. No welding or cutting, no need to buy an additional muffler... But alas, V-bands mean i can't do this ;)

Oh yeah, i have a complete STOCK exhaust if anyone ever needs it - i am so not putting it on for the noise test though, we'll have to "sort something else out" :wave:

hehe welcome to the club ronin.

just chuck your stock exhaust on and take it for the test at the epa station, that way when the epa pases u even if a cop reports u they have to provide evidence not just say they estimate it to loud or some other BS before the epa will call u back.

they have to provide evidence not just say they estimate it to loud

believe you me haha.. you dont have to estimate you know straight away that these systems will be above way above the 90db. these make inarks girlfriends exhaust noise look pathetic. and her car is loud :)

I have a friend who just received an EPA notice as well,

He has a GTS-T Mspec (great car). We have both tried to find an exhaust place who will make a silencer, but so far they all say its too hard !! I was thinking of getting one for my car too, save me chasing one in the future.

Does anybody know an exhaust place that has made one or is at least willing to try ??

Klokan: Is it a noise EPA or full EPA at McLeod?

Canadian GTR: slack asses who don't know their stuff.. get them to either replace the resonator or put a silencer in.. daaler exhausts - 500 Station Street, Box Hill should be able to help you (this has been discussed in recent threads to death)

got my first one today....

it is only a noise one and as i only have a HKS cat back i am hoping it will be under...

i am thinking of going to daalder in dandenong....

if any ideas or suggestions please drop a line...

daaler exhausts - 500 Station Street, Box Hill

has anyone tryed there resonator that they claim it will be under 90db

i just got my exhuast system and it is a bit loud in low revs

as i cruise its really not that loud just mainly hums

but when i boot it the exhuast gets very loud

im thinking of going down to daddler exhuast's ( Box Hill ) to buy the resonator and fitting it in myself

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
