hi guys,

I've got turbo back system on my 32, they came with the car when i bought it.. the problem is..... they are way too loundddd

so, I've got very very tight budget and dont wanna spend big $$$ on the new cat back ..

- what would u recommend? I'm after quiet one and also good for performance

- should i get the new cat as the same time? (old cat look abit small and too old)

cheers

Saying you'd like it quiet and one good for performance isnt narrowing down the requirement, as they're the two apposing attributes every one wants. Slike saying, "im not picky, but with my coil overs, i would like em comfy and smooth, but also tight and controlled through corners" or "want my turbo with no lag, and a blistering top end" and you better belive the setups that ARE close to being perfect... def not cheap.

Depending how tight $ it is, a vaughly decent 3" cat is $180-$300,(and a sick 5" - $500) then just pick your cat back setup. Theres many thread on this, though everyone has a different idea of "loud"

To have the best chance of making the right choice for you, going to a drag night, or track day, or local Fri night cruise, where you can ask ppl bout setups, is the best bet.

Just go get an entire X-Force exhaust system, chop off the hotdog and get a good mid muffler welded on.

I'm using a St May's 3.5 inch cat back exhaust approved by JASMA, man my car is probably as loud as a stock R32.

Have a look at this,

haven't used on so couldn't say how well it works

but seems a good idea

Varex Exhaust

He did say budget? and that Varex exhaust restricts flow when on silent mode, same as those exhaust valve controls.

I do believe he wants performance as well as reduction in noise

IMO, good mild steel mandrel bent cat back exhaust with a good mid muffler and a good rear muffler.

JASMA approved ones are usually very quiet and should conform to the Australia db level (which is fcken gay, because stock V8s make more fcken noise than my car and I don't see them with defect stickers, bunch of fcken hyprocrites, I hate the RTA......... sorry about the rant)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
