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)

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
