Im running a K&N pod filter, and the noise it makes is crazy... havent had a chance to record a sound as no-one else has been in the car with me yet... car is off to workshop tomorrow to get excede clutch put in, so i'll try grab one after there.. shouldnt be too long.

Dayne

Thanks for that PVA_Glue!

Sounds good! Is that thing auto? Can you please tell me all the details of the exhaust set-up you had (resonators, mild or stainless steel piping etc, cat-back or full, extractors?)

And if you have a pic, I'd love to see what your POD filter set-up looked like, did you use any heat-shield or CAI piping? Would you recommend the Blitz metal mesh one?

Does anyone know what kind've sound I'd get from just changing the muffler? (My mate just did this with his 2.5L Impreza RS and it sounds good)

How much will a 2.5" cat-back system cost roughly?

Thanks.

P.S. I've attached a mp3 of my stock standard R33 GTS-4 for anyone who's interested, just revving it in neutral today, take it to about 3, then 4.5 then 7 grand (first time I've done it, felt good! hehe)

R33GTS4_Rev.mp3

I have a '94 GTS Coupe with a 2.5" exhaust and a 4.5" tip, other then that its stock and it's fairly loud.

It looks like I have 2 Catalytic converters or something? One around about where the doors are and another where the back pillar/windscreen goes down (estimate). They're the same kinda shape and size so I'm not sure whats going on. Can anyone tell me what one of these are?

I will try and get a recording of mine, how did you guys record yours? Could I use like a phone and transfer it to pc, or will that be poor quality?

Hey mate, one is prolly cat converter and the other might be a resonator or something.

I recorded mine on a digi cam as a movie and then put the movie on the comp and just recorded the sound of it with the windows program 'Sound Recorder'. Try it with your phone and see how it goes.

Did your car already have the exhaust system fitted when you bought it? I'm trying to find out how much a 2.5" system will cost me.

Got a pic of your muffler, is it a cannon?

Stock muffler looks so shit hanging out the back of my car atm :rolleyes:

I'm looking at getting the Apexi Power Intake POD filter, $165 on modyourcar.com.au

Yeah it was already on there, also I have a HKS Panel filter, it's not super high performance though and is gettin a bit old. I will take some pics of it and try a recording today, gotta install my splits and wash it.

Not sure what's going on with my computer but I can't play either of those .MOV files. Could somebody convert the files to mp3 or wav files or something so that I can at least listen to them? Thanks.

P.S. Anyone seen any places selling jap-brand (HKS, Blitz etc) exhausts for N/A R33s? (new or used)

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
