I've had one of the varex 3" twin tipped models on my R34 GTT for about 6 months now. Never had any issues and have been extremely happy with it!! I had a 3" stainless exhaust and split dump pipe put on at the same time, and honestly, I doubt the loudness is illegal even when it's fully open. It is a good muffler but nowhere near as loud as a cannon.

But that's exactly what I like about it - still a nice flowing straight through muffler with an awesome note, and you can shut it up at a press of a button. In my case I think it's actually quieter than stock with the valve closed! I've been meaning to get a video of it in action but never got around to it.

i have it on my skyline

open = 110db

closed = 85 db

so yeah helpful

saved me from problems when getting pulled over or followed

and with it being closed, theres a bypass so its pretty safe to drive closed

the remote works by it moves for as long as u hold the button the the exhasut closed, so its not set to intervals but rather as long as u press it

I have a 3.5 inch Xforce exhaust on my R32 gtr do you think if i got this fitted which are only 3inch to replace my cannon there would be a power restriction in anyway as my exhaust pipes flow from 3.5 then at the rear go down to 3inch. Getting car tuned in 2 weeks so i need to figure this out quickly.

Cheers.

its 3.5" for turbo back systems

and 3" for n/a systems for catback

thought these were deemed illegal already - anycar that didn't come with these from factory can't have them or something like that

plenty of cops seen my car and the exhaust neva mentioned that its illegal so...who knows technically we r doin the right thing by being quiet on streets and noisy on track/freeways so

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
