Dont forget that mnay of the titanium exhausts only run one muffler where others run two. So one less muffler also helps....and the few single muffler tiutamium exhausts i have heard sound great...but my god they are loud. With speed events typically havign to still be under a certain db reading....you could find yourself even getting kicked off race tracks. Duncan and SK need not worry as State rounds are typically no noice days...but us club guys? Expecially in Vic last year where i got several warning that saw me driving around off boost just gettign my eye in for a single session where i gave it hell :D

why don't they make exhausts with the V-band type flanges now? trust did make one before like that, and it's awesome. easy to fit/remove. seals well, no pesky leaks. I guess cost is the only downside, but it's not like you are going to have 10 bloody V-bands.

Maybe check here:

They are supposedly all good to the JASMA standards. Click the Nissan button & have a look at the pdf. My kanji is compelte rubbish so the columns may mean anything. :D

Yup... They're all 5.0 - 5.1kgs for the cat-back for the PE Ti-R and 6.7 - 7.1kgs for the PE Ti cat-back for GTRs.

Roy, What "speed events" are you talking about exactly?

Surely there wouldn't be any noise restrictions on private track hire days and private practice days? I just ordered a "bloody loud" Amuse Titan R1 exhaust which I fear will be very loud, and I don't want to run the car with a silencer :)

Brand and specs on this one? Titanium cat backs are very light, but not THAT light.... 5.x kgs seems to be the norm from what I've seen.

specs unsure of..bought of the forums..it does not have 2 mufflers its straight through into 4ich cannon.he said it was 3.1kg and well it felt light so i didnt even bother checking...2kg who gives a rats anyway...

sounds wicked thats alli cared about

deal Gary, what size do you want, and how long?

Andrew - yes there are noise limits at some tracks on some days. All NSW circuits have permanent noise meters but they often are not manned. The hillclimb tracks often have a noise meter, it depends on the neighbours (for instance MG Car Club at Ringwood and King Edward Park). They normally specify max noise at 30+ meters away from the track - when you think about v8 sports sedans and supercars being legal most skylines are OK with a big turbo in the middle of the exhaust quieting it down

I have a 900 mm Trust Ti cat back on the R32GTST and it is almost 20 kgs lighter than the 3.25" Nismo cat back that it replaced, which is now on the Stagea. I have been looking (albeit not very hard) for a source so that I can make the cat forward section out of Ti as well. So Duncan, you find some Ti and I'll get it welded.

Cheers

Gary

thats one big system....900mm....zero backpressure with that puppy!

deal Gary, what size do you want, and how long?

Is this an actress and bishop joke? :blink:

Obviously I would like 90 mm to match the back half. Length is tricky, 1m would be enough to do back to the joint where the wastegate pipe joins the turbine pipe. If I go any further than that (closer to the turbo) I would need 2 sizes, 75 mm and 50 mm. Plus it would need a lobster back welding job for the bends, which is very time consuming. To do the lot would require about 1 m of 90 mm, 1 m of 75 mm and 1 m of 50 mm to cover it.

Cheers

Gary

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
