ok...i drive a non turbo 33 (insurance reasons, not by choice :teehee: )

i just put a 2.25inch exhaust system (catback) with a 4" cannon on the end

now the problem, although it sounds so frickin good, im losing performance

im guessing perhaps its coz i dont have any back pressure bcoz the cannon tip is bigger than the exhaust size?

correct me if im wrong....

but interestingly enough, when i put the silencer on, i gain the performance, but it sounds terrible

is there a middle option where i can have great sound without losing performance

was personally thinking of keepin the same 2.25inch piping, but replacing the cannon with a twin tip (2inch) cannon

any feedback would be much appreciated especially if uv ben in the same position as me....

no buy a turbo comments plz...haha, i already know i need one.... :P:(

Hey, I have an R33 non turbo with a double barrel (I assume 2 inch) exhaust, and it sounds awesome. It's deep and throaty (without being ridiculously loud) in the low revs, or when idling. After about 4000revs though it gets this slightly higher pitched ring which does get ridiculously loud in the higher revs.

Sounds good whilst cruising around, without being a cop magnet, but sound really finely tuned when given a good thrashing.

I'll have a look at the brand when I get home.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
