Getting a 3" Split Dump, Hi Flow Cat and 3" Catback with 4" or 5" Output/Muffler.....its stainless steel aswell if that has any effect....

Will this system be overly loud or does it depend on who makes the system?

I cant see how one from Kakimoto or HKS or X Force or whatever can be any louder when they are the exact same size etc.....

So can anyone let me know or answer my question/query and thought....

Cheers

Matt

I have a full 3" system on my 34 and it is legal db.... Its really quiet :P

In reality that question cannot be answered because there are quite a few different muffler designs (internal design) out there...

I run a 3.5" to the cat. 3" inch cat, 3" resonator and 3" rear muffler with twin 2" outlets

plus a 2 1/4" screamer** pipe off external gate going into a 2 1/4" straight through centre chamber muffler which dumps under the car just behind gear box...

**I call it a 'moaner pipe'... :P

Its very legal db until waste gate opens and then would be just slightly over but sounds like a V12...

It really depends on what brand and design of muffler and resonator you use...

noise will depend on things like wall thickness of metal aswell as type of metal. Different mufflers have differnt internal designes which will either muffle more or less than others. Best to go with high quality mufflers as they usually flow better and muffle more

I think the cat is important too. Something cheap and restrictive (like my current cat :thumbsup: ) keeps it quiet. My mate has an X-Force turbo back exhaust and in the passenger seat (above the cat) it sounds like an aeroplane.

My guess is the cat really affects the tone because it's the first restriction from the turbo.

Look into a quality (metal) cat is my 2c

My R33 N/A 4 door series one sounds great.

Great general driving sound, no drone, and when the foot hits the floor its sounds crisp and strong.....lovin it!!

Ohhhh setup was conpleted at AAA Exhaust in Adelaide

2 1/4 inch from cat back to a 6" cannon muffler

Quiet often a stock exhaust sounds way better than the drony piece of shit tin cans that some bolt on.

I laugh every time I see some NA lancer or Mirage or Corolla or even a NA skyline/supra with a shitty canon up its arse.. they sound so loud and crap its embarassing and annoying.

Yeah canon mufflers suck... they are droiny and annoying.

I am seeing alot of cars with twin canon muffler set up... less noisy.

Any pics mate?

I've been looking like mad for a twin pipe system...

As far as I can tell, no one makes such a system for Skylines...

Even just a twin muffler trick, I've not found a thing...

But they are for 200sx. I havent seen one for Skylines either unles its a custom job... been to Newcastle recently and saw many Skylines there with this set up.

If by chance you are buying an HKS system such as Silent Hi Power it should be fine. I can't recommend it high enough. I have it on my R34GTT and it is quiet at idle and has a beautiful note and volume under decent load.

Sorry, have no idea about twin systems for Skyrines.

Cheers.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
