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.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
