After being pulled over on the weekend, reality has set in. My car is simply too loud. Some of this could be because of the exhasut leak i currently have, but even still it requires attention.

My RB20 has a 3" HKS Hyper exhaust, running a muffler/resinator/cat. Looking at the exhasut tip it would seem the HKS muffler can take one of those diffusers/baffles whatever they are called.

Im hoping they make a dramatic difference to exhasut noise, i dont really care about performance, i just want a cheap and easy way to quiten the old girl up.

Anyone had experience with running one of these baffles in the Hyper exhaust????

No, just came clean and mentioned that i was aware that its a little on the loud side, mentioned that the car was coming in for some servicing in the next week, ie fix exhaust leak, new tyres etc etc. Was only driving when i had to until i got it all fixed.

I think a clean driving record does wonders in these situations.

Roy, the joeys that go in the back of the exhaust make a pretty big difference - quieten things right down to a purr. That was on a mates supra with an N1 exhaust anyways, so I would expect the same.

D1 Garage have one (or two) second hand ones sitting on their shelf at the moment, I dont know how much they want for them, but I dont think it would be huge.

Well i have a cat back HKS system, it has a nice but a softish note, not too loud...

i am currently thinking about getting custom dump, 3 inch pipe to cat and a 3 inch high flow cat...

is anyone able to tell me if this will make it too loud? As the car is everyday driver i do not want it over the limit.

Im thinking new turbo has a lot to do with it. Aftermarket turbo setups arent really designed to be quiet.:D

Oh well its worth it when i hit boost, the TD06 has more grunt at 8 psi then my old turbo at 15psi.:)

... but just need to tame it for the street, i dont car if those baffles drop power below stock as i drive lke an old lady on the street... for that matter on the track as well:rolleyes:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
