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:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
