Im thinking of welding up a custom exhaust for my r33 Rb30det powered Project car

What i want to do is to fabricate a shortened exhast that comes out either one or both sides of the car in fron of the rear wheels.

this is a rough drawing of what i am wanting to do

sorry bout my lack of photshop prowess i just used paint.

anyway if somone else has done this before could you please post some pics.

illegal for road use...well im 99% sure its illegal

Cant be arsed looking up the rule book, but an exhaust has to come out a certrain distance after the rear wheels...or something like that

also have to have a look underneath ur car, see if there is actually room to accomodate that setup

edit: bored with uni work...its ur lucky day

10 EXHAUST OUTLETS

10.1 Enclosed LE vehicles, and MA, MB or MC

vehicles must meet the following requirements:

10.1.1 the exhaust outlet must extend at least 40 mm

beyond the furthermost outboard or rearmost joint of the

floor pan which is not continuously welded or

permanently sealed which could permit direct access of

exhaust gases to the passenger compartment, but not

beyond the perimeter of the vehicle when viewed in plan;

10.1.2 the exhaust outlet, if to the side of the vehicle,

must discharge to the right hand side of the vehicle and

downwards at an angle to the horizontal of not less than

15 degrees and not more than 45 degrees; and

10.1.3 the exhaust outlet, if to the rear of the vehicle must

discharge at not more than 10 degrees above or

45 degrees below the horizontal.

So now, if we read into those rules... You'll need to check the floor pan of the car, and see where you can make it exit...

I've seen some of the guys running side pipes out through the passenger guard... :P But that's usually on drag car setup.

I had a side pipe on my 32 when i first got it in 05, save your money unless its going to be for the track as they are inappropriately loud.

Having said that i couldn't hear the exhaust over the screamer :P

  • 2 weeks later...

thanks for your replies guys on the legal matter

as i remember anyexhaust must not exit in front of the last opening window in the car

so as long as it is behind the last opening window im ok there

but will check into the floor pan bit and weather that applies to side pipes

on the noise issue i am going to reseach this further

but it maybe posible to build the muffler into the pipe like in some motorbikes.

but yeh more research required on weather this would be to restrictive

:/

well legality wouldn't work either way as you'd never get it quiet :ninja:

Sounds like you need someone decent to build you a side pipe setup then my friend...

There's PLENTY of room to fit good mufflers under there and shut it up...

FYI, From memory after the cat, I can fit a 950mm long 5" muffler... Before the cat I can fit a 550mm muffler 5 inches...

ATM, I run a 550mm muffler where I can fit a 950mm long one, and it's in 5" and I run a 550mm 7" muffler on the rear... Loudest time my car... When it's idling... Bring the revs up, and you hear the scream of the motor.., No exhaust noise...

PS: I don't use off the shelf mufflers... Mine are all custom built... :down:

And your approved tester results to backup the fact its legal? :ninja:

Vic is not NSW, we have much tougher and ridiculous laws.

Also ride height needs to be taken into consideration 100mm @ the lowest point for us

Don't have the results of it in a setup like that, but with said mufflers, it has been trialled and came in under 90dba.

As to the ride height, if running the twin pipes, it would fit rather easily, as long as you don't have a slammed car and you'd be happy with what is normally a single 3" outlet (The dual pipes for a 3.5" need to be around 2.5" each *6.3cm* so probably bordering on, if not breaking the ride height). Single 3" you'd run a 2.25" pipe, which should nicely clear the ride height, or you can use oval pipe instead...

As to Vic Vs NSW, I can't tell what state the original poster is in, and as such, makes it very hard to be able to work out what laws he needs to abide by.

i run a side pipe on my r32 race car.

-one problem you will run into is running the exhaust under the chassis rail it will hang very low. you will need to find a way around it

-you wont be able to fit any sort o mufflers in there as it will make the exhaust lower (unless you car is overlander spec)

-its completely illegal

-as with the mufflers point it will be too loud

-it will be a cop magnet

I dont know about the legalities with your state but here in Tassie even if you could get a side pipe quiet enough it still wouldn't be legal as it would exit into pedestrians if on the left and not allowed to exit to the right as it would then be exiting to on coming traffic.

I thought it was allowed to exit to the side as long as it didn't exit before the most rearward opening door/window. one of my mates had side exit pipes on his ute and never had any troubles with it. This was in Tassie BTW, can't wait to go back home at Christmas time :P

AFAIK you cant run it exiting the left of the car no matter what as its pointing towards pedestrians on the footpath. They have cracked down so much here with rules & regs its not funny and there are more and more defects/bomb stickers being issued every week :P

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
