hey guys,

currently im unable to decide whether to put an exhaust system in my car. right now the stock one is alright but i want to have the noise sometimes. my friends integra sounds really great with one, deep but not too much and i want one like that but i also like it being quiet as well. when driving around at night its nice having the car nice and quiet also the cops dont look at you until they here the *whooosh*.

what are your thoughts?

Thanks

Sunny

That would be the next upgrade i would choose. There are aftermarket systems that aren't that loud depending on mufflers used. Im sure there are people on here that have nice sounding exhausts without being overly loud.

Not me though.. :D

If you just want a nice sound, there are some pretty good cat-back systems out there.

Get one that you think looks good, cause there are some pretty ugly looking exhaust systems out there.

If you want some performance go for a turbo back. Dump pipe, Front pipe, Highflow metal cat and cat-back all in 3"

Umm Well I got a 3' Custome Straight exhaust made Decat as well Its not to bad (minus the screamer pipe)

Like MAGIC said HKS Silent Hi-Power are good with the high flow.

No troubles with cops with my zast.

how much is the difference between a catback and a turbo back system?

turbo back is a lot more responsive and will come on boost lil bit harder. Most ppl just start with the cat back and then go front pipe & cat at the same time later down the track. Not sure how much they are now but my HKS cat back cost me $990 at the beginning of the year, so as u can see its best to take it in steps. :)

well cat-back systems consist of the exhaust set up from the catalytic converter to the cannon. turbo back refers to from turbo back so includes high flow cat, 3" dump, 3" front pipe.

you should notice better power in the high rev ranges with a turbo back system as it allows the exhaust gases to flow less restrictively. and there will be a slight/ if noticable exhaust note difference between the two.

but definitely invest in a exhaust system in the near future.

Well in that case Turbo back be the best buying for money as it will give you more power and a smoother flow,

Front pipe of r34 $249 ish Just jap, then buy a High Flow cat (depends what brand) and a muffler with pipping be around 1k for a custom Zaust

here's mine, Trust PE 2 with high flow cat and split front/dump pipe. it sounds heaps better in real life though, the video isn't the best but you get the idea.

just a tip, remove that youtube video asap. The boys in blue are known to search through public forums like this for that stuff, as well as youtube. Your number plate can be seen as clear as day. They can use that for a hoon charge, just be careful. Next time take your plates off :huh:

yeah cheers for the heads up mate, i thought they would have better things to do than watch my videos lol. but i took it down anyway, might do some editing then put it back up again. but R34P3R you should be able to find vids of pretty much all the good cat back systems on youtube. or you could just watch my bungy jump video lol it's good for a laugh.

no worries, you'd think cops would have better things to do but unfortunately they dont haha

if you every out n about filming in remote areas just leave a screwdriver or appropriate sized socket in your car to undo your plates, but i dont know much about that...

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
