Hey guys,

I’ve recently picked up a GTS4 Rb25de, and the guy who had it before me put a cheap cannon exhaust muffler (you know the fart box ones for Hondas)

From what I have heard non ts don’t sound that good with non standard exhaust systems, so I am at puzzled what to do.

The current muffler aint that bad it just when cruzing in 4th and 3rd its 2 load, and it pisses me off. I’ve got a few options but am struggling to find the best one.

Its either get a silencer which seems the best option, put a new exhaust system (but apparently NAs dont sound that gd with non standard systems) or I have my sisters stock s15 full exhaust laying about in my shed.

If anyone’s got a gts4 what sounds good? And if anyone has any ideas a reply wld b appreciated?? Thanks

N/A's can sound awesome with aftermarket exhausts, ive got a 2.5" system from extractors to the cannon with a race cat......and its pretty much a straight through system its petty damn loud and it sounds awesome...except there is on part of the rev range that it sounds average...but thats easily fixed....

you just need to get a good system put on and stop listening to idiots that diss non turbs...coz theyre idiots

my car started out as a non turbo, but already came with a cat back momo course system... the rest was standard and it was fantastic, not drowny and absolutely barked when I put my foot down... but its a 3 and 1/2inch system, which is too big for an n/a.. so I dont know why it came on there, but now I miss that growl, turbos make it really quiet :blink:  unless boosting hard..

so have a look around, if you want something that you can control volume with, xforce make a muffler that can be controlled by remote to open and close a valve in the system to divert air around baffles or what ever you call them and makes the exhaust sound that quiet that it is legal... open up the valve and it is straight through and loud as buggery...

i hve an eclectic system that seems to work . coby headers. (d12) to cut down pipe and stock cat then three inch pipe bck to a reducer 3inch to 2.5 ..thena calsonic back box...

the car revs nice. and has a deep rumble, inthe oower range ..its an ccidnet of fate ive ended up with it but it seems to suit the car ...

only gripe is it hangs a tad low ...

you will find everyone likes there sound because they either made it to there 'specs' so your not going to get a straight answer. I would recommend looking into the actual parts (aftermarket ones or get a shops custom one, material and size) these are the factors that determine the sound. Then after that don't forget you have to alternate other parts with each component on the exhaust system to get a more distinct sound to your taste. Go to some exhaust shops that do some custom systems because i reckon a custom system is the best sounding and its not as much as aftermarket piece whih will be the same quality. They will talk every aspects from the quote to the materials and size you want :)

Becareful with your selection though, i've heard some terrible rb25de's that have that really annoying rasp sound in the mid range. Makes it sound like a dirty fart.

I've been driving around with the stock exhaust for a while, but i had a spare catback system from my brothers r33 gts which sounded really nice so i thought i would stick it on my r34. Suprise suprise it sounded the same on my car, really clean sounding with no rasp, picked up a bit of power in the top end too.

The cat back is just a custom system that can be made up at any good exhaust shop, its 2 1/2 inch with one redback resonator and one s/s cannon. I would recommend putting a resonator in there, it helps with the raspy sound that some na's get.

If i have time i'll try and post up a youtube vid of it.

did you have to modify the exhaust at all for it to fit your 34? i didnt know they were interchangable like that... and please do post a vid :) i really wanna hear it

the shape of the exhaust is identical, the r33 system might be the smallest of amounts longer (which makes sence because the r34s are shorter than r33s). The rubber mount locations are a little different, i was about an inch away from being able to use the stock mounts. I did a dodge and used cable ties as my friends to help "support" the mounts haha, its only staying on for a month or so until my new engine goes in, it was more for a laugh than anything :P

My neighbour is a real pain in the ass, so when i get a spare sec i'll give it a rev and upload it. Maybe tonight, or tomoz.

This is only a temp setup, its literally held on by cable ties... :D

if you want a tuff exhaust note , get a straight through

all depends on what you like.

straight through on a na? that would be stupidly loud for the street and sound like poo...

Just the drone you would get on the freeway would make you want to drive straight into a tree

as i said, depends on what you like.

hks silent power would sound good on the NA imo

i have a straight through on my car but my HKS dump pipes give it a beefier note as opposed to stock pipes

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
