Hey guys, 

Just thought id vent a little and see if anyone can help me... so i got pulled over and to be honest i was lucky the copper was pretty freindly not a total arse, he ran the wheel under the middle of the car (thank god not the front) which was fine, but noted the exhaust was a bit loud. He didn't pop the bonnet which was damn lucky... but yeah got the EPA letter just got it tested and 102db... and thats with the silencer in set to closed. 

So i really need to find a standard exhaust ASAP...

any help would be appreciated

Best thing to do, Ryan, is get a high-flow muffler added and make sure the exhaust shop/workshop tests it for a legal dB output reading.

At least that way you know you're not strangling the car with a too-small exhaust just so you can get it past the EPA.

Paul got the EPA, i have the spare stock exhaust... The exhaust on my car is very mellow, 3" with two proper oval mufflers >_<

Really? When I bought mine, it had one hot-dog resonator about 18" long and just the rear cannon on it. I never got it measured for noise, but it was headache-inducing on any long-ish trips, and never had any troubles with driving right next to police.

When I got the PFC, dump/front pipe and hi-flow cat installed, I also got them to add another muffler, the've removed the resonator completely.

Hey buddy can you let me know how you go with removing the centre muffler?

Any more performance and is it still reasonably quite?

I am going through the same thing with mine, it makes decent power at the moment but i was considering removing the centre muffler for a bit more noise because the exhaust now is so quiet that i cant without flooring her!

WOW!!!

WHAT A BUNCH OF LEGENDS RIGHT HERE!!!

Thanks heaps guys for all the offers, i am going to borrow ryno's cause i know where he lives and hopefully it will make the care real real quite... i spoke to Ben at racepace and he recons that even the standard exhausts on some GTRs don't pass... 90db is really really really quite its like stupidly quite. I haven't had a problem with cops up until now, its an age old story... your not in trouble until u get caught.

Anyway i need a good exhaust place to do the work for me, like i have a 3.5 inch system and i just want to quite it right down, all it needs is a highflow muffler in the middle and a big highflow oval muffler at the rear with some 3" twin tips... I have been quoted a full exhaust through racepace at 3.3k and i really don't wanna pay that... Anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers oh and thanks again all especially Ryan ill cya tonight champ

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
