hi all

got an r33 gtst series 2, when i bought the car it came with a trust 3" to 3.5" mild steel cat-back exhaust. sounds ok but not as loud or as good sounding as other r33's...after hearing afew other skylines out n about i realised there exhausts sound so tough and awesome...mine has a trust muffler/resonator thingo about 0.5meters after the cat...could this be the culprit?

i thought it could be the stock dump and cat so i changed them to the JJR stainless bell mouth front/dump in one and xforce 3" hi-flow cat...still no change

wot is needed to hav one realy nice rb sounding exhaust note, should i get rid of the muffler and get sum 3" pipe welded in its place?

ps. its got a big trust, jasma certified cannon with 5" tip

any info would be great, cheers

All I have is the front/dump pipe which is 3", high flow cat and a 3" cat back with only one muffler at the rear.

Most of the track days I have been at, I get some good feedback on how throaty mine sounds!

:D

one of my mates got a custom 2.5" system made up for him at an exhaust joint for $350

beats the living shit out of my straight thru 3" with xforce cannon

it has a really deep angry sound when idling and cruising, but when it gets up past about 4500rpm it sounds like it's about to tear your face off...

quite an aggressive sound really and cost considerably less than any of the brand name exhausts out there and still gave a decent power increase over the stocker

when you say 1 muffler at the rear, u mean the cannon right?

ive got a muffler abit after the cat, also realised its been hit sumwhere and has abit of a dint in one of the corners with a slight hole...

hmm

yeah just a cannon at the rear, its all u need.

before i had a full exhaust turbo back decat 3" no res only a trust muffler @ end and it sounded quite as, think those trust jasma mufflers do alot.

now i got 3.5" => trust res into two 2.5" going to two 3.5" blast pipes.

now it sounds tough as but a bit to loud for daily use. almost 80% of people will turn their heads and look and 100% of police. but i still cream my pants everytime i hear it

i think you need to let someone else drive your car so you can hear it from the oustide, because your used to your car you cannot really hear the toughness or notice it.

This happened to me, got a few videos and then realised damn she does sound tough as!

Try it

An aftermarket manifold changes the note alot IMO.

I wasnt really happy with mine until we changed the manifold, now the note is like all the GTR drag cars you see in vids only quieter :)

wait till you hear mine...lol

      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
