some good points here guys...thanks

im gona definetly get my bro in-law to drive it while i drive my mums camry, it'l be interestin to hear it from outside and wot other ppl can hear, when both opening it up and just crusing...

if stil not happy out goes the muffler in goes the 3" pipe in its position....

:)

Mine got a lot louder when i got rid of the stock turbo.

Then when i had the HKS cams it got ridicolous, when a cop pulled me up after i got them he said "she's a bit loud aint she?" i was like "yeah she's a bit angry" and he just noded and let me go lol. First good cop ever.

Point of the story, get rid of the stock turbo and get some cams lol.

cams on a 1600 made it go from meh to headache inducing. I think the stag sounds shit in it, but if i rev it standing outside it sounds farken sweet, and neighbours mentioned when they have heard it how good it sounds at WOT

ive got a 3 inch turbo back system from jjr with a metalcat cat converter, Sounds sweet to me, loud but not unbearably so. Sounds menacing at low revs and turns into a really angry bark higher in the revs. Would be the way to go if you have a tight budget in mind.

I had an exhaust place make me a 3" mandrel system with two magnaflow straight thru mufflers. standard cat

then i had it ceramic coated.

really quiet. I flew past a mate on the way home from work the other day. He said all he could hear was turbo whistle...

I have aftermarket manifold standard turbo and aftermarket dump pipe.

I had the mufflers fitted with bolt flanges so i can just pull them out and fit straight pipe easy.

Cams make a HUGE difference to the sound.

Even with stock cams and adjustable cam gears you can get a noticeable change. Pulling 2-3 degrees out of the exhaust cam on my set up would make the difference between pass and fail noise emissions....The bigger your exhaust is, the more cams will change the note...

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

this is so true.

i used to hear them drive past me n think fk that sounds tough

until my mate drove my car for me and i realised mine sounded even crazier. i'm not sure why its hard to notice the RB growl when your inside the car probably because the exhaust is behind you facing outward.

do what my mate done best sounding car its an s13 with an rb20

hes just got dump to decat pipe to nothing (yep he just took it all off) - little scary following him and seeing massive flames coming from underneath the car just infront of the fuel tank

my mate had a high mount t04e on a stainless mani and and external venting. he also had a cat. 3inch off the turbo with a 5inch tip. That thing sounded sooooo angry even on idle. When the external opened up, it scared every other pedestrian and driver on the road haha. sounded Better then a V8.

When he got rid of the cat, it was even louder. scary. i remember i was sittin in the passengers and he started it up and it kinda felt like my head was vibrating..

Personally, too me a car that is just ridiculously loud pushing 120db doesn't do it for me. (referencing to some people talking about no cats/mufflers/straight pipes etc). I prefer a car that has a nice deep tough note. I've heard plenty of RB's, SR's, V8's etc that sound like a banshee screaming its head off, but sound absolutely horrible. Ever heard a SR with no exhaust........no thanks.

Just my choice though.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
