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're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
