nope... its like us... as soon as we get em done we make em loud again :(

mine is JASMA approved cause it has an extra muffler... which im going to remove this weekend to see what she really sounds like :)

yeah mine is jasma complied

i removed that second muffler or resonator

it cost me 50 bucks to replace it with straight thru pipe

but man it sounds sooo much better now

idle is a lil louder but still quiet

but when you start revving it, man its sounds like a whole new exhaust. starting to get popping as well and more of a evident droning sound as opposed to before.

btw is it illegal to chop off the resonator thingy?

btw is there a difference between dump pipe and front pipe

or are they exactly the same thing?

cos i asked the guy that chopped off my resonator how much for a dump pipe

he said 220 fitted

im was like wtf that seems incredibly cheap

they are different... dump is the part off the turbo... front pipe is the pipe from the cat to the dump... well im pretty sure thats what they are... i brought a dump and front pipe in one for 200 from Steve (phat32) keep forgetting to call ICE to get it installed... they said it would only be about 80 to install.

Depends, some "dump" pipes are like one-piece from the turbo to the cat, others are split into two pieces where one is the "dump pipe" and the rest is the "front pipe".

Mine is like 2 pieces. Think it helps when you get a bigger turbo as rather than replacing the whole thing, you just replace the dump bit so it fits the new larger turbo.

ok so we took it to daalder on friday...

"no way"

was the response lol

in other words he said it was a waste of time welding a resonator in cause it wont make it the legal limit either rofl.

its cause its a fat straight pipe with a near hollow cannon on the end... its the end pipe that makes it so loud as well apparently...

oh well i didnt like the exhaust anyway i thought it looked ugly. Going to put something nice a polished and shiney on it once we get pass this EPA thing.

inark

i have a cat back HKS system, but recently replaced the rear canon with the standard muffler, i.e had an 's' pipe made to fit the standard muffler to the 3 1/2 inch HKS pipe and the results were amazing....took it from 100+ db to 84 db ......

so the rear muffler determines the loudness is my point.

I got done too.. EPA sent me a nice letter to tell me mine was too loud... pfft..

I didnt think mine was that loud...

Got it tested on Friday.. and its 95db.. :P

They are going to put a smaller resonator (spelling) on it :)

replacing the 3' with a 2'.. they said it shouldnt restrict it too much... What do you guys think???

permanently? i don't like it. That means you're effectively reducing the entire exhaust to 2". Get a 3" straight through resonator or a 'daalder magic resonator" (still 3") and get that put in the system under the car. That should bring 95dB down to 89.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
