bloody soarer!

[chopobo]

three words

JASMA complied muffler

[akeenan]

what are you trying to say?

my old trust system was jasma complied

and that was 700db

[funkymonkey]

yeah so was mine... jasma complied and no CAT

[inark]

chop jasma doesnt mean dik

Its just a government std that all exhausts in japan must have for road legal reasons etc... from memory.

[PurpleR32]

I know ICE PERFORMANCE has (had?) one for sale. Last time I was there anyway. Call Nigel and ask. Bold on type of affair

[inark]

cool will call them this afternoon... have to book my car in to get the front and dump pipe put on cause i cant be bothered doing it myself

[chopobo]

i woulda thought jasma labeled exhausts would be a bit more restrictive and more quieter

[inark]

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

[chopobo]

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?

[Ronin 09]

My trust one is jasma stamped... 109dBs worth.

Chop it's not illegal to actually remove it, but if you're car is over the 89dB then the exhaust system is illegal...

[chopobo]

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

[inark]

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.

[predator]

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.

[inark]

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.

[Jetdat]

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.

[akeenan]

id say more to the point any muffler in the system determines the loudness.

[TeeZnU]

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..

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???

[Ronin 09]

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.

[akeenan]

yes dont reduce it to 2inch. there are other ways of fixing your exhaust .. try daalder hopefully it will work

[TeeZnU]

Ok.. thanx heaps guys... ill be cancelling.. and booking into daalder. theyre in dandy arent they??
