Put your stock exhaust back on, install a shitty cat converter (So a non high flow one) and put in a resinator just before the rear muffler.

Test it and see how you go.

That should shut the F**king EPA up.

he did test it in the open, it was outside in the carpark area at 9.30 am very little traffic, and he did it like 3 or 4 times.

in reference to ur quiet/sport mode question my 34 has a swith under the dash from factory to make the exhast go louder or quieter by directing the exhaust gas into either side of the muffler (one is fatter and one is skinner)

lilydale is a big drive for me but it might be worth it i guess because my car is not really loud at all

That sounds like a Varex muffler or something, never seen that stock on a 34 GTT. also, why the hell did they make you rev it to 5000rpm? when mine got tested it was to 4000-4500rpm from memory

yes they can its happened to me twice now, once for my supra na and now the 34, the supra however was f**king loud lol. na with extractors and a straight 3 inch pipi no cat and 4 inch muffler

na supras are the lodest things around with even a small exhaust..... friend at work has it with just a 3.5 cat back and it is atleast 3 times as loud as my turbo back 3-3.5inch....

i recon it also has to do with the type of metal used..... my fujitsubo exhaust is actually very quite compared to similar exhaust made of different material....

All NA cars are loud because the turbo stops the exhaust resonating.

it is the stock exhaust dude. it has the cat in it from compliance.

i have a resonator and a muffler in my boot which i will be hopefully putting on tonight and then testing again in the morning,

How far away from the exhaust tip did he have the microphone?

From your description he had it right at the exhaust tip...

i reckon it was about 50-70cm away and he had it a little bit of angle as well, he had this triangle shaped ruler to measure it (the distance)

Isnt it the Nismo exhaust option that was factory on some R34 GTT that has the switch to swap between the 2 mufflers?

well mine has a swith on it just under the steering wheel is says sport and quiet ( i think) i honestly cant tell the difference between the 2 setting until high revs really. i left it in quiet mode for the test obviously.

Cool!

Get the resonator and the muffler put on and see how you go...

You will probley find that the exhaust will be very restrictive, so don't hammer it too hard.

Untill you goto the EPA and let them rev it, pass the test then free it up again.

I'm sure someone's posted the link to this file before but no harm doing it again. Heres the file for the ADR standard used for testing exhaust to 90dB.

ADR_28.01_FRLI_Mar_06.pdf

Maybe I should bring my car to have it tested by someone to see whats the dB level. I really have no idea how does 85dB and 95dB sound like on a car. How much does it cost to get it tested by someone anyone knows? Or getting those dB meter on ebay (50bucks cheapass) will do the trick? I'm probably hijacking the thread but does anyone know if the Trust Ti-R come with a baffle? Mine seems to be straight thru and someone told me before Ti-R arent that loud to begin with. Heres the spec provided by Trust.

From the looks of it it should be on the 94dB level but my friend who's heard it told me it'll probably be 98 or even higher (I'm thinking its the baffle that was removed). And also does being an N1 affect the noise...?

Let me know what you've done as I'm really looking for alternatives to current exhaust or modifying it to a decent dB level (90-92 if not below 90). Cheers!

the test was $35.00

dont weld anything into your system. you know that security screen shit that some backdoors ect. have, its metal with lots of little holes in it, get some of that or something similar, cut it out in the shape of a gasket and stick it somewhere in your system, and dont thrash your car when your restricting the exhaust system also. i was speaking to the owner of an exhaust shop and he told me this is how all the big v8s get over the pits.

    • 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
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
