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.

    • 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.
