Where To Get Custom (quiet) Exhaust Made

Hi Guys,

Dos anyone here know where I should go in order to get a custom made cat back exhaust made up that will fall within the 92db range. My curent 3 inch turbo back system flows well, but is really loud. I'm looking for something that is relatively quiet, yet still flows well.

I went to see a well known exhaust place in Campbellfield earlier today and they told me not to bother, as you can't get a decent flowing 3 inch exhaust system that will still be legal. I'm not sure if they were telling me porkies, because I've heard it can be done.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I should go in order to have this done? R31Nismoid, if you're reading this, where did you get your system made up? (I read in another thread that your system is pretty quiet).

Thanks people.

Adam.

both my cars are legal with magnaflow setups.... Stagea is Catco highflow cat, generic mid muffler with magnaflow rear, Rowville exhaust centre did the work

32 is just a magnaflow rear with an EVC, was a cannon before that, massive difference, might swap the EVC for another muffler at some point though... Glen at Mufflers and more did that diff back- 0450 675 984

+1 for Racepace, if budget permits.

Speaking from personal experience, I have a Racepace 3.5 inch custom exhaust which is quiet as stock, but gives high flow. I have not had any complaints from EPA, neighbours and cops.

Now I am upgrading to a 4 inch :P

According to the EPA letter I recieved its 92db.

Great! I hope thats the same across different state (I should check that out). I'm a bit paranoid over the limit as mine is just on the line of 92 and thinking that 90 is the limit kinda made me wanna downgrade to a quieter Regu06 (Justjap just had them in stock). Thats a thumbs up for people chasing legal exhaust dB as I find 90dB is almost impossible to reach for most aftermarket exhaust (as it varies from mods and vehicle). Heres the ADR I've got and I've seen someone posting a vehicle model specific test rpm level on the forum before too.

Its not 92 dB, read the letter again :ermm:

Aaah, damn it. Must have read it wrong, there are a whole bunch of numbers and big words and stuff, i'm easily confused :)

How much $ do you think i'd be looking at in order to get a legal exhaust made up by these racepace guys, Nismoid?

ive got an exhuast that im willing to start renting out, its not a 3 inch but makes your car so quiet that its funny. Its a cat back exhaust. Its approx 106mm from the centre to centre of each bolt. It has a 52mm tip. No kidding, it is really quiet, sounds quieter then the missus' hoover. Im willing to rent it out at a slab of jim beam or $80 plus $300 deposit, to be returned when the exhaust comes back. Im also willing to help put it on. I will only help if available.

This was purchased to pass an epa when i got done for being to loud with my cannon. Got used on epa test only. This passed my r33 gtst at 82 db!!

Thanks anyway mate, but i kept the stock exhaust, so i'm gonna change it back on the weekend. I think I might get a kakimoto regu 06&r cat back in the near future. I've heard they're pretty quiet, i still don't think it will beat 90bd though. Probably a bit cheaper than the $1500+ quote I got to make a custom 3 inch cat back that will flow well and meet EPA requirements.

if your catback with a cannon on the end already has a proper mid muffler just get a new diff back system made up with a magnaflow 3" in/out 4"x11" oval by 14"body rear muffler. should be legal easily. stagea is 86db

The exhaust I have is a full 3 inch turbo back, with nothing but a hi flow cat, hot dog and a cannon lol. It's ridiculously loud, hence why I really need to change it. I'll change it back to stock for the EPA test and then look for something more suitable. Even if the exhaust was CLOSE to the 90db I would be happy. I've been doing some research, it looks like the Kakimoto o6&r might be a winner, or maybe the fujitsubo. Does anyone know of any other off the shelf cat backs that would be close to 90db?

I just bought a nice Kokimoto Jasma approved full stainless exhaust in excellent condition for $300, go to those places where they import cars, they're usually import these cars with those exhausts on and take them off once they compliance them.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
