does anyone has a NISMO "3 INCH FROM CAT BACK 5 INCH CARBON FIBRE TIP" Exhaust? the model number is 20100-RN591. i wanted to know whether it is EPA legal and it has any drone to it? my R33 is stock standard. planning to buy it second hand. i m after an exhaust which sounds a bit more than stock.

attaching a few pics as well.

Hi Mate,

I've the same exhaust on my R, and it's a very quite exhaust. It will easily come in under 90db, but if you plan on going for more than 320rwkw, this aren't the exhaust for you (i found this out the hard way).

Auto's do tend to be a little louder driving around.

However it is 3", has two mufflers that are of moderate size... it shouldn't be too far off legal, but not terribly loud at the same time. I suspect it would still be over 90dB however (if you are Vic)

Just keep your stock exhaust and swap over should you be pinned.

The EPA laws are so flawed in their design, application and archaic in nature that it's just easier to keep the stocker and swap back.

If you get 3 EPA's for exhaust noise you will be hauled in for a full test. Also if Police/EPA stations take photo's of the aftermarket exhaust, and you rockup with a stock one, things might become difficult after a while.

But look, you should be right. I've had more EPA's than i've had speeding fines and defects put together... and im still going strong because @ the end of the day, the Police can report you to the EPA without proof or even hearing the car, so if it ever goes to court over a suspension it will fall over.

Did you actually have to go through a test to confirm?

90dB @ 5100rpm is VERY quiet, so quiet the factory exhaust barely passes :)

But ye basic rule

3" = upto 300rwkw.

3.5" = 300-400rwkw

4" = 400rwkw+

You might have a point there, i was more going by feel. My old gtst went through the test, and it came upto 91db, whereas this seems a lot quieter. Than again the revs they test the gts and gtr are different.

Another point to keep in mind is, the older the exhaust gets, the louder it starts to sound(not by much, but it does generally get louder)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
