how to get awsome sounding exhust for skyline

[93_180sx]

hey my next car is goin to be a skyline once ive sold my 180, ive heard some skylines with a really nice notes to there exhuasts (deep roar) etc and was wondering how to get this?. does it matter on size of exhaust? 3 inch or 3.5 inch, muffler, custom or jap brand or is it somethin else.

cheers

i would stay 2.5" with the pipe. it is not necessarily only the pipe diameter that creates what it is you are looking for: it is more in how the components of the exhaust system are set up. for one, you may want to try a resonator. this is an in-line component that will keep the phatter exhaust pipe from sounding tinny. also, the choice of cat will affect the sound, as will the initial pipes leading off the engine (exhaust manifold). you can get a high-flow manifold, header, and that will dramatically change the sound quality. next is the muffler itself. the larger the bore, the deeper the sound; the smaller the bore, typically, the higher the note. there is no "right" exhaust system or "wrong" exhaust system. it depends on how much money you want to sink into it, and what is available to you. and it depends upon the number of cars you personally research and listen to. people tend to like greddy; i have magnaflow. check out random technologies cat.

i find that skylines in general with jap exhausts (3" normally)have a very distinct note to them much like a rexy. u can tell its a skyline even before u see it. i guess the quality of the note also depends on the material used and wall thickness?? my mate has a custom stainless turbo back sys on his 180 and it sounds very hollow and tingy. does ur 180 sound simliar??

mild hpc copated steel piping delivers the best sounding exhaust note, even better with an external w/g. stainless steel gives a slight drony-tinny noise and titaniun is only a louder version of s/s

Please pay no heed to this post.

2.5" exhaust... WTF? Maybe for a Naturally aspirated car like a Maxima, but turbocharged cars need as little backpressure as possible.

The bigger the better.

yeh i have a 3 inch exhaust from the turbo on my 180 with hi-flow cat and resonator and it sounds pretty mean, yeah bonze what the **** are you on about? are you a serious member on this board?, also would there be any difference if the external wastegate vented back into the exhaust sound any different or just vent it to atmosphere? also guys ive been a very long member on nissansilvia.com and know alot of shit about cars so ill just let you's know im not a newb to this.

cheers.

oh yeah ive seen blast (brand) mufflers on alot of skylines and they sound deep as all shit.

and can you guys check out this site and watch the short clips from uniques skyline, 1mb or less of there exhaust that sounds ****ing crazy

If you want a nice sounding exhaust make sure you have a muffler and a resonator. Removing the resonator will or should create a crackly sound. That is the basis with V8's not to sure if it applies to the Skyline but I see no reason why it shouldn't.

I've got a custom aussy built s/steel exhaust that set me back $1700. Its a 3" from the turbo, 7litre high flow 3" cat, s/steel large hot dog looking resonator in the middle and a large rear s/steel polished rear muffler with a 3" s/steel tip to keep things looking stock.

It doesn't drone in the car but is louder than most jap exhaust skylines. It has more of an Straight Aussy 6 grunty type sound. I compared it to sounding similiar when cruising along to my old 250cortina that had a set of extractors & 2.5" exhaust.

I have heard 1 R33 that sounded absolutly awesome. Not sure which exhaust he had but i'd prefer it over the sound of a V8 it was that nice.

It sounded hell grunty with a really deep loud note where you could hear alomost every cyclinder firing not the muffled deep sound. Not to loud where it was annoying though.

mine sounds almost identical to that unique one

Jasma exhaust system

I think i still have the stock dump pipe tho so hmm

wonder if it will get louder hehe !

I have Trust MX exhaust. Nice sounding exhaust note. Deep grunt when launching then turns into a very sweet rush exhaust note... Not tinny or crackling whatsoever. Its basically come with a resonator and proper size rear muffler with a 4" tip.

The front pipe won't make it louder cos I have it on mine and doesn't make a difference. The only time where you will start to make it so loud is if you put an atmo-venting dump pipe, or in other word: screamer pipe.

I've heard a Kakimoto exhaust in action on a 600ps R32 GTR, best sounding Skyline i've ever heard

[~Hypnotik~]

Kakimoto exhausts sound very good on on a RB25 too. Not too loud either.

Today I also heard a Go-Zigen (5Zigen) exhaust system on an R33 GT-R. It also has a nice deep sound to it without being too loud too.

I think mine is also a kakimoto exhaust...turbo back system with a massive catalytic converter. It's quiet, but sounds perfect.

going into underground carparks and stuff, u can hear a very bass-y growl, shakes things around u. Turns heads n what not...I've received plenty of compliments.

It puts the turbo's sound into the limelight as well instead of drowning it out. makes a good combination sound when u're thrashing the car around. Sounds like a jet almost.

I got a 5Zigen exhaust and I love it.... very meaty sound when your fair up it, but a very low and intimidating sound at idle
