hello SAUers,

i have a Fujistubo Super-Ti Titanium 3.5 inch catback exhaust on my R33 GTR, as you will all know they are known for being quiet, i mean the car is loud past 3500 rpm buts its really quiet on idle, i was happy with it but sometimes i do feel like having a louder exhaust that is a bit louder when on idle as well, im currently geting work done on the car and also put in a high flow cat and JJR Front Pipes, i was told this would alongside increasing flow also give the car a deeper note, but i am wondering whether its worth it to get the resonator cut out and put in a straight pipe, would this help with flow as well or will is just increase the exhaust volume?

its a tough decision as currently cops never hassle me as the exhaust is under the legal limit and quiet on idle when i get pulled over, is it worth getting this done and have the extra attention from police and possible defects ?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Adam

Leave it alone - good front pipes and a high flow cat will improve flow rates and deepen the exhaust note at idle - it did for me.

When I warm my GTR up it is reasonably quiet up close but the deep note resonates that much that it makes my car port vibrate and rumbles up and down the street just to upset the neighbours. Once warm it is nice and quiet down low to keep the cops happy but as soon as you open it up it has a strong note.

The other thing that the resonator does is to stop the drone when you are cruising along - the drone is something that gives me the shits very quickly.

Give it a try and see if you like it - you can always change the resonator some time in the future if you want to.

I run HKS Priest exhausts on my R33's. These have a front muffler, a resonator and then the rear muffler. The resonator looks like a hot dog muffler and just takes the growl out of the note.

My son has a Trust exhaust with just a front and rear mufflers and it is quite a bit louder.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
