Hey guys,

Due to stupid police, I'm swapping my cat-back for the original OEM GTR cat-back. I know I will be loosing some power and agressive sound with the OEM cat-back.

What can I swap/upgrade to my setup to get back my lost power and sound? I'm thinking about getting a GLUTTED cat.

Anything else?

Thanks!

My mechanician told me about an electric valve with a Y piping, when on the track could help my performance. what do you think? is it worth 300$ ?

Nothing will give you performance back with a factory exhaust. Simple as that.

What you need to do is have a decent exhaust made/built. You can have a 3" exhaust that is legal without a drama.

Electronic valves are still illegal. So totally pointless.

What R31Nismoid said, or try and find a 3" cat back exhaust with an oval shape muffler.

That should keep the dB levels down at the same time have a better flow then stock.

Fujitsubo make decent exhaust that are quiet and still keep a very good flow.

What state are you in?

Just put the stock catback on, pass EPA/clear defect then put your aftermarket one back on

Exhausts with electronic valve control are awesome for being quiet on the street, at the end of the day they are probably illegal but if your exhaust isn’t making a loud noise then no-one is going to look at it are they?

Stock Cat is restrictive but your better off getting a highflow one

I'm in canada, we don't have the same rules. DB levels isn't a problem here in Canada!

You probably gonna have to tell us the whole story before we can try and help you... :ermm:

So why are you posting up about noise issues - if noise is not an issue?

I don't think he mentioned a noise issue other than losing the aggressive noise by changing.

Maybe a mounty pulled him up for too shiny?

Okay the problem in canada is that we can't swap an exhaust component that don't respect the OEM spec. 95% of the cars made are not STRAIGHT-PIPE ( or free-flow). There's so many sh*tvic out there with aftermarket racing exhaust that any police officer use a tape to measure how long his tape goes into the exhaust before hitting something. So, if his tape goes throught the whole cat-back, he will think i'm not legal because it's not normal to be straight-pipe.

I KNOW the OEM BNR cat-back is straight-pipe but these morons can't understand this fact. this is why I want to swap it for a OEM.

Sound/DB is also an issue but police officer don't have dm meter in their car to measure how loud is my GTR, so I don't care about sound because I know it's impossible to get a ticket for DB because they can't prove it.

Make sure you have good aftermarket dump pipes and good aftermarket front pipe (or sometimes called "y-pipe"), a metal type very high flow cat, then get a custom 2.75" cat-back with 2 or 3 straight-through oval mufflers. Will be quiet and will produce plenty of power over stock.

I have a glutted OEM cat. The OEM cat-back is 3 inch and straight-through design. What kind of downpipe should I look for? any good aftermarket japanese brand?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
