Hi everyone, i have full exhaust system, HKS dump and front pipe, trust 94mm catback, it is just too loud for everyday drive. my car made 340KW on 1.45bar, 280KW on 1bar, if I use silencer and low boost, drive it hard, will it damage the engine (maybe too much back pressure)?? i can hear the noise of air resistance when full boost (1bar) over 5k or 6k rpm.

I tried many exhaust shop, only 2 option to quiet my exhaust: 1 is change a small system, 2 is put the silencer in.

anyone give some idea??? i don't want damage the engine by using a silencer:(

thanks!

option 3, change the mufflers in the system so it isnt as loud.

no room for a mid muffler:( replace the rear one? not much different:(

i think if put a silencer is ok, nothing damage the engine, i will just put the silencer in. cheap and easy.

There is always room for a mid muffler. I know plenty of GTR's with dual mufflers.

One before, one after the diff... hell that's how it came factory!

You can fit one in, it's just a matter of finding a decent exhaust place that is willing to do it.

Or sell the Trust exhaust and have another one made. Either way it'll work out around the same price.

If you put a silencer in, you are effectively making the exhaust what, 2" maybe less? (depending on outlet size).

If you then intend to even ATTEMPT to put your foot down you are going to do some severe overall damage without question.

That much backpressure with turbo's that flow that much is never going to end pretty

Im with Titan - fix it properly.

use a couple of magnaflow resonators between the cat-converter and the rear muffler

also, Id suggest replacing the muffler if the resonators dont help.

a resonator in my system helped remove some drone

- simply 3" dump, gutted cat, magnaflow 3"resonator, kakimoto 3" straight through GTR racing muffler

definately more room in mine to add another muffler and/or resonator

OK thanks mate

so will it have some engine knock show on the PFC? or it will damage the engine without any sign?

if i put the silencer and drive normally, maybe a few foot down? is that ok?

Dude just take the silencer out of the equation! i noticed a pretty big performance decrease in my old GTT when i put a silencer in an that had a standard turbo!

Plus it sounded shit.

Have you tried breathing through a straw? try blowing as hard as you can an see how you feel

It's not about "how many times can i put the foot down with a restrictor", its as simple as do not do it

The motor & turbo will be destroyed if you attempt to plant your foot down.

Think about it. The turbos are spinning hard to produce the boost, and then hitting restriction becasue it cannot get it all out.

So literally as the others have said... use a straw...

1. Suck in through your nose fast as possible.

2. Blow out through the straw fast as possible.

Now the trick here is, you have to blow it out as fast as you sucked it in. Not going to happen now is it? :cool:

You'll blow your bl00dy eyeballs out before you get it out at the same rate as it went in. So imagine what'll happen to the motor - much the same effect.

3" exhaust is to small, forget that. You need a 3.5" - 4".

Get one custom made, any decent exhaust or performance place will be able to do it.

My twin 2.5" --> merge --> 3.5" exhaust is ~ 90-91dB. Borderline legal depending on the time of day basically.

You can have performance, and you can have a quiet exhaust.

does the PFC will show some high knock, if backpressure is big enough to damage the engine or turbo?

I wont answer that because it sounds like you want to "try" it and just "watch" for knock. Which is extremely silly.

Engine detonation isn't the be all and end all mate.

For the sake of the converstation - with a restrictor in - DO NOT EVEN COME ONTO BOOST.

That clear enough?

yeah clear enough!

the fact is i have foot down a few times with silencer, the knock is 20 max which is ok. but i can feel the power is like shit. is there any chance of engine damage by a few full boost?(about 10 times total?) hope no damage:(

mate what 3.5 catback you got?? thanks!

I use a silencer in mine when i need to drive the car on the street. I take it out for late night cruises :cool:

With it in i never go over 10psi or rev the engine out.

If you need it everyday just get the exhaust sorted properly.

yeah mate, but some time its hard to control my right foot:) most skyliner should understand it. haha

Silencer is totally fine, it will restrict flow LESS than the standard exhaust. It will change the grab point on the clutch and how much rpm etc you have to use. It will feel strange.

IMO get a varex exhaust, weld a different pipe one the engine and grind off the label. Remote controlled. Otherwise buy my ECV.

P.S dont worry you can rev the shit off it with no issues.

yeah, sure its strange. EVC is only 80mm, but my pipe is 94mm:(

HOHO,do you mean rev it with a silencer? but the huge back pressure will make some damage??

Do what i did. Get a varex put in underneath the car on flanges, then get a straight 3" pipe made on flanges and switch between the two depending on what you want to do with the car.

That way you have:

Super loud - straight 3"

Loud - Varex open

Silent - Varex closed

Bit of a pain, but gets the best of both worlds.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
