Hi,

Ive recently bought a r34 25gt, the previous has removed the original muffler and replaced it with some cheap dodgy one. I am planning on replacing it.Do you guys have any suggestion from something that is value for money? I am also on my red p's. will I become cop bait, if i change it?

Thank you

If I was you I would be replacing the system from the cat back. You'll be able to either get a custom one made up or perhaps find an aftermarket japanese system on the forums etc.

Most people will tell you not to go any bigger than a 2.5" system on an NA car like yours however I'm running 3.5" HKS on my RB25DE and my mate has a Blitz system which is 3" and they both perform fine. That said, my brother is using a custom 2.5" catback system and I can definitely notice more response and power down low in the rev range.

How much do you have to spend? A custom mandrel bent catback from an exhaust shop will probably charge you around the $500 mark give or take a little?

Hope that helped a bit.

i'd go something like a 2.5" lukey performance flow. it's an oval muffler and not a cannon, so should help reduce police attention. also being an oval muffler it will be a touch quieter than a cannon. i recently got one put on my SSS pulsar and along with 2.25" piping (and 2.5" muffler) it is quieter than the old 2" system that was on there with a smaller bodied 2" oval muffler. also shouldn't cost that much to get fitted. i was quoted $120 for muffler and fitting at my local muffler place, but ended up being a bit more cause i got the extra piping done (ended up being $170 all up)

I love magnaflow mufflers, look and sound. Oval straight through centre offset, they're a mandrel preforated pipe that are fibreglass packed and use absorption to reduce noise, and that type of muffler (straight through) gives the best performance (minimal backpressure).

I've got a satin stainless one at the rear, and the biggest (longest) hotdog resonater i can find before the diff. It's a 3" system on my RB30DE, sounds unreal, you'd obviously be after a 2.5" though.

My car is quite loud (however its slightly different to a standard rb25de) but has absolutely no drone, it just rumbles down low and screams with revs. I'll change the hotdog to a centre/center straight through at somepoint, just to quieten it down so its more street drivable (when i want to street drive it, down the track).

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
