it really comes down to the choice of mufflers. simply make sure it has a big centre resonator and a big oval rear muffler (no cannons). it may be worth looking at a twin system something like a twin 2.5 or 2.75" system may be another option to look at (or even twin 3"), as you will be able to get muffler with good noise attenuation in those sizes.

How about a custom system with two centre resonators/mid mufflers? Also twin tip big oval rear muffler?

I am in the UK, so please nothing made only in Oz, no offence :devil:

Looking for a track day exhaust for an R33 GTS-t on an RB26 engine running 280 degree cams and 2860 -10 turbos, so it's a bit vocal at the top end. Has to be 100% sure of passing all UK track day noise tests, I don't care WHAT it sounds like, it just has to be very quiet and with as little restriction as possible. As an example an HKS Hi Power Silent is FAR FAR too loud, I need something as close to stock noise levels as possible. Thanks. 102 Db static, at about 4000 RPM needed absolute tops.

Would you be better off with less aggressive cams and a normal (performance) exhaust like a HKS Silient?

Just thinking laterally a bit.

My Noise RB was fixed with a fujitsubo, my quiet RB already had a fujitsubo. Different models, both slightly louder than stock (3.5inch), if that still isn't good enough get another resonator welded inline. http://www.nengun.com sell them internationally AFAIK.

^ problem with quite a large number of Jap 3.5" exhausts - they aren't really 3.5" at all.

They have step downs to 3" near the mufflers/resonators etc to keep the noise down which hurts performance etc.

Buy the Racepace Mufflers themselves, get them posted to you and then get a local place to make up the piping in between. Done.

I agree 450rwkw -10 turbos with a 3" exhaust sounds interesting. By interesting I mean crap.

I hear what you are saying re a locally built one off, but past experience has shown some one ofs fail miserably in the noise department, so many companies are into huge bore systems and massive exhaust tips it's hard to drum into them that I want *QUIET*, modest pipe sizes for ground clearance and still more silencing, and care not a hoot about looks or "that special sound". I just want to tip up at any UK circuit KNOWING it will pass the noise tests, even if it's 70 BHP down on its potential. Thanks. Any contact info for the RacePace system for sale, or RacePace themselves?

If someone wants quite system with good flow this is what would i recommend.

It's custom made SMB oval muffler 3.5" in/out ,rest of the piping is custom 3.5" and I also used hotdog from my old Kakimoto that we chopped up.

It's very quite (dare to say 90-92dB) and there was no noticeable power loss,in fact power went from 466>482rwhp but I can't say it was due to mods to exh. system coz runs were not made on the same day(1st run 6 months prior).

I'd be guessing you wont be 90-92dB @ 5100rpm... My 3.5" has 2 mufflers, the larger of the two is bigger than your single one to start off with and i could only manage 91 :)

Would be good if you could go and get it tested so you know rather than guess. Sound level is very hard to estimate.

Hi, I am the original poster from way back :) The car has what I believe is a Fujitsumo system (is that how it's spelt?) and a fairly big slience where the cat would be. On 280 degree, 10.5 mm lift cams through Garrett 2860 -10 turbos with the smaller turbine size option, it makes between 95 and 98 Db @ .5 meter away from, and at 45 degrees to the tailpipe, on an RAC MSA noise meter, tested by RAC MSA scrutineers here in the UK. I am sure a freer flowing system could unlock more power through less back pressure, but I am am adamant I will not go to track days wondering if the thing will pass a noise test or not, nor have to spend hours packing borderline re packable silencers every time it goes anywhere :) I will try and get a photo of the old system that I found for it, the car should be on the ramp today or tomorrow, I am only going by hearsay as to the make, maybe someone will recognise it? It will need replacing before too long, although it's still pretty sound (pardon the pun...) at the moment. Thanks for the replies.

Yes, inhouse.

Any idea how much roughly a legal custom exhaust (dump, front pipe, cat, catback) would cost from the likes of racepace? Lets say it's expected to flow between 300awkw to 350awkw.

cool. sounds like a fine solution. it's spelt Fujitsubo btw. :)

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
