(Skline01999)If you dont mind me asking, have you had your Db ever tested on the system???

Apparently it should sit around 92Db on a regu 06 which is about 12Db more than the Kakimoto R and seeing its on my NA i should be a bit louder but like i said the muffler does quieten everything down very well and if i had a regu 06 it would be way over the 92Db mark.

Nah I havnt had it tested , but up to 5000 from hearing its sounds like stock then it starts to get louder.

If you are in the SE suburbs, head down to Sabbadin Automotive and have him make you a custom system. The Jap exhaust on my GTR was loud and did drone. We tried a few different combos and now my car sounds great but has no drone at all and still flows as much as the loud Jap system.

Give him a call hand ask him about the mufflers we used on Dave's Black GTR, he will know what you are talking about.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks Dave, I always thought Sabbadin was up North West.. shows what I know :banana: I think I'll have to give them a call or drop in there and have a chat.

Is your exhaust "legal" as in fairly quite? Was it comparable in price to the good jap systems?

Cheers,

Phil

looks a lil worse for wear. could do with some paint but meh. noone sees it and theres no holes or leaks.

too quiet for me. want something louder. it had DTM angled tips wen i got it so i got em chopped off and replaced with 2 3' straight pipes.

I've seen some images of yours in some other threads SLY. It does look (and sound) good by the reviews I've seen but that model is now discontinued as far as I can tell. In the photo looking at the tips the large bends in the piping under the HICAS look fairly low, does that pass the 100mm test?

I've been too busy at work to be able to call Sabbadin yet. I don't know how this will compare in price vs a Fujitsubo, plenty of pricing around for the kakimotos? No one looks to stock the Kakimoto.R's but I think the Fujitsubo Legalis R would look a bit better. I's all a bit hard though as as mentioned there's just no good images of them. You'd think there would be a few angled shots of each model exhaust on a car.. I mean they've gone to the trouble of making it fit on the car so it's been on one at some stage, all they had to do was take a photo, it's not that hard! (end rant :blink:)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
