yes and no mate, in the end, we drive turbo cars, the exhaust needs get to out, the better you can make it flow the more efficient your engine will be.

3.5-4ich exhuasts seam to work on GTRs.

i had a 4inch exhaust on my gtr, it was loud... So i did alot of research into how the exhaust system works, and this is what i came up with to find that happy medium.

The way i see it, the exhaust is more dence when its hot, therefore it needs more area. So it needs to be bigger closest to the engine and can become smaller as it gets further away.

my exhuast consists of,

* Tomei dumps,

* Twin tuned length 3inch front pipes

* Into a 4inch merge,

* The 4inch carrys for 350mm than falls into a 4-3.5inch tapered cone which is disguised as a cat (cough cough)

* Than from the "CAT" it flows into a Ti Tomei Catback.

So in the end i have around 700mm of 4inch...........

This equals a bullshit high flowing exhaust system, which is not that loud. (considering)

pic of the front pipes i made, they tuned length within, 20mm

Equal length keeps the exhaust pulses arriving at regularly spaced intervals, it's ment be as if, there's a slight gap between the exhaust pulse, so the first pipe pushes its exhuast out, than he second pipe pushes its exhuast in behide the first and it just repeats.

that's the theory behide it. It's ment to improve response. They also make the exhaust sound awesome.

But to be completely honest, I seen countless Jap and some Aussie shops do tuned length front pipes, so I thought F it, I challenge myself to make a set up to there standards..... And that's what I did.

Took me around 6hours, cost me about 180bux so a awesome investment f you ask me.

Ah yes. Makes sense!

Look great!

Just got my car back from Windsor exhaust, new 3.5 inch catback stainless steel system done :)

Used to be 3 inch then 3.5 after resonator then 3 inch out the cannon :blink:

Is a bit quieter than before so rocking stock yay!

The rear diffuser, once refitted cleared everything fine, they do great work!!!

This mob also did Karcher's VH45 v8 180sx exhaust.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
