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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
