Hey everyone

Finally got my rb20 in my s13 running perfect, i bought a cat back system off a mate the other day and its wayyy to loud, its got a 3inch turbo back and front pipe once peice, bashed out cat with a pipe inside it then a 3inch straight pipe! its so lound sounds awsome but its too loud

What should i do to silence it about 30% but not reduce the power, will a cannon at the end silence it? or a hotdog i know a muffler will but will i loose power?

thanks

If you want perfromance and sound to be lowered you need to spend a few hundred on each muffler for a quality one that will reduce sound and not restrict, I was in the same postion as you was gona get some mufflers then I changed my mind and got a new jap exhust kakimato regu06 which is nice and quiet and flows well.

just get a large muffler put on the rear. 3" straight through, as large as will fit at the back of the car, a skyline will comfortably fit a 16"x11"x6" muffler on the back and on a 3" system that muffler alone is almost enough to get it legal.

just get a big muffler for it.

i've got a 3.5in oval muffler on the end of my r32 GTR and thats it. it has a nice sound and is quieter than the regular 33 GTS with a full 3in and cannon.

but at high revs and full throttle it really does scream.

and doesnt restrict much, i am running over 300rwkw with it. the rest of the system is a 3in catback, and a trust front pipe.

mine cost about 200 installed, its a super cat brand i think?

You could try stepping the last section of the exhaust down to 2 1/2" and fit a straight through muffler at the back .

IMO it's more important to have the exhaust big at the front than the rear . The gas loses its heat very quickly and when it does it "contracts" and invariably slows down .

Your call .

We stuck a 3" straight through 18"x10"x8" on the stagea (more room back there) in addition to a mid-muffler of modest size. It is quieter than stock.

Bit of an update, got defected last week for tires handbrake and no washer fluid, i mean its got a 3inch front and dump pipe, no cat and 3inch straight pipe to the rear i started the car and the copper said nothing. So might just leave it for the time being

ive got a t3/t4 ebay turbo with a top-mount setup going on soon and i know its going to be 10x louder because of the bigger rear lol so ill have to get it done to be able to drive the car on the road.

Oh and btw its a rb20 in a s13 so im not sure about how much room i have in the back for a muffler as compared to a 32

cheers guys

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
