Ok folks, I have an r33 gts-t.

Current exhaust mods are:

- Bellmouth 3inch dump/front pipe

- Xforce 3 inch cat (apparently, came with car)

- 3 inch stainless mandral bent system which also came with car. (it is jasma approved, so its quiet, one huge muffler at the rear that goes 3inch in then splits into two pipes inside and then back out with a single 3inch again, middle muffler is same brand but smaller about the size of a shoe box)

the mufflers appear so say K&H on them, never heard of them?

The car flows great, good performance, cant complain but its too quiet!

It literally makes almost no noise. It is completely drained out by the induction noise.

RB25s have a good note and I would like to get some of that without being too loud and offensive obviously.

Recommendations for a good sensible note? remove rear muffler for a cannon? different rear muffler, no rear muffler etc?

thanks

i would but its all welded, beautiful system. It was a novelty to have it that quiet but truly it makes no noise, no different to stock system. I was thinking have the rear muffler changed to the flange (half way between middle and rear muffler) so I can change back if needed?

Not looking for police attention just a nice, crisp but still reasonably quiet exhaust note

i have a jasma fujutsubu canon and just a hotdog in my 3.5inch system, and its as loud as it can get before going over the allowed db, im getting a 3 inch bellmouth and highflow cat (i have stock dump/front and cat) so it will louden it up a bit! cos im after a bit more noise to, so to answer your question, since u have a similar system to mine, i think taking out the center muffler and get a hotdog (if you dont already have one) should make it sound nice.

Just get the centre muffler cut out and a straight piece welded in.

Ok sounds good. Would be cheapish too. What about this rear muffler, would it be restrictive? the 3inch in 3inch out but with the twin pipes running through it? its a huge muffler. ill try get a pic. doing the centre would be cheaper than the rear (less bends) Also I could keep my current tip which I dont mind

check out my for sale thread (in sig) for my old exhaust. unique and mildly sounding. :D enough of the sales pitch.

i got a custom 3 inch made up with a straight through muffler and thats it. same sort of sound from my old one just deeper and louder. when it opens up ~4500+ it really starts to roar. i frukin love it... my petrol seems to be draining somewhere.... ;)

run a decat, will be slightly louder and slightly faster, best of both worlds!

pros.

more power

more response

louder

their cheap, sell ur current high flow cat and ur infront!

ur system sounds like a quality system, this way u dont have to modify it and f**k with anything

cons.

the environment (f**k the environment)

has anyone got a 3 inch system with a high flow cat and only one big muffler, what did you think if so?

3 inch dump pipe high flow cat and lukey turbo muffler 3in 3 out. no police attention but loud enough and seems to flow enough

CONS! the $$$$$$$$$$ Worth of Ass Raping you will receive if you get caught.

yeah wont be getting a de-cat.

I wonder if just removing the centre muffler and replacing with a straight pipe would sound good? The rear muffler looks quite big and has a twin chamber type design. K&H brand. Might be a good way to go, wont cost much either i figure. thoughts?

IMO then you are very silly to change it.

If it's quiet now, then its probably only just legal.

Changing it wil mean you are then over the dB limit almost certainly - I'm yet to see a single muffler system pass.

So you'll end up having to change back for EPA defect reasons anyway.

Stealth & silent is the new black in Vic, it's sadly the only way you can enjoy a Import with relatively low hassle.

Having it loud just simply is not worth the heartache, anyone who's battled the EPA for years (like myself), would most likely agree.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
