I envy the quietness of your car! After a while off loudness you will be wishing you left it as is and IMO the induction noise is way cooler then a loud exhaust note.

If your exhaust flows well and your making the power your happy with and its nice and quiet. Thats something I would wish for before world peace!

I'm a fan for quietness but my exhaust was too restrictive so took out the middle muffler (don't have or need a cat in NZ) and now it goes well and is still not too loud.

Get a hacksaw (or better still a pipe cutter) and cut out your middle muffler and fit a bit of pipe temporarily. If you like the result get it welded in if not you can weld the middle muffler back in.

A loud exhaust is a good way to annoy the neighbours and attract the attention of the police.

Everyone has a different definition of "loud", that much is certain... and often the law has another view all together...

So do what you want TUF250, but just remember its highly likely any mods will almost ensure EPA's will come your way.

Are 3inch pipes any good for the car? Like say from the catback straight pipe no muffler or anything? could it mess my tune up if i change it? as i have a greddy one?

u mean flutes? be noisy as fark dont think its gona do anything to your performance positive or negative.

I dont want it to be silly, I had a V8 previously with just resinators and it sounded great but it really was stupid and eventually got annoying.

Unless my rb is over 4-5k rpm there really is no noise at all. My dads stock xr6 turbo makes more noise! I was just after a burble. Not into cannons, big resinators only or anything like that. Just wanted a bit of burble not bark.

Thats why I thought id leave the rear muffler (the biggest) and remove the centre but I dont want to make it too loud and get myself into trouble.

its a tricky one...

It literally makes almost no noise. It is completely drained drowned out by the induction noise.
If the induction noise is too loud, why not do something about quietening it, like enclosing it in an air box.
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

I have a 4 inch from my T88 turbo back. I had the exhaust custom made with a 4 inch dump coming out pointing at the ground (rotaflo muffler)

It's loud as f**k, on a piston engine it would probably be a little quieter.

i've just got a 3" system from turbo back. with a single remus muffler. the sound is sweet. quiet when you're not on the gas and the system is nice and straight so a good note

coming down through the gears. but it has exceptional flow at WOT.

I would say to be cautious with mucking around with the exhaust chasing a given sound. Odds are you will end up with 'not quite what youre after' and louder than u want.

Quiet is better id say, and im in WA where you can do whatever the f*k you want :down:

My old R33 was loud as. Good for 10% of the time, annoying for the rest.

The current R33 makes twice the power but is quiet as. I love it. Then again i have a pod so it is dead quiet when chilling and an angry tornado under gas. Best of both worlds.

Maybe look at that mod to make turbo induction noise. I think it is a way sweeter noise than exhaust (as good as an RB can sound at the tailpipe) noted by another post above.

I turn way more heads with all induction noise on this one than all exhaust noise on the last one....

And yeah, Vic sounds very cop-strict so a loud exhaust is going to give you nightmares me-thinks.

Goodluck mate

thanks guys, ended up pulling that middle muffler out, quite happy now, only a touch louder and has a slightly deeper note, still very quiet highly doubt it will attract any more attention.

note. I am selling that straight through 3inch stainless muffler if anyone is interested in a high flow 'quiet' muffler

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
