Well, umm not really a tuna can, but pretty close - thats my largish canon..

Just thinking of getting an oval XForce rear muffler on my R34GTT to replace the current 5" or something canon which is too loud for me. Have a full 3inch zorst all the way from turbo, 3" high flow cat, 3" oval resonator, then 3.5" pipe (I would rather have this as 3") then the canon.

I would like to have a nice quiet exhaust which is still a little bit louder than stock and gives that awesome sweet RB sound when booted. Definitely a lot less loud then my canon so I'm going for an oval muffler. And it must be FREE FLOWING.

Could anyone please give their opinions on the 3 options I have below, I like the look of the twin tip with the tapered pipes.

Which one would you go for? Please vote or whatever.. Does the twin tip mufflers restrict the 'free flow' a bit?? Please help..

thanx RON :)

imo the first one looks best, free flowing just means a straight through muffler, easily noticed by looking in the muffler.

i have an xforce canon, i dont know if the canons have the same sound as the ovels but i find the xforce is to deep and drony, not my thing

Problem you have is not just the rear muffler.

The resonator is not helping either, they are near on useless.

To have a nice quiet exhaust, you need TWO mufflers of decent size.

Free flowing is simple enough, just look inside it. If its straight, its free flowing.

just on the offtopic for 1 sec

r31nismoid, im running 1 hotdog in my system with the end canon, its a bit to deep of a exhaust note at the moment and i would like it a touch louder, what would taking the hotdog out do? the hotdog is about 4.5" to 5.5" ??? (its a 3.5" zorst r33)

Probably just increase the drone, tad louder, nothing massively, but noticeable.

Given your exhaust is probably already 94dB+

Go clean your ears out of drive around with the windows down. Its plenty loud enough and enoough to have a nice defect/EPA :)

R31 Nismoid, are you sure that I need to run TWO mufflers to remain quiet? Well the factory muffler is the quietest of the bunch and its only one muffler and one resonator isn't it?

So would the xforce oval mufflers listed above in first message make a nice difference (quieter) compared to a largish canon? I like the twin tip tapered muffler, not sure if it would reduce power mmuch... :)

cheers Ron

Is the factory 3" with a 3.5-4" cat? No :)

Larger diameter, freer the flow - the more the noise. Therefore you need mufflers.

So of course the factory pea shooter is going to be much quieter.

Obviously getting rid of the cannon will make a difference, however you might find it's not enough.

So im setting the expectation that you'll need more than just that as honerstly i think you will.

Everyone definition of "quiet" is different, so if you want something that is under say 90dB (which is a legal requirement), 9 outta 10 times you'll need dual muffler setup for 3" exhausts.

Thanks R31 Nismoid, would you suggest a 3" free flow lukey oval muffler to replace my resonator beside the diff and the external muffler can be an xforce twin tip with the tapered tips (pic 2).. I'm just worried that the splitting into 2 tips will kill power a bit?

If u know a cheap muffler shop in Sydney that would be really helpful...............

cheers.... :)

You might want to go to a twin 2.5". More muffler surface area per flow area means quieter with good flow.

A truly good muffler 3" muffler with resonance chamber should do the trick for you though. There is 3" straight through, and there is 3"inch appears to be straight through - different things!

NFI mate, my mufflers are custom made to suit (ie, big as possible).

twin tips wont pose a problem, plenty of systems out there with twin tips and perfect flow

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
