I'm chasing a quieter exhaust for my 33GTR. The one on it currently drones it's ass off and is loud on open throttle. It's a 4' inch from cat back, not quite sure how big from the dumps though. The car is running 1.2bar and pushing 340kw atw. I am interested in what people are using or what they have done to there current exhausts to make it quieter. I really want quiet as possible without disturbing flow capacity of course, and a silencer isn't an option.

Happy to spend up to 1500 for one.

Cheers.

so do you not want it to be loud even when on full boost?

my exhaust includes:

standard dumps

blitz nur spec front pipes

decat

tanabe cat-back (just one end muffler)

car has -5's still running standard boost and is pretty quiet below 3grand, then when you put your foot down it really starts to scream, sounds awesome imo.

ok, that sounds simple enough. If I just tell the muffler shop exactly what you said, are they going to know what I want or are they going to ask me more questions that I wont have any idea in answering. I'm not real fussed on it being lighter then air or being a japa exhaust, I just want it quiet through the rev range. You sound like you ahve done this, what has it costed you??

Thanks for your help.

As lot more than $1500 that's for sure :geek:

But it comes down to mufflers and labour costs. If any exhaust shop doesnt know what you are talking about then go somewhere else.

As honestly if they cant workout the biggest two mufflers and some welding, they shouldnt be in business.

If you are including a 4"-4.5" CAT as well then it wont leave you much room to move in $1500 IMO. It'll perhaps go a bit over.

Depends on the muffler cost really, and 4"+ CAT's aint cheap either depsite what EBAY might tell you

Ok, I was talking to a muffler shop today and there rates were quite reasonable I thought. See what they have to say about this idea in terms of cost. But I wont stay with the 4" I will just go to 3.5" like you mentioned.

Cheers.

Just ensure the mufflers are straight through, if they have kinks it will impead flow.

But any decent exhaust place will know this if you stress it to them (never hurts to check for yourself of course) :geek:

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
