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:

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
