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:

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
