Trust PE2 is pretty rowdy when you smash the go pedal. But normal driving its really nice.

Lithium has one on his R33 with GT3076r. Its beautiful to drive/ride in normally, and then gives you the heebies when it opens up. Just roars.

We are currently working on some comparison clips. Will post up if we get some dry weather.

=/ i had a Trust PE2 before and thought it was way TOO loud...droned too much for my liking too.

Replaced with 3.5 x-force catback mid muffler and rear cannon.. better but still loud and droney.

Cut off rear muffler and replaced with a 3.5" varex - MUCH better. The varex mufflers are very large (as they need to have enough room to make 3 chambers for the gas to flow through in silent mode) so even at full open mode it's not too loud/droney and it sounds good too. Had to get the mid muffler repositioned too - thing was too low like previous posters mentioned and was scraping when attacking corners that were bumpy.

Now I don't have an R33, but I just fitted a 3.5 inch CES custom exhaust to my s15.

I thoroughly recommend it as it is not loud nor drony. I previously had their 3 inch system on my s15 which they claimed had legal db's and I can honestly say there 3.5 inch system is NO louder even with a 100 cpi cat. It has a large oval mid muffler and large oval twin tip muffler (with twin 2.5 inch dual skin perforated outlets) which are custom made at CES.

It cost me $1600 plus freight. Now that might be a little more than your willing to spend but...but what extra price do you put on a drone free and reasonably quiet exhaust?

I live in Perth and the exhaust was custom made at CES in QLD and yet despite this it's a beautifull fit even though the car was not there...tucks up nice and close to the body.

Also has twin tips as I wasn't keen on the cannon style to which Trevor at CES advised it would be slightly louder with the cannon.

Can snap some pics if you want to get an idea of the quality and fit.

sorry guys, let me clarify, i want the loud exhaust with no drone, i understand this is hard to accomplish without spending big bucks :rofl:

You can't.

If you want a loud exhaust, it's going to drone @ low RPM. That is how sound works.

You can't have it silent and then suddenly loud legally.

You'd need to buy a valve of some sort that only opens above 2500rpm or something.

End of the day its always subjective anyway.

What some people say is "fine", is ridiculously loud to someone else.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
