E-cutout stock front/dump vs. 3" dump/front E-cutout

1. what how much difference really? 5rwkw or so? and 500rpm fast spoiling?

then how about;

2. Stock Dump/Front E-cutout vs. 3" full system turbo back?<---- what will be better?

basically trying to anaylse which will be cost effective with minimum difference

thx

dump---> front pipe --->E-cutout--->cat---.>cat back--->muffler

ok its a dodgy picture but it represents an exhaust system,

Point 'x' has an electronic flap where it can open and close by a siwtch inside car.

So if it is closed the gases will past into the normal system, which includes, cat. catback, muffler. back to stock

If Flap is open the gases obviously just pass right under the car, bypassing cat/catback/muffler. :D

which would be hella loud, like a v8.

P.s. I took my muffler off a few months ago from the cat back, so I only had the front/dump on. It sounded shit, the backfires were heaps loud, and have you ever heard a holden 202 with no muffler? They sounds nearly the same. The neighbours wondered what was going on when I did it lol. Took her for a blat, but I live in a small town so coppers werent too much of an issue

we "bypassed" the exhaust (unbolted the cat) on my mates R30 L20et for a trip to ec. yeah, sounded fairly interesting, like how i would imagine a poorly tuned 253 V8 with a T-88 hanging off it would sound. the turbo whistle was insane

those valves used to be sold thru street machine in the late 80's. a guy who used to have on his mini used to have it open on thusday night 'MacNats' and would shut it only when a cop appeared. never saw him get busted

mupkant: would this be the same as a 'screamer pipe'? I am thinking of having a screamer pipe put on when i put on the 3" front/dump pipe....

im not sure...

this is just a replacement for an entire exhaust system.

from a flick of a switch you have

1. free flowing ON

2. back to stock exhaust OFF

- daily driving you can have it back to stock nice quietness

- for the tracks or drags switch it ON for performance wise.

good for being a sleeper :(

imagine a skyline flying past ya, with roaring sound, then you look at its rear and see the stock muffler with 2 small pipes, you'd be "wtf....."

theres that new back pressure valve, it works from around the final muffler and at normal driving you get low flow and when you put your foot down it opens right up to get max flow, just think of running a 3.5"-4" system with a nice quiet sound till you put the foot down!!

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
