Well you rock up to a test, they see a 3.5"/4" outlet - you think they aint gonna suspect something is up? :devil:

I had the guy get under my car when my 3.5" exhaust pulled as low as it did, just to check for that type of thing.

I had one on my old R33, the difference was amazing. From a headache inducing drone to quieter than my friend's Excel. The benefit is not that it will pass an EPA, its that whenever you see cops, get pulled over, or simply don't want to annoy the neighbours you can mute it instantly from a button on your keyring. It prevents you getting EPAs in the first place, rather than assist you in passing them.

I was so impressed with it I bought another for the Supra, but never wired it up as my current exhaust set up isn't that loud in the low revs.

I've got one and the only reason i got it was i cbf with headaches sometimes from my exhaust /drone as said above by Kez but also i have very good neighbours who all respect each other and id like to be quiet when i come home numerous times in the early morning with my car.. :banana:

EPA's are less of a headache as u get pulled over and they check to see if ur cars loud and they notice its dead quiet. just gives you less headache.

This video here is my old car, and a video I filmed and uploaded personally. Who knew it would hit 170,000 views. I doubt the valve would cause much of a restriction unless you were already pushing the limits with your exhaust diameter.

As for the noise, I reckon the sound fine. I've had a ton of complements on my Supra's exhaust note and it has a Varex. IMO its everything before the muffler that gives an exhaust a nice note or not, depending on your turbo/extractors, mid mufflers, cat, resonator, pipe size, material etc. You can also get different muffler shapes and tips too, next time I think I'll just get the twin tip for an even more stealth appearance.

I know I sound like a bloody Varex salesmen, but to be honest they really are that good. Well worth the money and the main reason it was the first mod I bought for my Supra.

They're great at what they do, you don't buy it to have the best sounding exhaust, you buy it to have the best of both worlds. Personally, I love the note, it's deep down low and up top is a real screamer. I think it's important that the rest of the exhaust is done properly or it will sound tinny and crap, but that's like any exhaust. Run 3 inch mandrel mild steel from the turbo back and you'll be sweet...come listen if you like.

If all the varex mufflers are like that its not worth it since its got a restrictor welded in there thats why the hole is so small. I just removed one out of my cannon. So even when its fully open you still got a restrictor there.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
