The power gains/losses from the cat back are just a restriction thing, No real tuning can be done with them.

Has more to do with the muffler design and position in the pipe than the size, as long as its not choking the exhaust than run the smallest system you can, because its lighter and the few kg,s you save will mean more than 0.5kws

you also have to remember that that article is about race headers where you generally won't have much of an exhaust after the headers, so some of those principles have to altered slightly. that is why it also makes no mention of power gains/losses from the exhaust system at all, but you will still get power gains and losses from catback systems

Actually, it does the exact same thing.

The headers are the BIGGEST gain you can make on an NA car.

After the first muffler/catalytic converter, the only difference you can get, is if you put a blockage in the exhaust. Go too big, exhaust gasses will cool though, slow, and cause a restriction.

As soon as you put a muffler/catalytic converter in, you lose the "pulsing" effect of the exhaust, once you lose the pulsing effect, you lose the ability to scavenge.

It is one thing to remember though, that the distance of the first muffler/cat converter from the end of the secondary join CAN affect performance. As you still have pulsing in this front section of pipe, you CAN tune the pulsing to scavenge the secondarys.

if you want to pop and flame decat or gutter your current cat run your car rich

whilst driving (car at operating temp) let off throttle then a second or two later tap the throttle and you will get bangs pops and flames

My exhaust on my N/A 33 it's got two hotdogs, stock rear muffler with a 3" tip

Will do a take off and drive by when i can i've never heard it outside the car so nfi how it sounds outside.

And excuse my bad shifting at times (i've hurt my knee while doing some downhill mountain biking)

what you may not realise is your car already has a rev limiter and it will make the bang bang bang sound on the limiter just like any normal skyline (or other car) does. just hold your foot on the accelerator and wait and it will hit the rev limiter and pop and bang away. not quite the same as a bee-r type igntion cut limiter but 80% of the 'fun' for none of the money.

it's a dumb idea but who cares? it's your car mate do whatever you want. having said that for the money of a bee-r limiter I can think of about 50 other things you could do to an NA R33 that are much more fun.

can someone build on this for me? the flames and the popping, i've noticed i can make the popping sound, but not that loud before. mostly when im driving constantly on a high speed, e.g 100+ and then let go of the accelerator and tap it. when i drove on 160ish and let go it made about 5 popping sounds together.

is there a way for me to get more pops or flame/sparks out of the car?

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
