Lol, not much of a race the person doing mine takes off on holidays tomorrow hahaha

Mines got 2 mufflers aswel, other is in the box.

Still, I got the motor in the car so that has to be a headstart haha

is it actually possible for a 4" straight through muffler to really do any muffling at all? Even if the oval was 1 meter wide on its own it would still do bugger all surely?

People with more knowledge than I have in this area have sorted it out for me so it's quiet and flows like a drainpipe

I don't mind a bit of noise, just want all the flow possible. Time will tell

Having the motor on the stand is a minor detail :whistling:

Lol!

"it never ends"

Btw you know my carbon Kevlar seat, do you want it? I want a different one and want to sell this before buying another so I'm not stuck with two. You know what it's like at mine with parts and space

Not true at all, at top end when you are making that kind of power a whole lot of exhaust is bypassing the exhaust via the wastegate...

3" on 26 with T04z regularly make between 430-470rwkw

Depends if you are external or internal – either way, bigger does no harm at all.

Garrett engineers on their website clearly state that the less restriction after the turbo the better. Sure this needs to be weighed up with physical limitations and noise levels etc. But a greater flowing exhaust can only improve response and top end power. Obviously, whether its even noticeable depends on your power levels but at 400rwkw I think it would be very noticeable.

Just because some cars manage to get 400rwkw through a 3" exhaust doesnt mean they couldnt be a heap better with a larger exhaust.

Min 3.5" IMO

Couldn’t agree more.

I’ve seen cars make 350rwkw with a 3” as well. Swap it over to a 3.5” and boom, another 15-20rwkw and better midrange. Some are users here (some have also posted, which is good)

Just because it makes the power, you can get a 3” to 400rwkw no problems, doesn’t mean that putting something bigger will not provide benefit.

is it actually possible for a 4" straight through muffler to really do any muffling at all? Even if the oval was 1 meter wide on its own it would still do bugger all surely?

Well with 2x 3.5” straight through mufflers (they are massive), I’m around what, 90dB, so it must be possible :whistling:

Mufflers weren’t cheap, but they certainly have some effect.

would there be any power gains for a 170rwkw by changing from 3" to 3.5" cat back but keep the 3" dump/front/cat?

no mufflers btw

Not really no, 3” with little bends and straight through mufflers is plenty for up to 250-300rwkw.

All you get is noise @ that level.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
