The silencer should have two settings (you can rotate a plate inside).

On both settings, you will get a power restriction and you probably won't want to boost it too hard beyond standard boost levels (due to the exhaust restriction)...

I'm pretty much in the same boat with my x-force exhaust. It's well over legal limits without the silencer, but with the silencer, there's too much of a restriction. I'm thinking I may just see an exhaust specialist and see what they recommend (diffferent muffler, additional muffler, etc)

I'd definitely suggest this route is the right way to go rather than fitting a silencer, as a silencer just means exhaust restriction.

yes a silencer will cause restriction and a loss of power.

you could get a custom silencer made up with a bigger pipe through the centre to allow more flow but it won't make the exhaust as quiet. the other option would be to scrap the cannon and get an oval muffler. they generally provide much better sound attenuation.

yep, thats pretty much what im thinking about.

just the silencer is a cheap way to go.

anyway, things has the value

ive got one on my r33 (was on their when i purchsed it)

if you get the remote controlled one, youll find it buggers up after a while, the battery connection for the remote suck, comes loose and youll find it hard to adjust the valve inside.

i've left mine open, cant be bothered with the remote any more, they do go quite though when shut, for long drives to have no drone makes for a good drive after a while

good luck either way

    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
