Hi everyone,

Am looking at getting a little more noise (being that it's all stealth like and silent at the moment, to the point I can't even hear it running sometimes)

I have been told that the cheapest option with max sound would be a cannon however I dunno if I like that idea :S

1) are they even legal? Because pretty much every cop I've come across hates cannons

2)Will it even sound any good on a N/A

3) Will it look like an experiement from the Western Suburbs

4) I don't want any loss of power

Second option

Replace it with a high flow rear muffler; Not sure about costs of this yet as I haven't rang around/looked on ebay,

Any budget conscious suggestions would be really appreciated, and please no one suggest puncturing it with a screw driver

Is the pipe diameter called 2.25 or 2.5??? Brenton will be installing it for me. Car is a 99 34 GTV

EDIT: Basic idea of what I'm trying to achieve is *Little more noise; enough to make it sound like a Skyline *No loss of power; I can live with the silence if I'm going to loose to much power * Not wanting it to look like an experiment; would like clean and sleek.

Being an NA. I would look towards a 2.5" Catback system with a Sports muffler (but not a cannon). Its all well and good to go a cannon. Noise with a cannon is awesome when your on the power, but not that much fun when your trying to just drive around unnoticed.

You'd probably go a decent 2.25" / 2.5" on a N/A and go with an Oval shape muffler.

Fujitsubo make very good quite mufflers or any Oval shape muffler.

Or get a custom made one and get a sound test done.

Nothing over 90 db and you'll be fine.

Or goto a 2nd hand parts dealer (Import Monster) and get a decent full exhaust.

Don't get anything too loud, cuz you'd be "All Show, No Go".

thanx, my partner is going to make it up but he said he was just going to join the new rear muffler where the stock 1 is then run a pipe and some twin tips he has exhaust pipe the same diamater from his stock fto system and was going to weld the new muffler on after the last flange when it straightens out. will get an oval with no bends inside it so it dosent stick out. only want it a bit louder so this will be good.

btw im on a budget or i would do a better job lol, brenton is going to loosen the flangebolts so i can get a temporary preview of what it will sound like lol, any thoughts on how to make this cheaper/easier/better sounding(considering the last 2 factors)? thanx!

what is the actual diamater of the stock piping?

Brenton: gtv r34 with no rear muffler sounds pretty damn awesome and beefy, bit raspy too but in a good way. chantalle is thinkin of gettin a workshop in melb to do it depending on the prices, she dosent car if the bends are press bent so hopefully it wont come to heaps, think she wants it done for 150 or so, tops. any places that are cheap, to recommend?

My mechanic can do it but he's in Templestowe, a bit far for you I guess...

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
