Its just the way that they make Jap systems, unfortunatly. A Load of GTR owners have been caught out this way- Pay big Dollars for a brand name Jap system that states 90mm diam. or whatever, only to have the system taper down within the mufflers and restrict power. Genrally this is only happening at power levels >250kw.

This is what I'm going to test on my car- I think the exhaust might be holding it back. Checking is easy enough- run your car up on the dyno. Then remove mufflers / cats and run it up again. If there is a big difference, then you know there is restriction. Its always a pay off between noise and flow- it takes a good exhaust fab. to make a good flowing not offensively loud exhaust.

OP did say non-removable in the previous page. I couldn't figure out how to get it out from the pics- but I'd be looking!

This is an example of what I mean. The Lovely Fujitsubo exhaust that all of us M35 owners love. Have a look at the pipe diam. 76.3 (3inch) to 60.3mm (about 2.3inch) . Wat! I guess the nismo is about the same. Am I really trying to push 200kw through 2.3inch exhaust...?

Pretty sure it would be 3". Remember that each tip is 94mm, so considerably larger than the exit point of the muffler

Note the external daimeter.... just sayin'

Did you look in the back end through to the twin tips?

I don't think thats 3 inch, not that I can get in there and measure it.

Bah! I forgot you had the Nismo one like I did. I was referring to the Legalis tips.

I thought that the Nismo muffler's exit hole was closer to 2.5" at first glance, but didn't measure it either.

Pretty sure that the Legalis' was larger (3") and I can't imagine they would have a smaller point to the tips than the inlet of the muffler...

My God that sounds shit

In your pic, is there a space around it? I can't really tell on this laptop with that pic

I'm not saying that it would restrict to 200 exactly. I am well aware that Cars running the legalis are well up and over that.

What I am saying is that any restriction will cause a loss in power, and their might be gains in looking into the exhaust for restrictions- durh, I know.

And I don't have the same exhaust as you. I have a Nismo- now I don't know if there are any signifigant differneces between the two rear mufflers in either system. It could be that the nismo runs a 2.5inch reducer in the rear can, while the legalis is bigger. Who knows?

Thats why I'm going to test it out.

The easiest way to check it to put a pressure gauge in line and check for backpressure; your cat might even have a blanking plug in it that you could use.

I have seen this style of silencer before, you should be able to slide a die grinder in there with a cut off wheel and just trim it out. It is manufactured into the muffler to help quieten it down.

You reckon i could cut it out - i don't think it would be easy. wouldn't there be insulation in the muffler round that smaller center pipe? if i recall it looks the same from both ends if i look down the muffler tip or on the incoming side

some more piks for a better look -

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
