Hey, gentlemans

I've got a screamer on my RB25 GT3076 50mm external gate setup.

I love having a relatively quiet car, that gets super loud only when i want it, as I used to have straight pipes (no cats/muffs etc) on the car, and while it sounded awesome, it was too loud for everyday driving.

Has anybody tried putting a muffler or resonator on the screamer pipe? I don't even know if there is room. Just wondering what sort of results or success you had? The other option would be slightly longer piping to get it to the rear of the car, or at least half way there.

get a 2 inch motor bike muffler, like the ones the postmen use.

maybe you can get a reducer pipe to 50 mm?

it could work i guess.

but pointless if you want a screamer pipe. just control it with your right foot?

TiTAN, thanks for the link to that thread. I tried searching but somehow didn't find that thread.

I'll talk to my exhaust guy in a few weeks when i've got money, i just wanted to get other peoples opinions on what it would sound like? I'm guessing a resonator would make the sound a bit deeper without really quieting it down, where as a muffler would make it quieter?

Put a cat on there as well as the muffler and you have a legal screamer.

im not sure what the legalities would be though as a cat doesnt work unless its hot and a screamer doesnt have hot exhaust running through it all the time.

Im in the same boat, I dont want to plumb mine back as I only have a 3 inch system. A screamer would be too loud for an everyday driver imo, I would prefer to run a muffler on the screamer like these setups. I might make one and see how quiet I can get it. Great idea. :thumbsup:

U don't need a 2" screamer for a 2.5L motor unless u have a massively flowed engine trying to run like 5psi of boost. Make up a 1.75" screamer and get a 1.75" hotdog muffler from an exhaust distributor. Run it alongside the exhaust system and end it about half way along the gearbox.

How far down your system that you plumb back your screamer will effect the sound level.

The closer you plumb back to the rear of the system, the louder it should get as your bypassing the exhaust systems mufflers.

i have a muffler on myne. found a random old hills muffler (was for an old morris i think, 1.5" or something pathetic like that) at my dads tyre store, added a few bits of random pipe i cut out of a wreck and welded them together, it ends just after where the cat normally is in the main system. its loud enough to be noticeable on boost but quiet enough to not give me the shits (i hate screamers). all in all it works very well for something that was free

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
