I don't understand what's going on here

the man just wants his exhaust tips enlongated and then there's people saying get a full new exhaust?

As long as no mufflers are touched, making exhaust tips longer will make minute difference, if any to the sound of the exhaust.

Am i correct to assume stock exhaust = quiet? if so, will make no difference to sound. Only as long as the mufflers are left as is and just the last pipes are extended.

You've never seen a sexy Hyundai or Honda with a cannon have you? Of course the tip makes a difference to sound, it sounds terrible! The tip of the exhaust on a stock exhaust is a type of muffler, if you change that muffler without changing the exhaust it sounds like absolute shite! Victor said he wants to change the tips, hence going to sound terrible. You can't get aftermarket tips for cheap that are going to sound good, high quality mufflers are expensive. If you're going to spend that money getting a tip welded on and your exhaust extended, you might as well go whole hog and get an amazing quality exhaust that sounds like Pamela Anderson on full scream.

only wants the extend it, what, an inch, no difference, if you don't want a full exhaust(Kermit is the man on that one), just buy the tip you want, go to a small exhaust shop, and ask them to put it on, if it takes them more then 10 mins, there's something wrong. shouldn't cost much to do. Either that or make friends with a welder :D

A++++++++++++++ for Kermit, what a fkn champ :D such sexy welds and nice sound to boot

Ok.

Sorry guys. I am abit confused now, with some saying crap sound and some no difference. I probably call Kermit on this before deciding on it.

Yes, I just want to extend an inch and maybe, change the tips to abit bigger stainless steel type. I can asure if Kermit also agree that it will sound crap, I won't do it. I rather save up and get a full system.

I am not after any sound or power improvement as I only drive it on weekends for relaxing cruise. Plus, if I get asked by an offier what exhaust system I have, I don't want to say it's aftermarket at this stage.

Thanks, guys for all the replies. I learn new things everytime on SAU. :)

Neither :)

Ok.

I just thought of asking because I've seen it twice already.

that may be me, are you sure it wasnt white?

I am sure it's silver. A gentleman with beard driving it.

He never said he wanted a CANON on it just an extension to clear his rear bar which any exhaust shop or kermit could do in 5 minutes thats why i say get off ya arse and do it as it won't make any difference to the sound

put up pics of how it is atm!

if it sits in i say extend it as cheap as you can to suit your body kit. just get it cut from behind ur muffler/before ur cat and extended with its current width pipe -ie 2.5" etc

i saw a *sigh* 2 door rice car yesterday i cant remember what it was but it was like a mighty boy equivelant in a car, it was fully kitted up and the rear bar was made for twin exhaust but he only had a single! looked so stupid!

Fair enough, my mistake. I thought when you said you wanted to put a stainless or chrome tip on it you meant more than just extending the stock exhaust. Yeh if all you want to do is extend the pipe a little bit so the exhaust sits further out then it won't make a difference to sound.

That's all right, Martin. My mistake as well, I should have made it clearer.

I was busy last night with friends. Hopefully, I will post the photo up tonight.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
