I was suggesting it was so loud because it was essentially a straight through pipe; ie has no mufflers.. What are we disagreeing on again?

haha, seems Aaron has confused you by confusing himself :P

Ryan. can you get a dB reading on that exhaust? Idle and 3000rpm perhaps?

Do like the Ti tips

Andrew builds his mufflers slightly differently. Instead of the traditional route, he uses sound deadening material around the outside. It does work, but he just needed to use more of it. Lessens restriction and gives a better sound.

oh i thought you meant the fact that its a small hot dog, which is why i said i dont think the size matters with hotdogs.. lol

mmmmm hotdog...

Isn't that how most aftermarket mufflers work? You need a large muffler body, the bigger the chamber, the more low end noise it takes out. Hot dog or resonators are practically useless.

Doesn't explain the Blitz NUR exhaust

Not sure about other aftermarket mufflers, but I know most standard ones use baffles and other restrictions to lessen noise. Running a straight through pipe with sound deadening material around it should be the go if you use enough sound deadening.

I will get the noise down, once the bigger muffler is in we'll work out if we need to add another. Andrew prides himself on his work, and after having the car on the hoist today you can really see it.

Sounds like a few people are interested, so I'll get some group buy info.

I am still genuinely interested in the argument of bellmouth vs split dump? I have no idea, so I'm curious on the pros/cons of each?

  • 2 weeks later...

I finally remembered to ring Andrew today, and he'll send me group buy details tonight.

In answer to another question I had, the cat installed in mine is a 200cpi metal cat.

Should get my new muffler in the next 2 weeks (assuming I get time to go round and get it fitted), but I have no doubt it'll be all sorted before group buy orders start happening.

Watch this space :thumbsup:

Ok guys, finally have the pricing for the AM Performance exhausts.

Dump/front pipe without cat - 480.00

Middle pipe with 200cpsi ceramic cat - 450.00

Middle pipe without cat - 250.00

Catback with muffler in the middle and single cannon style - 800

Catback same as above but twin mufflers 930.00

Titanium tips as per photos add 150.00

All is stainless steel (except titanium tips obviously).

Installation is $280 if you're in Adelaide, and prices are excluding shipping.

I have some group buy pricing if there is a number of people keen, we would need 4 people to go ahead.

If there is enough interest I'm willing to run a group buy, so let me know.

So complete system with Ti tips is just over $2k plus shipping?

I think maybe some db levels and a youtube clip for the sound might help.

Only reason I say that is because you can probably get a Kakimoto R or Blitz NUR and one of Scott's dump/front pipe combo's for that price, although AM's is probably a little easier for SA residents.

Still, very interested in the design and how AM are implementing the sound deadening. :D

Do love a well designed exhaust!

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
