Hi guys

Just put my 90mm ti exhaust on and running an 80mm ss milltek non-res midpipe with oem cats

The exhaust didnt really add much to the sound i was getting from the midpipe only - if anything its only increased the volume slightly which was somewhat expected given it's an identical layout to the oem setup

So now im thinking of jumping in the deep end with catless dp's and perhaps playing it safe with a resonator'd 90mm ti midpipe to take the edge off

For those running catless dp's, and im pretty sure there's a good handful of you now, how loud is it now that you've lived with the car

Is there any boom or resonance coming in through the transmission tunnel or nvh at certain rpms? Can you tell you're running catless when idle'ing or in auto mode shifting below 2k?

And lastly, are you getting a build up of carbon on the rear bumper?

I found this vid on the tube and like the sound, but it's hard to tell how loud it is inside the cabin

If you want the big angry sound, more flow and performance you do NOT have to go without cats.

Most R35's are fitting 3" catless dumps.

Mercury Motorsport made me a set of 3.5" catted dumps with very big high flow cat bricks.

When you look through the cat, you are looking clean through the brick to the other side.

The Dyno has proven they flow the same and maybe slightly more than the 3" catless dumps.

Not to mention it is nice to have your cake (power & sound) and able to eat it too (CLEAN EXHAUST & LEGAL).

The 3.5" catted dumps with my full Willal Racing Titanium exhaust system sound awesome.

The in cabin noise does get very noticable, however by wrapping the entire system with Titanium tape the NVH cabin noise noticeably dropped off. I use the car as my daily driver and find the in cabin noise OK.

I also recommend a competition air intake system (Like AAM System), big jump in power and a really cool growly induction noise with an audible turbo shrill.

thanks for the feedback mate, ill look into hfc downpipes

my midpipe is 3" at the downpipe so would go with aam's hfc downpipes

i have the full Top Secret intake and turbo inlet pipes - installing them over the weekend

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
