yeah i thought of steel wool but what worries me is it might spit the tip as i wouldnt put it before muffler as if it moves it will get stuck in muffler cause i want to remove it after test

I was advised to use metal flyscreen gauze.

Unbolt some exhaust maybe behind the cat, bundle it up inside and bolt it in place and use a little exhaust putty goo stuff to hide it.

Don't flog it hard and remove it when your done.

Haven't tried it but it's so crazy, it might just work.

ill just use the baffle plate i used a quick db tester on my iphone about a 1 meter away and revved it to 4500rpm and it reached 102db but i dont know how accurate the db tester would be but it gives me a rough idea

I have a silencer piece for a 3" pipe that should fit if you're keen, it makes your car quite as can be.

It just slides in and can bolt on of required I've given it some tests and doesn't come loose easily of your car has an offbeat to its idle it will really pick up on that though.

FYI, I had to put a baffled flange in before AND after my cat as well as a silencer in my cannon muffler to get over the pits.

That was on my Legnum with 2.5"/2.75" front pipes into a 3" catback, no resonators etc. Granted the 6A13TT was louder then my old RB25DET NEO but it still took quite a bitb to shut it up.

Hmmm with the NEO it made it so quite that when giving it some you didn't hear the exhaust almost at all and all you could hear was the engine.

I don't know if it's just my car because of its setup still being 90% stock but it's super quite you barely hear it idle.

Hopefully a baffle plate should work on mine if not I'll put a silencer in the tip as mine is a dumpy not a cannon

My R34 just had an X-Force 3" stainless system but was pretty angry IMO.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
