Hey Guys,

I'm looking for preferrably a stock cat-back exhaust to swap with my aftermarket one or alternatively borrow/loan somebodies so that I can go do this test.

Also if anyone has any info on a good place to buy a stock cat-back or a way to make my exhaust quieter please let me know.

Thanks

in melb western suburbs, the car is a c34 s2 stagea

hmm...have you looked in the parts section here...that's where I got mine from

I got busted last year (stupid me unknowlingly drove into the city when the EPA blitz was on) and got a letter in the mail...I got a 3 inch turbo back system.

I got the rear muffler from one of the guys on here and got it tested...with my full system = 94db. the exhaust place (in St. Albans that does the EPA test) cut my aftermarket off, flanged both the aftermarket rear and stockie rear mufflers and put it on...next test (3 inch system turbo back to I think 2 or 2 and half stockie rear muffler) = 79db. The stock rear muffler is a big beast (and bit heavy) that cuts alot of noise down.

I've still got it on the car ATM (CBF'd to take it off at the moment)..I should take it off

Best bet find a stockie on the parts forum (hopefully local) and when they test the system and eventually put the stockie rears on...they should flange it so you can put the old one back on

Could be worse...I remember a guy there when I got my car checked out he had a EG Civc and on first test, registered 107db...found that the car had a de-cat installed (to which the owner saying he didn't know that it was installed...he brought the car like that...lol)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
