Looking at a Tomei Extreme Ti cat back exhaust system but want to confirm what the ID of the rear muffler is. Has anybody actually seen one or own one...measured one?

I understand the tube diameter is 89.1mm OD, just want to make sure the muffler does not drop in diameter to 3" etc

Yeh, but if I am spending that much money on an exhaust I dont want it to cost me a single bloody kw. I only make 250 odd :( I have some prices for some thing guage stainless mufflers and pieces and if I cant get a solid answer on this exhaust will be going twin 2.5" with a 4" dump with wastegate plumb back in. I currently lose around 6-7% of my power when I plumb the gate back in so need to improve over the HKS Hyper i currently run

the solution to your power woes??

open up that screamer :thumbsup:

fab up a removable piece so you can remove it and reinstall at anytime which shouldn't take long to do.

I don't know how anyone can drive on the road with a screamer, I only lasted a few days of not being able to boost at all for fear of instant defect, car crushing, death by firing squad on the side of the road. But then I do live in Victoria...

Tracks have DB limits too, on some cars they dump the exhaust out different sides depending which side of the track the pits (read microphone) sits. An open screamer would have no chance.

must be a Victorian thing.

Wakefield and Eastern Creek in Sydney, don't have noise restrictions.

wakefield does have noise restrictions, there is a mic in the middle of the grass patch near the main straight.

but they allow open screamers, your car must be insanely loud for them to pick it up and kick you off the track.

ok i just checked the wakefield regs, it says max limit is 95dB at 30m,

they must be very lienant with this as ive seen alot of GTRS/V8/cars with open screamers go there without an issue.

Noise can vary in DB with something a simple as a wall.

Most tracks have restrictions. And then also some have "X" amount of "unrestricted" days.

Just a matter of if you get pinned or not, and that depends then on the position of the pickup

Bris, Buy a 3.5" Borla/Magnaflow etc Stainless muffler from Summit/Jegs take to a decent exhaust shop and have a system made made, wont be titanium, but wont be any doubts about the muffler quality either

+1.

In fact just got a new full 4" system using Magnaflow's Troy. 6" body Cat as well. Worth thinking about - at least you know exactly what you're getting.

I'm a jdm fan to my detriment with some of the parts I buy... Incliding exhaust's for the most part.

But for the money, I'd carefully consider custom Ti pipe work (Appropriate grade Ti mandrel bends can be purchased in the US) with slip jointed 'Burns Stainless' center resonator/s and a brand name rear can.

The thin wall stainless pipe work 'Burns Stainless' stock are only a poofteenth heavier than the same size Ti

Don't go posting this stuff up on SAU. The real good gear you need to keep quiet and to yourself :) I did an exhaust with a friend years ago when I lived in Sydney and had after hours work to my old employers factory, tools etc. Their gear is top notch and I was planning on using two of their real mufflers in a twin system.

What I need to find is a centre muffler that has a 4" inlet and twin 2.5" outlet

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
