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

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
