None of the jap systems will be over track noise limits. You'll be fine.

Racespace or Rob Sabbadin will be able to do a custom system for similar price i would image. Call em.

Imo there is little difference between the two u have mentioned. HKS has a nice note on GTST.

Thanks for the advice all - now I have like 3-4 different avenues to pursue - oh well, its all fun :cheers:

Have you looked inside to confirm?

They often have internal baffles, most of the Jap ones I've seen come through have them. Both my jap ones over the years have.

"3.5" exhaust, but with internal baffles around the 3"-2.75"

Well, I went and got myself a brand new Apexi N1 Pro for an unreal cheap sum of $690 from Ark Design.

Its dimensions are following - 3" flange then its 3.5" piping into the centre muffler - from there it goes to 3.75" all the way into the back muffler which is 3.5"........ Is it gonna be loud - probably. Will I need Apexi ATS - probably, but lets see how loud its first

I also got some Blitz front pipes 2x70mm into an 80mm, and a 3" ceramic cat.

It's not going to be too loud. Just right. Do you drive it everyday? If so, yes it will be a little loud on the road, but perfect on the track.

lol at this thread, GTR owners are a different breed. It's a stock engine that sees track days...it is not going to see over 300rwkw.

I don't drive it everyday - but few times a week - hoping it will sound nice down at PI main straight :rolleyes:

This thing will probably never see 300rwkw.

Did look into custom 3.5" - price was $3,500:

So here is the questionaire, what would I make more power with:

A: 3.5" custom exhaust and stock turbos - total mods cost = $3,500.

B: this exhaust setup and a pair of -7's - total mods cost = $3,500.

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this. I know, with option B I'd need new fuel pump and some injectors but value for money custom exhaust just was not making any sense.

Saw your results in the dyno thread, so how does the exhaust sound? am thinking of getting one for my gtst.

Its reasonably noisy - not too bad, there is a bit of booming in the cabin but I don't think its too bad. Ground clearance in the middle of the car is really good but looks like its slightly less where the middle muffler is located. Fit and finish seemed 1st class - definitely a value-for-money...and it doesn't seem like it hurt the power output too much either :cheers:

does your muffler have a restrictor inside? is it a hotdog resonator? cause i just fitted a nur spec muffler and its terribly noisy and dronning from idle til about 2500rpm.

No restrictor inside the back muffler - just a 3.5" pipe.

Centre muffler is not hotdog style - its a fullsized muffler as can be seen on the picture,

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
