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,

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
