Just want to know has anyone reached 300kw with a silencer in the muffler,

I'll be getting my car tuned next week , would like to see 280-300kw,

Has a GTX3076 0.82 , external 44mm tial, tomei 256cams, 3 1/2inch exhaust but the muffler has the 2 1/2inch silencer. I've tried a 4inch Nur spec muffler on the rear but its crazy loud, and i could try another muffler in the front and that might help but i like the sound of the fujitsubo muffler as well cause its quiet at slow speeds.

So interested in opinions, will this muffler really hold the setup back enough to not use it ? If i cut the restrictor out how much louder will it be?

piggaz managed to push his past 300kw with the 2.5" restrictor in it, but the turbo setup was capable of significantly more power and made significantly more power when that exhaust was removed.

change the muffler for a larger one or add a larger middle muffler and chop out the 2.5" restrictor plate.

how much power is significant?

The 4inch nur spec just sounds loud and drony, would i use a resonator or a muffler to bring out the RB sound? Just tossing up wether its worth losing some power to maintain a nice sound.

Paul was also on E85, which changes the rules a little bit.

I've pushed a 3" exhaust to 370rwkw no problems when not using PULP.

2.5" will hurt the power, i certainly wouldn't push the car with such a small restrictor in there.

As you are external gate as well (assuming), that will also make it a bit easier. Still though... get it removed.

400, well 402 but for an extra 5 psi (30 psi) it only made it 414. Now in a step back in turbo size with a twin 3 inch exhaust it was sitting at 426 with 8 psi less. Only changes were exhaust, dumps and smaller turbos. Oh and even back to factory airbox!!

Air has to get in AND out!

Would have loved to have seen a back to back with just the exhaust change.

How much of a restriction will a 2.5 inch hole will be on this car is anyone's guess. Maybe drop the 'diff back' once it's all done and do another run. That will give you the answer and only take a few minutes.

me to, especially with the RSs to see if it also help them come on sooner

I think ill just see what the tuner recommends, hard to see where a muffler could be welded in at the front, not much room with a lowered car, but at the back i can see a huge muffler could be put in there, so hopefully theres some decent 3.5inch ID mufflers that flow well and also cut down the drone and noise.

How do people bring out the meaty RB note? is it to do with the resonator or the muffler or even the tune???

There is HEAPS of room up near the gearbox for a VERY decent muffler.

I had a 5" body on mine near the gearbox. (In fact, it's still there...)

so tell me , how did it sound then? what brand of muffler, redback has been mentioned by an exhaust shop,

from what i can see under there the dump and cat take up alot of room, i dont wanna chop it all up and make a mess and have to waste money if its not neccessary.

was that an oval muffler? what power did yours make too?

if im going down this track of having a bit of a noisy exhaust then id atleast like to hear the meaty angry RB note, quality still not just loud noise.

went round a few exhaust shops today, was told theres not enough room for a muffler anywhere but the rear, and the ones they showed me looked cheap and nasty like they imported them from china, brands like redback, gennie where mentioned and prices of $350 spoken about so i just got the fujitsubo welded back on for now,

going to see what it can do on the dyno, maybe have the catback removed to see the difference before doing anything more, so ill be a ginnea pig for this experiment. :whistling:

having thoughts about cutting it out too, wonder if a 3inch pipe could be welded back in to mimick the silencer effect?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
