its lowered alot yeah, what brand middle muffler, i dont wanna buy some crap muffler, alot of people have different idea of whats loud and whats not, but ive seen and heard alot of skylines around and they have some nice RB sound to them without being too bad, i could barely drive it to the exhaust shops, still got a headache

Might need to raise the car i think, discovered my dump is practically touching the underbody, :( another job..

So i got a rear muffler 3inch Xforce put on and its quite acceptable noise wise now :)

but the exhaust guy thinks theres a restrictor inside the hotdog resonator too, he showed me a resonator that he had and it was basically blocked on the inside with some insertion and spiraled wire around it,

he says this because he expected the car to sound alot more throaty, its suprisingly quiet,

so is this a common thing for hotdog resonators to have silencers in them on a Jap exhaust??????????

i would of never suspected this at all, looks like another thing to replace...

Does it matter what resonator you get or will a certain brand give it a better RB note?????

Looking at a MagnaFlow resonator from Rocket industries , $132 , the body is 6inch long and 6inch round, 3 1/2 inch

Would that be a good thing or not?

As long as it is 3.5inch through with no restriction it will be fine. The worst part about the restrictor in the resi its not something you can really check unless you chop it off and by that time you might aswell change it if you've chopped it off.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
