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?

Edited by SliverS2

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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
