Hey, I've got a r33 na with an x-force cannon (4 1/2 inch) and want to get it quieter with less vibration that hurts your head after a while. I've installed the silencer and that's done alot but want to hear any ideas of fiberglass, cotton etc inside the cannon to get some quietness. Thanks

A Varex muffler would help, they are one of the best sound deadening mufflers I have found so far, and then you can close the flap to silence them if you need to. My 3.5 inch one doesn't drone much at all.

How did you set up the boost actuated Varex???

Does anyone in here have a car that can't be defected? At the end of the day the goal is to not be pulled over, the impression of a stock car is the key imo.

Unfortunately there are no aftermarket mufflers I can recommend to reduce noise to a legal level other than the closed Varex. Other than that you would be best off finding a S/H jap cat back with a Jasma label.

I have gone back to the Varex motor on mine as the varex valve was too tight and kept jamming. There are other options I am trying at the moment.

Exactly, I think even my FMIC can defected can't it, just don't fail the dick head test if you do get pulled over.

The boost controlled varex looks interesting, shame it didn't quite work, and am interesting in hearing what you come up with.

there are plenty. any exhaust shop could sell you about 10 different ones that would, but few people would want them on their imports as a: they aren't fully hektic cannons, and b: they aren't a straight through type (so don't flow as well). but even a decent flowing muffler used with a decent centre muffler will give you exhaust levels below the legal limit. a non performance orientated muffler will be built in the same way as a stock one and give the same level of noise attenuation

With a 3.5 inch system? You have to be kidding... Most of my customers want 300kw at least these days, with two free flowing mufflers. There aren't many on the market that cater for low noise along with the flow, especially in stainless.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
