hey guys looking for a catback either 3 or 3.5" for my 33. been reading through some search results and besides db rating and "personal oponions" cant seem to find any specs on cfm/flow rating or systems that are true 3".

looking at reinhard 001, blitz nur, trust pe2, hks silent high power and apexi n1.

any/all info on these or back to back testing/ comparisons would be great.

cheers patrick

If you've got a stock turbo, anything that is true 3" will be fine.

They will all flow near enough to the same for the sake of the discussion as 3" piping and straight through mufflers are only ever going to flow a certain amount when not under pressure, so no-one will have tested it and I've never see any such results anywhere.

Where the dB factor comes in is how well the mufflers are made and associated with that is weight in most cases.

much wiser to spend the money on the turbo rather than fancy brand name exhausts,

my system is a 3 1/2inch jap system from the wreckers , cost $180 i changed the fujitsubo muffler for a 3inch Xforce oval muffler,

320kw flow with acceptable noise levels and minimal $$$ spent on exhaust = wise choice

haha yeah my $100 rusty special 3.5" exhaust was fine for 365rwkw, changed to a more expensive 3.5" - no change... Although the headache would've been eliminated as the drone was waaaay excessive with the el-cheapo single muffler (if you could call it that) setup. :)

Silent 3" system flowed 360kw on my car... Was a little laggier than I hoped but was an awesome result for what it is... It's an Apexi I think, the one with the ironic "Super Megaphone" on it :)

Whilst I currently have an Evo, not a Line, I can share my experience as principle is the same.

Went from a True 3'inch custom made cat back (loud and droney) to a 3 inch Fujitsubo RMO1A which tapers to 2.5 inch inside the 2 resonators.

Notice sweet F$%k all in terms of power difference. All i felt was a bees dick more lag, and about 99% less headaches with the RMO1A :-)

Also have had a HKS Hi Power and 5Zigen pro racer on the Evo and exactly the same. Not much difference between all of them...

Better off getting a decent tune.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
