I need some input on what you people think causes less restriction.

I used to have a De-Cat + the OEM standard Nissan exhaust..

That was fine and the sound was great.

I changed this to:

De-Cat + 3'' Greddy Stainless Steel PEII (http://www.nengun.com/greddy/power-extreme-ii)

The PEII is not bad but I find it noisy and I need to do something about it.

I suspect that putting the CAT back in will reduce the noise ..

However what would be more restrictive ->

De-Cat with the Nissan exhaust

or

The OEM-CAT with the PEII

I have a 3.5'' Tomei downpipe and an HKS-Dump, so there is increased volume after the turbo.

Car makes about 270kw.

between a 100 cell and de-cat, the difference is 10kws at 360rwkws. On the same time it also depending on the quality of cat, as I also had a 100 cell cat which I punched out that made 120rwkws difference.

the problems is you can tell someone to go spend $400+ on a good CAT so they only loose on on the 10kw or so over a stocker... Or spend $0 and De cat which really, Gives the best result from a flow point of view.

Legality aside, We are all old enough to make informed choices here. End of the day nothing will beat a straight through exhaust.

Hey do you want to tell us what cat that was (or PM me if you don't want to bag them publicly).

Thanks guys,

Much appreciated ..

Anus aside ;) I am in the UK and for imported vehicles there are certain loopholes to get around the use of a CAT.

I will see if I find a higher flowing CAT and give it go ..

How can I bolt a silencer onto the tip?

Do you mean a ristrictor by chance?

These look very silly and put a lot of back pressure into the system.

simple just get a silencer and bolt/ screw it onto the tip, if its too quiet, get a bigger hole drilled into it

yes same thing

most japanese exhausts have a hole at the bottom so u can slip them in and screw them on, and dont they look the best.......

better then what ever back pressure you were making with a decat and stock zorst

Hey,

I am not too sure about this since I had one of these restrictors and the actual diameter of the hole in the restrictor

was about half the size of outlet area the standard zaust offered.!

So I am tempted to say that it builds up more back-pressure which is not so good.

The turbo spools up faster (due to more volume present after the turbo) but then the restrictor

stuffs the system up.

I had one of these:

And they look really silly with that little pigeon hole, don't you think?

Cheers. .

Yes,

I agree .. it's the worst possible solution.

(I removed that restrictor very quickly when I saw how tiny the diameter was)

Those silencers are not for serious use. They do exactly what you'd expect them to do. They quiet the exhaust down by strangling it. Anyone who expects otherwise needs a lesson in, well, just about everything.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
