R33 Varex Exhaust?

[Spotamous]

Hey guys.

At the moment i have a R33 GTS25de, and it has jasma headers then a straight 2.5 inch system cannon, and its putting out abit to much niose for all the people in my neighborhood said the police man and the epa haha, and im just wondering if any one here has got a varex exhaust, just so i can quiet it down when i need to. I've just heard they dont sound very good and they dont go much quieter, im just after some advice.

Thanks everyone much appreciated

any stainless steel muffler/system will sound slightly "tinny".

OP, if you want one, get one, they are great.

In 2 & half years of owning one, not once been pulled up on it or EPA'd.

See an RBT/Police up ahead, close the valve & the car is quieter than my girlfriends hyundai.

works a treat.

yes they are expensive, but to me it was worth every penny.

yes they are illegal, so is a lot of other things, a quiet car doesn't grab attention & doesn't sound "modded" & I can only assume that if I didn't have it, I would have received at least one EPA notice or defect.

most of the people who say they are "shit", "Chinese crap", "valve fails", "overpriced" etc are either the ones who have never owned one, a jdm brand fanboy or were told on a forum they were junk.

just don't get the cannon, it's MASSIVE, the valve is visible from behind & it does sound kinda crappy.

oval body is the better choice.

big reply but hope it helps rather than your generic: "omg they are sooo crap lolz /END THREAD cause I know everything" response haha

works a treat -

but will still be a skyline, one look at the exhaust and its easily spotted and will then be tested with the valve open which I garuntee will be over 91db (I believe Joel's "wtf33" Natro was 103db when tested)

have personal experience on both an sr20 and an LS1 in both instances open = raspy horribleness and when closed was quite simply on the worst sounds I've heard (think wet flatulence)

its an NA skyline it won't sound modded because its not, save the money and build a decent system instead of trying to have the best of both worlds which in reality you end up with the best of nothing

Mate at the end of the day it's your choice, but IMO they're not worth the price (at all, especially on a NA)...

I have twin tip Varex and I farking love it. Sounds great, is quieter than stock when closed (Skylines might arouse suspicion, but loud Skylines are begging to be pulled over), has saved my ass a few times and does not rob me of kw.

I do believe the twin tip is superior to the cannon style. When open its just a 3 inch straight pipe and...attached to a mild steel system won't sound tinny.

Nik since when did any SR20 sound good...my old work ute running on 7 cylinders sounded better than my S15 trackie with straight pipe, truth...

- as i said, in 2 & a half years & various RBT's/pull overs (incl. highway patrol) etc not once have they even looked at the exhaust.

- but not on an RB?

my thoughts on this are exactly what birds wrote.

& just for the record, a mate of mine bought some $2k+ off the shelf headers back system for his 6.0L VZ commo, it was supposed to be the "beez kneez" & it has a horrible raspy note to it higher in the revs. Can't remember the brand but it's stainless from the headers to cats, then mild steel to the rear muffler.

its an NA skyline it won't sound modded because its not, save the money and build a decent system instead of trying to have the best of both worlds which in reality you end up with the best of nothing

- missing the point here, if the exhaust doesn't sound modded, then from my experience they don't check.

Mate at the end of the day it's your choice, but IMO they're not worth the price (at all, especially on a NA)...

- The OP wants something that he can quiet down when needed, so either a varex or an apexi ecv is what he needs.

[lindz34]

even better the OP could buy my varex for $14k & get a free N/A 34 with it
