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

Sound tinny and crap

Expensive

Only slight sound change

Illegal

.... just put another muffler in your system

\reopen thread.

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...

sell gay natro skyline.

buy hyundai excel.

save money.

learn to drive.

buy turbo skyline.

end of discussion.

Look out Paul or you'll get hit with one of these bad boys....

- 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.

    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
