Hey guys in in the market for an exhaust but would like to get a data base of stagea exhaust system

State your car, engine and system as below,

S2 C34 RB25DET

Stock dump>gutted cat>stock mid muffler>blitz rice maker muffler

Keen to see what others are running and discuss what performs better. Personally I think local custom is the way to go, the Jap stuff is just too expensive for what it is.

Post up your system!

Can you state your desired power output also as this will have more impact on the noise and expense of any system you require.

For stock power the stock exhaust is the pick, with a decent front/dump.

Most aftermarket Jap systems cant be beaten on noise V flow.

As much power as possible is always the go isn't it? Haha not too fussed on loudness too be honest just after people's system to gather information etc what do you scotty? Another thing, stainless steel vs mild? Best sizes? Types of muffler for best flow?

Well if its auto, you will worry about loudness, as they drone about 50 times more than the manuals, and are excuriating

to stay in, if its manual, just get all 3 inch and fart cannon and thats it

C34 :

I've had dump, no meow, full jap n1 fart cannon system, no mid muffler. 3 inch .., coudn't stay in it for more than 20 minutes without wanting to kill somebody due to drone , on the upside ...sounded like angry GTR on fullnoise even if it was slow

then mid muffler..no real friggin difference, had to drive to melbourne with earplugs in, as the drone is worst at 100km, mid muffler now shits me as its lowest point of car and always scrapes on speed humps

then mid muffler and chambered muffler necked to 2 1/2(not my friggin doing)..ultra quiet(to quiet)

Atm going 38mm ex gate for full throttle noise, and check on dyno if chambered muffler kills

power with 38mm gate. If it does will fit a boost operated solenoid with flapper valve after mid muffler to open under full boost , if it doesn't kill

power, i will just remove mid muffler.

Locally made 3" straight thru including 12" oval mid muffler and a monster rear can 18" fat (cbf going out to measure it) dead quiet and still makes plenty of power. It is quieter and better than a Jap system with no sneaky steps down in diameter inside some Jap mufflers.

The best size is a 5 inch sidepipe, but we need to compromise for the street. Noise for the sake of it is just asking for police attention.

I run a 3.5 inch stainless system, it is only just big enough for the power I am running atm. I use a Varex muffler to control noise when I go through an RBT etc, otherwise it is actually fairly quiet at wot when open. It does drone though. I only use stainless as mild systems rust out too quickly, especially with ethanol.

I had the Varex running a boost actuator, it didn't work well though as the exhaust was too restrictive when the valve was closed. Response was affected mainly, which you don't want on an auto. Hopefully your design works better Jet, perhaps just a spring actuated flap might be a better option?

I'm not sure if i'll need it scotty, as i would be happy with 300rwkw auto, i would have thought that this system with venting

38mm external gate would do it..we will see i guess, i'll pull it of on dyno . , otherwise i will use this

Intake:

Apexi power intake pod filter

Z32 AFM

Metal hard pipe turbo intake kit

Exhaust:

3” JustJap stainless steel single dump pipe system (bolted to GT3076r)

3” 100-cell cat
3” cat-back exhaust system with Magnaflow mid-muffler (straight through 'hotdog' resonator) and Kakimoto GTR Racing rear-muffler (straight through)

Magnaflow made all the difference to quieting the "drone"

Ok so I removed my last stock muffler and welded a pipe in its place now it's straight thro to the rear blitz muffler. Sounds really shot and drowny now haha best muffler for drown? Still want it loud tho

Magnaflow mid resonator. ie Hotdog

get off ebay USA......

I don't think you can win, the resonace drone on a C34 is bouncing of the front windscreen and rolls in from the back, and only

affects the front passengers. If you sit in the back seat, its not there, actually if you put you head a inch back from the front seats it disappears(well did on mine). but in the front it was ear bleeding, You might have a shot with it being manual though..

I had a magnaflow resonator on back of R31, it made a difference, BUT.. i think the main problem is a station wagons a big open area, whereas a sedan has a boot area and is a more enclosed spac, i woudn't expect a R34 sedan or 2 door to have same problem

good luck

Hotdogs or resonators do sweet FA, you need a proper mid muffler.

Im sorry, but in this instance I just cant agree with this comment ^

Speaking from experience with my Stag

without hotdog = drone

with hotdog = drone (mostly) gone.

Not talking about a decrease in noise volume, rather the sound it used to make pre-hotdog within the cabin at a constant rpm @ cruise.

I wouldnt recommend it if I hadnt seen a positive result myself.......

I had two resonators installed in mine, the drone was still there, all they did was make the exhaust sound tinny and weak. The wagon is a speaker box, and you are inside it.

The only exhausts I have heard that don't resonate/drone are the Fujitsubo Legalis and Nismo for the M35, surely there is something similar around cheap you could pick up S/H?

With enough trial and error you could weld in a Helmholtz chamber, as Fujitsubo use. It is a tuned dead end muffler, which can take out certain frequencies of noise, specifically that freeway drone.

my car came from japan with the following:

3" from the turbo

3" hiflow cat

3" into split 2.5" pipes after the diff

2 x 2.5" to 4" kakimoto hyper mega N1 mufflers

all stainless and custom made by the looks of it.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
