JJR Dump & CAT

Dodgy 3" J spec steel cat back with big mid muffler and HKS mega can (5" tip with a silencer thing that has never been shoved in).

Its quiet at idle but doesnt really have an RB burble.

I would like to maybe change the mid muffler to get a meatier sound but it's welded in.

I dont want it louder just sound better.

If you think your car is droney, try driving with the boot a little open.

I picked up a door for the house that was too long, it was the loudest trip home with everything being reverberated straight forward into the cabin.

Scotty's dump

Front pipe

Apexi N1catback

Sounds good between 3 and 5, bit droney otherwise, and makes some wierd 'wind exiting cannon' sound at full noise...


Will replace eventually

Just curious if anyone here has actually had their's db tested. Mine is a custom job from about 8 years ago now (previous owner). 3" from turbo back, custom made oval mid (apparently it was meant for a rotary I was told) and some kind of cannon up back. I've never had any attention from the police with it, but they are coming down real hard on anything that even looks modified around my area at the moment. Its not a bad sounding system and far from obnoxious but it does drone a bit and I'm still not sure its completely within db limits (it wouldn't be far over if at all). The canon on the back has seen better days now anyway and I got over the "canon thing" years ago. So I'm thinking of changing the mid and rear. Making the rear some thing oval with twin tips. Will look a bit more inconspicuous. I'm never going to be chasing massive amounts power from this car, one day if I can get up to 200awkw then I'd be happy with that. So I'm still going to keep it all 3" but want it quieter now with less drone. So something internally baffled instead of straight through is probably going to be the way to go. Anyone with a similar setup to this I would like to hear what you've got.

the one i posted in the youtube vid, is my straight thru system, from 1m away @4k rpm it did 106dB. (thats no cat, no mid muffler, just the end muffler from the HKS hi power silent kit.
now with a 170cell cat, and original HKS hi power system, i did 91dB @4krpm from 1m away.

tested at my mates exhaust shop with the dB reader

Hi I'm considering upgrading to a custom 3.5" cat back, car making about 450hp, wondering if it would benefit...over my current 3" set up

Pretty vague, there can be substantial differences between 3inch exhausts so how would we know how good yours is?....

Go on dyno , do power run.

Drop exhaust, do power run.

Figure out if you want to make new exhaust.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
