hey guys i was wondering what size exhaust would be best for my n/a r34? 2 & 1/4 .. 2 & 1/2 ??
would extractors be a gain or worth it?

would it be worth getting a hi flow cat ??
im looking for power increase i know that not enough back pressure can have power loss...

help is much appreciated!! :)

thanks in advance.

regards, Giuseppe

.... Oh god, it's one page back just look.

I'll make it simply, the exhaust is a waste of time for powahhhh it's just for noise wank factor.

2 1/2 inch with a twin tip muffler at the back and a single resonator... It'll be loud and droney have fun

Use the search button. This is the second incredibly pointless and numerously answered thread you have started. Use the search button or go through a few pages. The N/A section is basically 5 questions asked 200 times.

Exhaust = wank factor. End of story. N/a twincam skylines sound like crap anyway. They rasp, they drone, they have a terrible throaty noise in the low revs and have will not impress anyone. They will sound better with a stock exhaust, trust me. If you're so adamant about noise, then put an aftermarket pod filter enclosed in an airbox. The intake noise is more than enough noise and the car will sound better then if it has an exhaust on it.

Put a varex rear muffler when you are around town and cruising on the HWY. RB doesn't sound that great when driving "normally" (under 3000rpm), sounds similar to an old Falcon. Sounds awesome when at higher revs though.

But yeah +1 for stock

I'm running from the extractors back: 2.75" mandrel bent piping, hi flow 100 cell cat, resonator and a kakimoto muffler, (not a cannon).


It's sounds pretty quiet at idle and has the traditional RB sound from 3500rpm and below but once I go higher you can tell thats its definitely an N/A. (Sad face).



I've had comments on it that it does sound alright on the highway and when I give it the berries as well. (On track or private road of course.)



It makes cracks and pops from time to time too which I like as well :)

Stock system will reduce thy raspyness leaving a quiet car with intake noise which is the only noise that will sound good on your car.

According to you

No, I'm fairly sure that's fact actually.

According to you

Well you must be a minority then if you find the sound of an n/a skyline's exhaust note pleasing. Like alot of straight 6 BMW's, twincam RB motors are awfully raspy and droney in n/a form. The only real way to counteract it is to have a quiet exhaust system, or even better stock. Instead of putting up with the horrible raspy drone from an n/a, ive found it more enjoyable being able to cruise in peace and quiet. If I want noise, then I will get a pod filter in a box. Plant the car and all of a sudden it becomes brutally loud and has a nice throaty intake sound that believe you me, with a QUIET exhaust can actually be heard a hundred or so meters in front of the car. Intake noise is always drowned by loud exhausts, people dont know what they are missing out on imo lol.

Chicks get wet when they hear the mighty sound of my pod filter when i punch the throttle. This is on my 1998 mazda 121 metro. And thats before they find out my wheels are infact JDM mazda mx-5 enkei alloys!

Offset >40 with brake clearance makes the wimminz moist ;)

No, I'm fairly sure that's fact actually.

So you've heard my car before have you?

I wouldn't drive one if I didn't like the sound of it. Don't like it? Then don't get one. Simple

I can cruise in peace and quiet too. The sound of the RB is my peace and quiet.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
