Advice On Straight Pipes R34 Turbo

[RBwonga]

hey i was wondering if anyone could let me know about there straight pipe experiences? i had a search on here and on google but kept coming up with threads for WRX's and Commies.

i have a R34 turbo with a 3 inch stainless exhaust and i wanna get from the cat back straight piped, but then i won't have a hot dog, this car won't be my daily so it's not too much of an issue with loudness, but i don't want it to sound like a bloody tractor, should i just get them to put in a hot dog in the new exhaust? love the straight pipe sound but have heard some terrible ones!

any help would be great!

Cheers

Chris

Sorry, but what's a hotdog?

[GTSBoy]

A hotdog is a resonator. Shaped a bit like a hotdog. Very nearly useless.

If it were the only resonator/muffler in a 3" Skyline exhaust I would expect the noise to be horrendous. But if you like that sort of thing, go right ahead.

haha i actually looked at some mazda rotaries before the 34, but i was told by countless people that rotaries are really hard to look after and are high maintenance and break a lot haha.

Just put a small Hot dog out the back or it might resonate like a bitch.

Currently running a straight pipe to a cannon, Not as loud as I thought it would be. I Suggest finding the longest hotdog you can find or a small, straight through muffler

well when my car is driven "on the track" it has a single cell cat and a straight through apexi oval cannon with nothing else. Was nice until the dump pipe was remade from stainless and it become super raspy. It sounds horrible at any revs below 4500. So in my opinion keep it mild steel and save some money while you do it.

Thanks for the advice everyone, a mate is taking it into an exhaust place today and I'll see what he comes up with
