Hey everyone,

Car is finally up and running well.

So I have decided on finally fixing the broken exhaust.

I have a rather large crack where the exhaust joins to my mid muffler.

Looking to replace the muffler with a aftermarket piece and sorting this issue out.

Any recommendations on a 3 inch mid muffler for my exhaust.

Something that is not so restrictive but nothing over the top loud.

Cheers,

Daniel

Just found them online for $120 delivered

I think it is the one someone else suggested because they have a nice deep tone.

I also just emailed the guy from AES about how much he would charge as well.

I'm also looking at fitting a mid muffler to my exhaust, since fitting the 6 boost with the gtx3076 the exhaust is so much louder than it was with the stock turbo and manifold on there.

Currently I've got a 3" stainless dump off the turbo, 3" cat which I'm unsure of the brand or the quality of it, the mid sections a straight through pipe with the only muffler being a x force varex muffler at the rear but if you drive around in the quite mode it sounds utter shit!

Good thing the short mid section is flanged so it's easy enough to get something made up. I'm prob leaning towards a stainless straight through magnaflow. I've had the aero chambers on my v8's honestly not to sure if I'd like that sort of deepness coming out of a skyline. Hmmm. Any other suggestions on mid mufflers?

Kind of hard to get measurements whiles it's on the car.

But I got under there with the tape measure and got the following measurements.

Length = 29cm (11.6inches)

Width = 24 to 24.5cm ( 9.4 to 9.6inches)

It also seems my current design is.

3 Inch centre inlet

3 inch off centre outlet

All of the designs I could find on the Hooker Aero were either

3 inch off centre inlet with a 3 inch centre outlet.

or

3 inch centre inlet with 3 inch centre outlet.

Not sure what to do in that situation

Any advice would be great.

Otherwise I guess I can just take this to AES and they can hook me up with a custom made one.

Are these mufflers directional?? Can't you just turn the muffler around?

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
