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 put a second hand zorst on my 32 2L-t

3" to a huge straight through mid muffler, then going to a 31/2" and a small straight through cannon, friggin a lot quieter than I thought, and only $200 from epay

thanks again shifty

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?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
