I want to know if anyone has had a exhaust system fitted with a 3" catback sytsem with a Stainless Genie cannon style muffler - from any exhaust place in Perth.

How loud is it? I'd want to get an ehaust that's realtively quiet (read : far below the decibel noise limit) but still flows well.

Please don't start going on about how I should go jap ehausts etc because I'm on limited budget and Quickfit Morley have quoted ~$500 for the above system (mild steel pipe and stainless muffler) which is a good price but want to know whether it's loud or not. Their work is good - I've had exhaust work done there to several cars, including my NA R33, and am happy with the quality.

Hi there. I too got my exhaust fitted by the good people at Morley quickfit.

Dont know if this will help since my 33 is NA, but i got a 2.5" catback system fitted with a

GENIE S/S muffler and well i guess its far from quiet to say the least. After i got a resonator fitted it was a lot better. I love the tone of it now.

Note: I did read that you had work done there on your NA R33 but am assuming it didnt have a genie muffler?

I hope this helps

mexr,

I do have an NA R33 and have just had the muffler replaced last week with a universal 2.5" one and it's too loud - resonates through the cabin really badly at 3000rpm which is driving me nuts :bonk: . I'll be getting a resonator put in this Saturday.

But the reason I'm asking about the Genie system is when I upgrade to a GTS-t I want to know whether that system will be too loud in a turbo. I can't see why there would be too much of a difference in noise whether it's a NA or turbo with the same system. But I don't want loud!!

mexr wat is your exact set up, how big is the muffler in diameter, and wat resonator did u use? i take it the pipe is mild steel as well?

cheers

*looks at my "angry" flame-popping TRUST 3.5" system*

Ooooohh Yeah (fap fap fap fap)

NA zorst's are always assy to get them sounding nice, this coming from the man who used to drive a 2l NA puss-box with a tin-can-sounding exhaust :cheers: I just never had it a "nice" note...

    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
