I have an R33 GTS-T with BOS front pipe, Catco cat, Trust PE2 cat back and it is a bit too quiet. It is a full stainless steel system. I want it a bit louder. I was thinking of cutting out the muffler and putting in a bit of 3" pipe but after reading on here that would probably be too loud.

Is my only option, without getting a new catback, to cut out the old muffler and weld in a new smaller louder muffler?

If you do that mate it's going to sound like shit idling around town. going from 3" to 3.5" on the catback is the BEST option but if you want to do it on the cheap then chop out the muffler and see what happens

See if you can find someone to swap your exhaust for the Trust. Much better than cutting up a nice piece of exhaust!

Either swap, or have a center piece made up with no muffler in it, to swap in and out as your mood changes.

Id go for the HKS Hi-Power "Silent". Sounds awesome! I had a swappable center piece to put in for quiet times.

Personally though, the PEII i thought was only quiet putting around town. I used Lithium's PEII on my R33 to pass inspection, and with the GT30 it is anything but quiet giving it full bananas. lol.

My HKS + GT30 and decat:

Thanks gotRICE that's a good idea I might do that. Make a centre piece I can bolt in, probably be easier. I've had the car for about 2 years and it just needs a change, a bit more of a rumble would be nice. Your car sounds mean.

I would look for any "quietening" restrictions in the system first , look through the back muffler for neck downs and if you can in the mid muffler . Some Jap systems use smaller sized tube from the cat to the mid muffler so an alternative middle section could work . If you want it louder makes sense to lose any restrictions it may have .

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
