Except I had an 80mm Fujitsubo Legalis R pass noise emissions while flowing 300+kw. There are good exhausts and there are cannons. :P

Yep; they are a great thing; I'd much rather have it on, and never get hassled.

Using a sound meter app, and in the garage, with a bit of reflected noise; mine runs 80db at idle, and 90 at 3000rpm.

When I built the split system for my C34 I was looking at using 2 Varex mufflers side by side, but the cost was going to be too much. So I was looking at what else is available and found Dynamax VT mufflers which for 2 was less than the price of 1 Varex.

These use the same sort of thing, a butterfly valve but they are spring loaded. At light loads they remain close and under full noise they become near enough to straight through. They are nice and short in height and don't look any different from a standard muffler from the outside, which for me is plus. Once the car is warm, it's quieter than factory, but with a slight rumble to it. Full noise and it just screams.

Here's the only pic I have that you can see the valve in mine.

Lots of clearance when tucked up high.

Thats cool was it easy to order, so the site

Slightly off topic here; do you guys get randomly pulled over in your M35 Stageas? Spoke to a friend who drives an import and he said two things which may have explained why I spefically got pulled over:

- driving along Princes Highway at night where it is very common for street racing/traffic light drags to occur

- though the M35 Stageas look understated, they are starting to build a bad reputation by cops who specifically target imports

Nope, the only time I have been singled out and pulled over I deserved it.

Distant police car in the opposite lane caught me on a near-deserted road... momentarily airborn off the down side of a bridge... doing near 150kph in a 100 zone... D'oh (yes we had to be somewhere urgently, but still...)

All the coppers think it is a volvo anyway, especially the AR-X from a distance...

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
