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...

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
