Looking to build or buy an exhaust that is super stealth and quiet but is non restrictive up to around 350kw. (no i do not want to go a varex muffler)
Currently running 3inch turbo down to cat then a 4inch kakimoto.
I was thinking from cat back run a 3inch exhaust with 2 mufflers ? any other ideas or sneaky stuff people have done ?

What do you mean sneaky?

I ran a hooker aero chamber and a Berkeley straight through at the rear. Was under the legal vole by a fair bit, no drone and flowed over 300 rwkw.

Research exhaust design. Two mufflers the same don't do much more than one. Fit the biggest mufflers you can fit. Look at branch resonators if you have a particular frequency drone you want to cancel.

I tried a few combos until I was happy with the result.

By sneaky I mean running a stock cat back exhaust then running a waste gate with a small pound spring to vent out exhaust gases. attachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1423175348.468724.jpg

Like so :) ^

very cheeky indeed, similar to how OEM cars get away with noise. If you crack open a stock EVO muffler it uses a little flapper to control noise when doodling around town.

I have the HKS silent hi power on my GT-t. Has a Hypergear SS2 turbo, custom 3' dump and front pipe and hi flow cat and its really quiet at idle. I can confirm that the nismo is quieter having been on a few cruises with Raj.

And I'm currently making 320.6 rwkw at 22psi on E85 so it doesn't appear to be too much of a restriction

plus one for the Nismo.... i put one the 3" version on a N/A skyline and it was still very quiet and sounded batter than any custom system i had heard before.... i was very suprised when we started and drove the car.

another option is like the exhaust i have i think its a fubijsbu its a twin 2.25 inch system with a single straight through muffler at the rear and 2 resonators, passed EPA and flowed 350kw

I got a full 3.5" turbo back exhaust with a custom oval 3.5" muffler and a custom AES 3.5" rear round muffler

Nice and quiet and doesn't drone, been pulled over for rbts and by random cops in the city and even asked to rev the car and they were happy with the volume

So far flows 450kw ample for your power

If that thing had any mufflers in it in the first place!! They are both far too small to do anything. Replace the centre one with the biggest oval centre-centre muffler you can. Replace the rear one with the biggest muffler (probably oval again) you can. Instant fixup.

    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
