I reckon close may be about the best outcome ?

But when I am ready I will ask whoever is doing it, what should I do ?

Well, Racepace could make the catback part, workshop could make the turbo to cat...

Unless they can offer you a queitish freeflowing exhaust.

I don't know personally, I've got a straight through 4", Have always thought about RP 4" since piggaz and nismoid used to talk about them.

They lock them so no one can see their tunes, they did the same thing to my FC and Scott was able to get around it I would have expected more down low then that, you need to get someone else to tune

I don't aim for legal anymore when it comes to exhaust. A friend of mine swapped back to the standard system in his S15 and only passed by 1dB.

bit of a joke really.

Rules I follow:

aim for quiet enough to not arouse police attention while idling at an RBT

Quiet enough to not wake the neighbors as they can report you to EPA using the new app

If you can't chat to your passenger while idling in traffic or cruising at 120 it's too loud.

Don't drive in the city on Friday or Saturday nights. Don't be so stupid as to cruise through Kings Cross

most importantly:

No. f**king. Cannons.

It is possible to have a quiet system that makes good power. External wastegate vented to atmosphere will help tremendously.

just out of curiosity would a thick walled exhaust pipe be quieter?

Except external gates vented to atmos are even more illegal then being too loud.. And they sound gheyyy as f**k

this except the screamer(i dont like gate).

My 4" is fairly quiet.

Have had cops cruise behind me and keep moving.

It's not legal(i think it would be close ish.)

And i have mild steel, apparently quieter than stainless(was told by exhaust shop).

You run 4" all the way , dump to tip, what Cat and Muffler do you have, I have no idea what mine is, I asked for a quiet one and they had a mob custom a 3.5" stainless one for me , but did shit all with the dump and cat ?

Have you had yours tested for the DB level ?

I still think a quietish exhaust can still sound OK :/ but I still love a good GROWL :)

What did you have on before the 4" ?

Nice, that is basiclly how i look at it to

And no, thick wall is louder where it matters, out the back as the noise can not escape till it exits exhaust, thin wall or mild steel wrapped in heat wrap is quietist and the reason i went mild steel for my 4", just waiting for gearbox to arrive to finsih wrapping it

I had a Jap 80mm catback before this and this is a lot quieter, good quality mufflers make a big difference, Windsor Exhaust did mine and they custom made the mid muffler for me

i can't remember having it tested, but fairly quiet.

Just prior to this, had a stainless twin 3 with catch ceramic cats in single 4.

Very noisy.

Approx test level of 105db.

The cat in currently using is a 5" metal cat, don't know brand sorry.

I will try and get a pic of the mufflers today.

They are branded, just can't remember what brand.

And I'd estimate test would show approx 98-100db.

I love that you can still just hear the wastegate open.

Just....

Windsor exhaust also made mine, not custom mufflers, but still very happy with the work.

Well priced too.

They make car-truck exhausts, so 4" isn't that big for them.

Cool. Yeah my logic behind the screamer pipe is that if you're on boost near a highway patrol car it won't matter whether your waste gate is plumbed in. I just like the idea of an extra 2" Exhaust to help with flow when you need it.

Although it would suck to get epa'd and have one extra thing to worry about

umm no.

basically, modifying cars aren't legal. pretty much everything changed on your car, my car and the car of everyone else on these forums have illegal mods.

what you need is not attracting attention.....not too loud, careful where and when you go, and don't drive like a dickhead.

plenty of 8second VL turbo's on the youtube that are quiet enough, only noisy RB's seem to be ones without proper mufflers on

this is daily driven 10second R34 that's quiet enough

I've seen that Mercury motorsport R34 in person, its driven daily and I doubt the cops would give it any attention due to sound outputs..

A lot of them are only noisy when at full throttle/revs, driven normal they are quiet enough, its pretty logical

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
