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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
