I need some advise I am going to get a muffler fitted and maybe a extra one. All that I have on the skyline at the moment is a 3" straight from the turbo to the back. It's too loud. What do you recommend to put in. Also I don't want it too quiet

Can you weld? Do you have a welder?

I had 3" turbo back with cat and 3" straight through muffler and was fine.

Changed to bigger turbo and it was terribly loud. Replaced muffler to bigger one and fitted 3" resonator inline. It's now bearable but on long drives my kids get headaches in the back. Not loud enough to attract attention unless heavily accelerating/decelerating

This is what i was gonna say, weld in a resonator and muffler 

It's missing a cat too. I can weld but I don't have the tools available here so I'll just take it to the shop. I'll ask them to fit a muffler and a resonator. What brands are you guys running. I don't know if I can be bothered with a cat

Anything would do the job on a budget, u can get a full system on ebay for 300 bucks


Yer I wasn't worried about cost just wanted something to last and something with a nice note.


I ebayed muffler and resonator separately. Then got a shop to put it all together.

Get a metal intake pipe... You won't care about exhaust note when spool sounds heavenly and twice as loud

Agreed, but its convenient for cruise tuning.

I'd rather egt than wideband

 

True, its hard to find something that is accurate. I find cars that are tuned on dynos can be reli rich and they use wide band. Iv seen cars with on board wide bands show 11 and a dyno centre show 12 doesnt seem like alot but it is

I tried 2 cheap EGT's on my ute that both failed quickly. Got one from an industrial engine used in mining applications.

Apart from being built stronger it reads up to 100C differently

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
