MMmm ok, I bought this car with a 3 inch straight through already on it.

It has the large twin tip Jasma muffler.

As much as I'd hate to say it , it's just too loud.

Giving me a headache with every day driving.

I reversed up a steep driveway early last Saturday and woke up the whole street.

The deep growl at low rpm is awesome, but mid range ..... :yucky:

There's a crackle that just echoes off everything I pass.

So can anyone suggest a muffler that will have minimum loss of power, no drone and still a nice sound.

Forget Varex Xforce, aint gonna waste $500 on a muffler..., plus extra $$ on install

cheers

Fujibitsu legalis R is by far the best system. Straight bolt up proven to flow over 300kw atw and a nice sound with absolutely no drone and is legal volume. If you get one and need it fitted bring it over and I'll bolt it up.

^What he said

I swapped my stock variable system for a Fujitsubo and made a huge difference and highly recommend it.

If you are interested in my old system I'm happy to sell it. It's a factory variable system

Mine looks the same as Luis.

What's the deal with the second mid muffler ???

Does is act as a resonator or something ?

I'll put it up on ramps and take some pics tomorrow..

Thanks Josh for the offer mate

I'm assuming twin tip is louder than single.

Twin tip is designed to flow faster ??? Less time for sound to be absorbed..

I think my muffler is slightly larger than Luis and completely hollow.

I put a stick in there and couldn't feel a thing.

I'll take some measurements tomorrow and db test it.

Mate the varex systems are way too loud when open and so restrictive when closed. These engines have such loud low rev engine sound and its hard to make an exhaust that is not loud.

Ive had aa apex-n1, straight through with varex, fujitsubo legalis r and now a kakimoto hypermega and have to say that the fujitubusu legalis is the quietest followed closely by the kakimoto hypermega n1. If you can get your hands on either of these systems you will be more than happy.

Loudest system ive had is the apex-i N1. This thing can be heard from like 4 streets away.... stupid loud

This is my old system next to my new one

This is actually a stock V35 coupe mid section joined to the stock M35 rear muffler... The stock V35 sedan/M35 Stagea is about 10 times bigger...

It is a cheap change quick change over that is a tonne lighter and does make it sound a little bit nicer than stock... And yes, I did this mod... :-)

I wondered why the mid pipe always looked different to other stock M35's exhausts I have seen. How was the droan compared with the V35 mid section after you swapped it

There was none...

Was able to use bluetooth device clipped to sunvisor without any problems before and after changing the mid section. I ran it with the coupe mid section for a couple of years and around 25,000km. Sold the car with it, and pretty certain that the guy who bought it also left it on there.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
