Im not discrediting their work, i am letting you know from my experience (take it or leave it). Im all for supporting local business but just giving you the heads up these vq low rev engine sounds are bloody loud (especially in the cabin) where you will be on a constant dose of panadol for the headaches.

I have spoken to one of the local m35 owners here in brisbane about his experience and he mentioned he changed to a diesel muffler and had it sticking out a little more from the rear of the car so the exiting noise was past the rear of the car not under it. Happy trails with you're shop just food for thought.

You're comment sounded like me a few years ago. Now i have a exhaust that was made for the nm35s.

I always appreciate the information and opinions.

I ran an N1 exhaust first on my M35 but went fully custom due to the drone and have had custom for the last year and a half. Compared to what i have heard on youtube clips etc i would hardly call mine droney or loud in comparison but then again my experience with M35's is fairly limited to 3 owners cars.

I may regret not going for a Fujitsubo this time but i'll try and post a clip once mine is sorted for science.

Diesel mufflers are pretty much larger cylinders with a perforated hole pipe that's straight through. Some glass packed or not. Most of the mufflers off the shelf have baffles or loops inside (don't get me started on bullets and cobys). Effectively just makes it like the branded ones without the label price. Cut one open

"if made badly or ignorantly"

I am getting a new exhaust made in the next few weeks. I'll try and post up how it sounds when done. I guess i could have just gotten a new dump / flex and joined the Fujitsubo crew but i like tackling things my own way with what i have at my disposal locally. Support the locals folks :)

If the bloke i am using's other work is an indication of what i'm in store for it should be a nice bit of kit.

You'll have much less of an issue with the drone situation with the manual conversion; which is yet another good thing to add to the enormous list of good things about manual cars... :cheers:

I have Bricks intake now.

Haven't fitted yet, gees imagine would probably be over 120db.

Video coming soon of my Fuji with single cell cat.

My work associate said he could hear me for a good minute before I pulled up to site.

I like the look of that silencer, looks smart.

If the new cat doesn't bring it down enough I might try one of those.

That doesn't sound like any Fujitsubo I have heard under load.

Does it look like it has been tampered with? Resonator still intact? Maybe the rear muffler has been gutted of the baffling by the previous owner?

I was going to say; mine sounds nothing like that.

That has a rasp that is completely absent from mine.

Is there a cat fitted?

With a sound meter phone app (no guarantee of accuracy) mine only registered 90dB at peak (free rev).

But even allowing for error; there's no way known that it would be 107dB, I have mates with bikes around 104dB, and they are orders of magnitude louder than my quiet ol' Fuji.

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
