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.

    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
    • I do this, I also don't get the joke  
    • Return flow cooler will be killing you I reckon. You can certainly push more through a low mount setup but they're good numbers for a stock looking engine bay.  Mine made 345rwkw (hub) at 22psi on 98 with a "highflow" on a stock manifold but it's a long way from a normal high flow or standard engine. I used one of those Turbosmart IWG-75's and it was great with the Motec running closed loop boost with pressure being applied to both sides of the diaphragm. 
    • Hey man do you have pic of adaptor plate by any chance I need to match up the bolt holes as my gearbox adaptor plate ones are way off the only bolts of starter motor are matching thanks
