Yes that rasp and the volume does seem to indicate a complete absence of any baffles and sound absorbing materials... The sound is litterally just bouncing around the pipes...

Certainly explains the touchy throttle with no restriction.

When I had the stock turbo, I'd be on boost reversing up driveways.

100 cell cat fitted today as there was none, a tad quieter but not much.

Less rasp. Next to zero loss in performance.

The mufflers looks as new, no evidence of cutting open or modification.

I did a poke inside the rear muffler to feel for baffles and/or walls.

It appears completely hollow.

It's looks the same system as Luis.

The previous owner told me he went for a straight through option on the exhaust.

Anyway, still have AMPerformance intake to stick on, then tune. Probably be louder again.

Intake will change bugger all.

It's already metal; all you're doing in putting a bigger pipe down to the same inlet restriction.

Is that for the 2.5 and 3.5 litre motors ? My flanges are badly rusting and figure I'll be needing to do something soonish and I've got the 3.5...

All NM35 (VQ25det) cat-back exhausts will fit a PNM35/PM35 (3.5L) without modification.

The M35 (VQ25dd) utilises different hangers for the rear muffler for whatever reason.

ok sorry revisiting this again.

People are constantly commenting how loud my car is so back to work on it.

My exhaust is Legalis R, twin 83mm tips. Fujitsubo stamp on the rear muffler

Rear muffler is straight through with a perforated inner skin. (Boomer)

I can see the inlet with a torch.

Internal outlets look 50mm then flare to 83mm

Can anyone confirm this is the genuine design for this system ?

Thinking of fitting a chambered rear if it won't be too restrictive..

thanks

 

Are these car people or just general population?  As someone not into cars may think anything louder than a prius is too loud.

It's possible yours may have been modified as I have a freeway dolphin dump and front pipe, into a fujibutso legalis R and it's very quiet a full turbo back 3inch. I also have a 7m powered soarer with 3inch kakimoto exhuast which sets off car alarms it's so loud in comparison.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
