Looking to get the best sound out of my RB3025neo without being over the top loud, have read heaps of threads, want some fresh opinions

Setup details- RB3025neo , 260poncams, topmount, GT3076, 44mm tial, E85, 3 1/2inch dump and 100cell cat, current 3 1/2inch catback with jap middle muffler and X force large oval muffler..

Options so far

1) Cut jap middle muffler out and keep rest of system

2) HKS hi power 409 catback

3) cut Jap middle muffler out and replace X force muffler with Magnaflow, then add second Magnaflow if too loud...

So which will sound best , will a HKS catback with restrictors still be a restriction if using E85??

So is the only difference between the Hi-Power and the Hi-Power 409 the type of steel?

I'm potentially interested in the Silent Hi-Power as I'm coming from an exhaust that may have given me permanent hearing damage. Looking to improve upon that. ;)

I put the Silent on my car a couple of weekends ago. It is loud. Too loud for my liking, but you may like it.

Hmm. Not that YouTube videos mean much, but it seemed relatively mild. I am looking for a quiet exhaust. I want improved performance, but if it sounded completely stock, that would be fine by me. If this is too loud, what system would you recommend? Are any quieter?

I've been reading about all the quiet ones, and it seems as though the GReddy Power Extreme II, Kakimoto Regu 06&R, and the HKS Silent Hi-Power are the top of the heap for quiet. But everyone's opinions on the best one are split (usually people just say the one they have is the best).

Seems to me, though, that the the Kaki and GReddy are pretty restrictive. The HKS is 3.75" (95 mm). So it may be the best compromise if silent is the goal but want to be able to build up HP without restricting.

No you get one custom made to make power and be streetable

If that's the case, what specifications would you recommend? I'm in the US where about 99% of exhaust shops won't even know what kind of car I'm driving. So some direction would be nice rather than spending $$$ on trial and error. Thanks!

Picked up the HKS hi power 409, i was expecting restrictions but this doesn't have the expected 2.5inch silencers, i had to google about exhaust size measurements and correct me if wrong, you measure OD right??

Seems the smallest part is the bit that will bolt to the cat , which is 3inch , this continues thru the small resonator we'll call it, then its 3.5inch, then at the flange it steps up to 3.85inch which goes thru the cannon then 5inch tip...

So this could be loud, we'll have to see but a thought a JASMA rated catback has to meet a decibel rating?? but with a GT3076, top mounted, and 3.5inch dump, maybe it will be much louder than Jasma hey...

Yeah that will be loud.

Did your have the silencer in the rear or middle or does it look similar to this?

I can put a large Xforce muffler in the middle or Magnaflow, so should be ok for a weekender...

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
