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...

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
