Hi guys i know this is probably pushing it but i have to ask

Is there such a thing as a quiet 3 inch exhaust for a R33 GTS~t.

If so does anybody have Db test something close .

other wise i may have to do a stealth system like pic....

Good quality round centre muffler and oval rear muffler can be within legal limits.

my 3" inch system is legal, quiet and not restrictive.

3.5" dump, 3" 100cel cat, 2x 3" straight-through mufflers, dump tip. All stainless, all magnaflow.

not a skyline, but turbo cars are generally same-same.

At 100km/h the engine/turbo noise and general tyre/road noise kills any quiet time you might get anyway!!! Well it does in mine. If I want to drive and listen to music the volume knob gets a work out!!!

Once you get 2x mufflers & a resonator to remove the "bark" from the exhaust it's pretty quiet.... the tyre/road noise is the loudest thing in my car at cruise.

On the loud pedal there's "some" noise but you can still hold a full conversation without raising your voice.

if yr interested, my super super quiet 3" exhaust from my 33 GTR will be coming off soon (i'm actually annoyed that it is too quiet and going to a 3.5" varex).

i think they are interchangable with gtst's..... if so you could buy that one from me :)

Yep

I run a 3.5" system and I can tell you it's quieter than 90% of the skylines out there....

3.5" dump -> 3.5" cat -> 3.5" mid muffler -> 3.5" resonator -> 3.5" muffler

What brand of mufflers you using?, got any part numbers?

Id like to build a 3.5 inch exhaust, but my mates ones are super drony even with 2 big mufflers and a lot of 3.5 inch mufflers are only 3 inch internally so im sorta put off atm

was just going to go 3.5 inch to just before diff and go back to 3 inch and use muffflers i have used before that dont drone like crazy

cheers

the mid muffler is a basic hurricane round 3.5" muffler, the resonator has been cut off same cat back (HKS Priest) and the sides trimmed till the pipe work became 3.5" the rear muffler is a massive HKS Priest muffler which isn't really 3.5" more like 3.25" but good enough.

Funny enough, when the gate cracks the exhaust gets even quieter.. (it's plumbed back after the cat) like so (old pic, all the shit is wrapped up and also the wiring has been cleaned up):

My soarer is loud as f**k with its 3.5" system

Has a big hooker aerochamber at the back and a custom mid muffler (its small cause f**k all room with a 3.5" pipe)

What mufflers are you guys using on the quieter systems?

i thought the hooker was one of those mufflers that is actually 3 inch internally aswell, only has 3.5 outers

cheers

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
