Exhaust system help

Hi all,

 

I'm making around 250rwkw in my r33 gtst with a hypergear op6 highflow.

 

My exhaust of right (3 inch system) now is a bellmouth dump pipe, to venom 100cell cat, then straight to a jasma cannon. However the jasma cannon reduces to around 2.5 inch.

 

This setup is fairly loud but not too bad when cruising and light throttle.

 

I want to replace the cannon with a piece of 4 inch straight pipe. Mainly because i want to remove the 2.5 inch restriction, i like the look and i can do it fairly cheap. I don't want the exhaust to be insanely loud or drone heaps. A little louder than now is ok.

 

If i install a hot dog resonator after the cat, will this be enough to reduce noise a bit and keep drone down? Or will i have to install a different type of muffler?

'zactly.  There is a logical limit to how big a muffler under the floor can be.  You obviously need 3" in and out, and it is quite likely that you will need it to be centre-centre because it will be going in in place of a piece of straight pipe.  So your typical oval mid muffle will only be so tall and so-so wide.  Your main degree of freedom is the length, and there will only be so much freedom there.  Get the longest one in the catalogue.

I just checked my exhaust and the way its the piping goes doesnt allow space for a mid muffler.

I also drove the car with a straight pipe (was doing hicas delete so had to drop rear exhaust) just to see how loud it was. Needless to say its unbearingly loud, i got about 20 angry looks even though i drove around at low rpms.

Can anyone recommend me a rear muffler ( preferably dual tip ) that flows well but is quiet?

They will do a twin tip if you ask

I added a photo of a single tip, 4 inch offset in, centre out for reference. Can be made I any length you want.

Or leave it as is. At 250KW you are not going to gain a lot from going to 3in. Save up til you can afford a good muffler.

The main reason i want to change is the drop to 2.5 inch really bugs me and I'm over the look of the cannon.

Not expecting any noticeable performance increase.

And the pipework looks 3 inch while the his exhaust is 3.5 if I'm right?

 

Was looking at this before but had another idea, joining the end of the chamber the end where it's capped to the actual exhaust (without actually drilling through. Just not sure if it'll still be effective that's all)

 

Saves the hassle of having to find a way to mount the chamber

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
