Quiet type muffler w/o resonator

[cachorro]

I have an old school HKS Priest exhaust on my R33. I was thinking of swapping it but I like the style. It is a quiet exhaust and has a big old resonator. Does anybody have this type of quiet type muffler without the resonator? Would like any idea if it would sound raspy or not

I have retained an HKS Hi power muffler in my 33 gtr. It is 95mm in on the muffler, but the rest of the system was shit. Binned the rest of the HKS system from end of front pipe to start of muffler, which includes the resonator. I replaced it with custom 3.5" stainless. Sounds heaps better and is way less restrictive.

I put a brand new HKS hi power recently on a customers car and it quietened it down immensly (straight piped ej25) but still had plenty of rumble. They were quite happy with it. 
Just ordered one for myself.

Sorry I'm retarded. For some reason I was thinking I read HKS Hi power or Hyper, then I re-read and saw HKS Priest. If you have one of these - you need to bin that shit ASAP. The muffler inside reduces down to something like 2.5" - that's why it's quiet. The resonator on or off won't do much with that muffler if you've got the full cat back priest system as they run a mid muffler too.

Most off the shelf Jap / Jasma mufflers have huge restrictions stepping down inside them, with a lot reducing to under 75mm. I'm annoyed my HKS Hi power steps down from 95mm pipe in to 85mm inside. Even the Xforce stuff here is no better either. Our white 32 GTR has a 3.5" / 90mm pipe in Xforce muffler and guess what - it even steps down to a smaller 75mm. I'm not even gonna try and sell that - it's going in bin where most Jap mufflers belong.

Good mufflers absolutely should not do that if you want to make power.
