Hi All,

Was going to post a seperate thread but I thought posting in this one would be appropriate!

It's time to get a new exhaust/muffler for my R33 RB25DE GTS4..

Currently it has a Genie tri-flow/reverse-flow ('turbo' style) muffler, 2 resonators and 2.5" mild steel piping for the straight section, then it steps up with a bolted flange to 3" at the bends (I got it off a mate who changed his muffler on his gtst, which was 3") trumpet style, haha. Muffler has a loose baffle now and sounds crap, and i'm sick of the drone. The ideal new setup would flow a bit more freely than the stock system (of course keeping sufficient back pressure), don't want to any drone at 100KM/H, however when on the pedal a little bit louder than stock would be good. But not something that will attract the police, etc.

So I'm after a new muffler/fitting. Can anyone recommend what mufflers are good for this job? are an exhaust shop in the city/surrounding suburbs area that can do it? Prices?

cheers,

chicane

Okay, just to clear up something fer me...

If I just want to give the car a slightly louder/gruntier sound than stock while idling and accelerating can I just buy a larger exhaust tip, or would I need to get a muffler aswell?

I just wanna get that deep growling sound :wassup:

one other thing, my car has a turbo (bone stock Gts25-t) if I do decide to go with a muffler aswell what is the optimum size piping for it?

dumb questions I know but keep in mind I know nothing about exhaust systems

Hey guys just letting you know i got my exhaust fixed the other day, and yes Eug you were right it was the resonator. They fitted a larger one and it has completely eliminated that annoying rasping note! Sounds mad now a really deep throaty note. So if anyone has that prob which i know a few of you do, change your resonator or put one in! :P

it's 2.75" piping. What do you guys reckon?

hey davor,

2.75" will be very droany on an NA

i personally wouldn't go over 2.5" (i can remember by old 3L NA supra that has 2.5" and itself was very droany when cruising - annoyed all my passengers)

i think the secret is to have as large a resonator as you can to keep the droan down but keep the flow and exhaust note

:D

miscommunication possibly?

by tip i mean muffler... not just ricey chrome metal wrapped around teh exhaust.

a mate has fitted his civic with a tip (muffler) whatever u want to call it. and it has changed the sound.

tip ie. the tip that sticks out.. muffler cannon... whatever

thats how everyone else have been referring it to in this thread.

if not my bad and i am confused and got no idea what ur on abt

:)

Misunderstanding of basic terminology on your behalf perhaps.. Never have i heard a 'tip' being the muffler.. :confused:

ok people this thread has gotten way off track - it seems that some backpressure is good with NA engines, and it seems that 2.5" diameter piping is ideal as well.. lets get some actual useful knowledge in this now!

What mufflers are a good choice? If you have got an NA skyline, and have an aftermarket exhaust, post up what muffler you have (its specs as well if possible) and what you think of it...

cheers :rofl:

i got a 2.5inch magna flow cat back. one resonator. 2.5inch inlet with twin 4inch tips. Looks the sh1t and sounds even better. Made a minor improvement in performance. CAI made a better difference. Cant wait til i get extractors but that aint gonna happen til a group buy takes off.

Please stop saying you need some back pressure on the exhaust of NA engines... As was mentioned earlier you don't need any back pressure, as this is just wasted energy, what you actually want is a small enough pipe to allow exhaust scanvenging.

This is where the momentum of the flow of exhaust gas in the exhaust effectively helps suck the gases out of the cylinders. This is of benefit at lower RPM where the volumetric efficiency of the engine is low.

Putting a bigger pipe will help peak power at higher RPM where volumetric effieciency is higher but at lower RPm you will loose out and have a less driveable engine. Again as has been said there is a big difference between a drivable engine that feels fast and strong and one which makes a higher number on a dyno.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
