imo, what does 3m of 2.5" pipe have to do with it when in the end its just into the atmo,

i mean basically having say 4" full exhaust (just to make it plane obvious) thats basically the same as the air being dumped straight into the atmo.. i dont get how it could be easier to have air "sucked out" when it all ends up in the atmo in the end.

Just opening up the exhaust is not necessarily the answer. The extreme would be to remove the exhaust system altogether but, for those of you who have experienced it, if the exhaust breaks near the manifold, all power is lost.

For a normaly aspirated (non-turbo) engine in particular it is important to retain a certain amount of back pressure. The reasons for this are all to do with exhaust scavenging which is to do with negative pressure pulses reflected back up the exhaust manifold to remove the last of the exhaust waste from the engine.

Thats it there. cost about 450 for the muffler, and about 300 for the rest of the install. i do however have a feelin that i got a bit ripped off on the price of the muffler, but i didnt realli mind cuz the bloke rushed me thru and had it all installed in a couple of hours the following day.

The group buy has fallen thru i think. Not enough interest and communication problems with the supplier i think.

my car had an HKS dual dragger when it was imported, far too big and far too loud - absolutely useless, it was more suited to a GTR or GTST...

needed to change it for compliancing so I had a stock exhaust put in (still have it today) and the stock exhaust sounds absolutely CRAP, but it definately isnt quiet.

illusiVe - I've already posted a link to this site in this thread http://www.miata.net/garage/KnowYourCar/S4_Back.html Go and read it and learn all about scavenging

As for my muffler, I have a universal, large bodied, mild steel, 2.5" straight through muffler. Cost me $110 fitted and have proved (on the dyno) that it produces the same amount of power as my old TRUST muffler.

Have spent sometime reading throught this thread, as I have been thinking of changing my current exhaust, to a more straight through system. Currently I have jasma approved system with extractors (6,2,1), 2 1/2" stainless exhaust system with no cat and two very large mufflers (not the straight through sort). I was thinking of putting in a couple of resinators and a straight through type muffler, in the hope that it might improve the flow of exhaust gasses.

A friend sent me this article which I found quite an interesting read, looking into the importance of exhaust gas flow and looks into the back pressure thing too.

what size is the standard NA exhaust?

Mine was 2 1/4 inch from the factory i think. So basicalli you open it up 1/4 of an inch when movin to a 2.5 inch system. The onli thing that realli holds back your exhaust is the mechanical(?) muffler which is meant to baffle sound via redirecting exhaust fumes.

i think thats what the standard muffler is called. It just has the air looping back and forth thru a series of tunnels. if that makes any sense. where as a with a straight through muffler, its just a straight tunnel.

In a standard exhaust then the fumes are "baffled" through a "mechanical" eexhaust and this results in restrictions.

In a straight thru exhaust their is no restrictions to exhaust

nice ascii work [d4rks1d3] hehe.. ;)

check http://auto.howstuffworks.com/muffler3.htm ppl.. some go around in the fashion like d4rk mentioned, some go thru a more 'inline' series of sound absortion material/chambers etc, but the gist of it is the same.

I spoke to an exhaust shop (perf exhaust in ringood) about a muffler today. I told him how I want to go to a quieter (ive got a noisy rev-flow muffler on there now, and 3" pipe from bends to the muffler) one and he said a canon style (round) won't be the ideal one. He recommended an oval style one. Also quoted about 380 for a maganaflow oval one, but im not thinking only maganflow, but any good brand (post if you can recommend) which will quiet it down a bit, but not strangle it (and have _some_ noise when on the throttle).

Cheers :D

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
