Resinator Removal..good or bad?

Well coming from an audi with 2 1/4 inch piping and one straight through muffler and some big tips... with an awesome 5cyl "boxter/V8" burble.... 110db+ :D

to

a R32 with 3.5inch piping..HKS super dragger and some massive resinator half way down it is so quiet...

so im thinking of getting the resinator removed (like i did with the audi) so i can have the mad straight 6 sound....

Im not worried about coppers atm because i NEVER got pulled over in my audi (loud, dark tint and sitting on its ass)

Anyways im kinda worried about farking the turbo or something without enough back pressure.....

Would the removal of the resinator mess anything up or ruin anything?

The car puts out 120kw at the rears on stock boost with pod and exhaust... shall i expect a power gain or loss???

sorry for the long post but i just didnt want to get screwed around by workshops..

thanks

Yes you can remove it, It will make the car louder which creates more attention by the cops. You wont stuff you'r turbo if anything you'r helping it by give it better air flow though the exhaust and stopping back pressure which causes loss in hp.

hahaha i know...

already had snapneck from coppers.... lots of it......

its so funny though... eg...coppers drive past me pulling out of side street and cop passenger has snapneck looking at my car....

pull up at lights next to them... cop is looking at me and having llook at my car....

i look at officer..."good evening officer happy new year"... copper smiles and waves and drives off.... hahahahahaha

One more thing...

would it be better to get the straight through pipe clamped on or welded?

normally i had mine welded but clamped would be eaiser for ME to change if i got busted.... i dont know how it would hold up though?

thanks

I did exactly what you are thinking of doing and seriously, back to back dyno runs, i gained maybe 1 or 2rwkw but that could also come down to tempartures, better fuel, anything. I've actually got mine booked back in to have my centre resonator refitted tomorrow as I prefer it quiet. Saying that, 12psi+ boost and WOT and it howled like a banshee being burnt at the stake. Loved it :) but personally prefer to not have the extra attention.

Yeh i enjoyed being fast and quiet.

One thing to remember if your removing your resonator is to have a good muffler, otherwise it will sound really shit

I dont mind the noise so much, but ill be putting a new resonator on before selling the car in the future thats for sure :)

Just got my car back from exhaust shop putting my centre muffler back in. BEST MOVE EVER. I love it, it's so quiet, it makes no noise except the engine & turbo. All you can hear is the turbo spoolin followed by a "woosh" of the BOV. Love it :D :D :D

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
