I was pulled over tonight and luckily that I'm a good bloke.. I was nice to the coppa and he was nice back!!

Pulled my bonnet up and he saw a number of things he could d!ck me on.. but i played stupid and got off on most of it, although he warned me about my exhaust being to loud, and me being on that 12month probation thing :thumbsup: I dont want to attract more cops..

So what can I do about shooshing the exhaust but without loosing power?

At the moment I have a 3" dump/front pipe bolted onto a super hi-flow cat, bolted onto the standard 3" cat-back with a 3" muffler 4"(tip).

I was thinking about putting one of those silencer plate thingy's in the muffler tip, but I don't know if that ill stuff the flow of my zorst and loose power.. anyone?

Fit a second muffler after the cat if you want it reaaal quiet.

Fit a resonator after the cat if you want it quieter (that's what I did..).. it's still loud.

Then if it's too loud get a muffler that's known to be quiet. Mine's too loud with the resonator installed and the cannon, so I'm going to try to replace it with a super dragger cannon (known to be quiet) or a kakimoto (nice sound and not a cannon).

Good luck.

you're lucky. I got defected tonight in sydney (about 30 friggin cops setting up defect stations all through inner syd). I own fairly stock skyline, hks pod, strut and kakimoto exhaust about only mods. They got me on pod filter & a busted high beam (which must have happened in the last 2 days as i checked it on wed!!!!) sigh.

I was nice too but they were a bunch of knobs!!

ps i'm aussie too!!!!

Wouldn't that be bad? Is it like sticking a potato in the end of your exhaust?

It'll quiten it down but does it still let the gases flow through?

Plus if you actually see cops and who has the time to flick a switch, I'm just thinking of excuses to get out of sh!t.. :P

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
