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

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
