My 33 came with a Blitz 3inch cat-back exhaust from japan (with cannon).. When idling I rekon it sounds pretty quite/tame, but still very deep.. As you drive harder it gets noticably louder but..

Overall very well balanced cat-back system... Cost about $800 for cat-back or $1500 for full turbo-back system i hear...

I have a very similar sound clip of a blitz exhaust if u want it...

jagr33 (jack) im pretty sure has a twin 2.5" mufflers on his gtr which i think flow just as much as most other 3" or 3.5" systems but are no where near as loud, perhaps you could pm him and ask what model he has?

'quiet' for one person = 'loud' for another

what's my point? get a custom-made exhaust from a reputable exhaust shop and choose exactly how loud you want it

a $2000 brand-name piece of pipe doesn't automatically flow better than a similarly-shaped custom $600 jobbie... you can test a number of muddlers to find one you like if you don't want a cannon one.

but then again, some people just have to have the brand name...

I am yet to own a car (the count is 11 now I think) that has had a brand name exhaust.

All of mine were custom (at least cat back) and are always louder than others I've heard with jap systems.

that's why I asked the question.

hahaha, The liberty RS Turbo I had a few years back.. man that thing had such a deep and loud sound that it was unbearable at about 3200rpm.. it was a little quieter on either side of that rev range.

minimum 4 car alarms would go off in every car park.

the S14 is not that bad, but still loud.

come to think of it, my skyline before wasn't too loud and it was custom..

hmmm.

my exhaust system is a custom 3inch mandrel bent job from turbo back.. its generaly 'quiet' but dont know wat the **** alarm system it was the other day but i started up in an angle park on a side street and set off a car alarm :rofl: was rather funny but yer i havent been hassled about my exhaust by cops yet.. but yer its a plain straight thru system with just the rear cannon 4inch tip.. isnt to bad all up cost was around 1k for the whole system.. with split dump pipe all stainless.. all tig welded

I've got a custom aussy job.

It is a 3" from the turbo back, 3" highflow large cat, larger center resonator (this is the trick to a nice flowing quiet exhaust) and finally a large rear straight through muffler that only 'just' fits. The rear of the muffler is painted black and leaving the muffler is a single 3" s/steel tip. It doesn't attract any attention.

Nor does it have a 1kg milo tin sticker attached. hahah :D

The exhaust has a nice note, doesn't drone and cannot be heard when cruising next to it with the window up, with the window down you can only hear a slight growl.

D&T Performance in Adelaide (google) did the exhaust. One dissapointment with it is the lack of quality or care that went in to the dump pipe.

What do you mean by this? Did they damage something? I ask cause I got my catback done at D&T Performance, and was seriously thinking in getting them to do the full exhaust sometime.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
