thankyou.

Akeenan, i know this is kinda off the subject, but have a R33 GTS-T and just ordered a Trust Power Extreme II turbo back with a 3.7" pipe... it comes with a baffle that sits in the back box, but now i'm worried that it will be EXTREMELY loud... i live in a high residential area with lots of old folk who may become scared... is that what you had? Any baffle? :eek:

Oh dear. The EPA and the elderly are certainly going to be unhappy. Is it unbearably loud? why did you take it off your car? You had a cat back didn't you?

I've ordered a turbo back, with cat replacement pipe (yeah yeah i know i shouldn't :uh-huh: ).... this will surely only be louder?

my car got complianced with that left on it...i wanted it left on so the place i got it done at just said ok....they knew it was illegal, but they didnt seem to care....

anyhow i got busted with it about 1 month later so we took it back to the joint and they replaced it for free with something legal....ive got no idea what it is all i know is that it is only 81db now and its got a 3 inch from the cat and a 3 inch tip...its all stainless steel. They said that my current exhaust is 100 times better than the other one but I would trade anyday!! however I would only get busted again...:mad:

and the dudes kept it and that was the last i saw of it

  • 3 weeks later...

So i've just got my exhaust... only the cat back section at the moment; the front pipe is on its way.

It is a 4" TRUST Power Evolution, basically straight through all the way (there is a pic on the last page i think). It is loud. Witout the baffle i couldn't drive around; it was so bloody noisy. Has an awesome note though; without the baffle sounded like a racer.

With the baffle in (after 1 day) it is not too bad, but will still be a fair bit above the legal limit i'd guess... Akeenan, must be the same one you had. Posted some pics too

I received an EPA notice in the mail back in October for excessive noise.

Someone else was driving my car when they passed a copy car who had pulled someone else over. My car pulled into a driveway a couple houses down as this was his destination.

2 weeks later, I received the notice and had 30 days to have the car tested for sound. Somehow, my car had to come in at less than 90db at 4200rpm.....

How did a car like mine pass I hear you ask??? It's a long story but let me tell you that a dead stock R33 GTR including exhaust reads at 89.2 db and not all Midnight purple R33 GTRs are the same as mine :P

Oh and BTW, they don't give you certificates with smiley faces and passes to stick to your boot anymore. I don't even know where I put my copy of the statement which I sent to the EPA.

Turtle, it is a bit low, but i have no problems on speed bumps so far coz my car is stock ride / stock wheels.

Leewah, hopefully i won't have to visit the EPA with the baffle in, but if i do i'd better find a friend with a silver series 1 GTS-t :P

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
