Hi all,

Tomorrow I'm getting a 3" turbo back exhaust system from Exotic Exhaust. My current system is stock and the new system will be a 3" split dump system (mild steel) with a stainless steel cannon tip.

I thought I'd share the differences it makes (sound wise):

Stock - Startup

Stock - Light Revving

Stock - Close to exhaust

Tomorrow I will post the 'after' sounds.

You'll notice a definite difference in power and in cabin noise. You can sort of hear it chuffing away when you get some revs on and it is generally louder inside the car but you get used to it.

Having a split dump is good for top end power. You will notice how much freeer the engine feels above 6k rpm.

Now, for the after sounds:

Modded - Startup

Modded - Light Revving

Modded - Close to exhaust

I'll post pics a bit later but if u can imagine a split dump pipe that joins after about 20cm then 3" mandrel bent mild steel through a hi-flow cat and into a huge cannon muffler (I didnt think it would be this big but it is).

I may change the cannon to something less conspicuous.

Splits make it sound angry don't they... where is Exotic Exhaust located and how much did u pay (pm if you wish). I'm hunting for a zorst in Brisbane also for GTT. Tossing between $2k for a CES system or other options. How droney is it in cabin if u get up it (h8 droney!)?

Exotic Exhaust is located in Sumner Park (Jijaws St). The service is pretty good and I spent $1250 all up. It took them about 5 hours but they were busy and I got squeezed in. If u want to meet up at some stage to have a listen, PM me or u can pretty much get me on MSN ([email protected]).

The car is quite loud/drowney in the cabin but apparently I'll get used to it (haven't driven it around much). There is a quiet spot between about 1800 and 2200rpm and then it gets loud and it goes quiet again after about 4500rpm. The performance difference is noticable though. At some stage tomorrow, I'll get pics of the dump and piping (u can see the top part in the engine bay).

Apparently the cannons are louder than say a SS twin tip, so that might help reduce the drone. Another option I'm thinking about is BATMBLS splits and hi flow cat with a Fujitsubo or similar cat back (bottom one in pic) can't see if thats got twin tips and not sure how droney vs restrictive that would be. Would work out about $1400 + labour, unless I can find a cheaper GQ Jap cat back.ex011.jpg

Well I should now mention that I got defected at the BP Yatala Super Servo on the way to BWCP. 98dB - the limit is 90dB. The car has a cat and a cannon so I guess I will need a resonator/muffler to quieten it down. Good news was that I didn't get a fine because the officer knew it was a brand new exhaust.

I also have to secure my air filter.

Yeah, thanks guys. The sound is awesome but I have been told by a few people that a silencer may not do the 8 or 9 decibels. In terms of the testing equipment, they use a microphone and a tripod and get u to rev. At idle, I was at 88dB and at 75% load (where they test it), it was 98dB. The testing method they show at this site is what they did: http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/us_spec/...swrx-hoe-r2.htm

I noticed in that testing procedure that there needs to be at least 3 meters of open space between any side (front, rear and both sides) of the vehicle and other objects. This is probably so that the sound meter doesnt pick up reverbing noise.

If a car (including the cops) is parked next to your car in the spot where they test your vehicle, take a photo of the test being conducted with a date stamp on the camera and your license plate as well and dispute the defect.

Makes me wonder how many times they actually follow the procedure correctly.....?

For example the standard for testing exhaust noise states: "Engine RPM must be held steady at 75% of rated peak horsepower RPM"

Wonder how many cops know the actual 'rated peak power rpm' of all the different import RB engine versions? Or do they just look at your redline and tell you to take it to 75% of that. I'm sure thats how they would actually do it.

An R34 GTT for example makes Max Power of 206kw @ 6,400 rpm 75% of which would mean that they should of tested it at no more than 4,800 rpm

If they don't know exactly when peak power is made they are likely to base it off the redline which is closer to 6,600-6,700 rpm . So at 75% thay might be ask you to rev it too just over 5,000 rpm.

Its all a matter of inches when your talking after market exhausts and db, just something everyone might want to remind the cops of when they are db testing your vehicle!

Yeah they did have the cop car parked along the left side but in front of the car. The walls of the carpark though may have contributed to resonance. The test area was the caravan section of BP Yatala and the closest wall was about 4m away. The 75% load was 4800rpm. The officer had a chart of engines and RPM's but based it on the R33 RB25DET so I guess mine should have been different. Tomorrow the muffler and resonator etc get installed and tested. I hope it doesn't drain too much of the performance...

I will post after after sounds....

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
