Hey guys

I have currently

a 3 1/4inch exhaust with highflow 3 inch cat

CES racing split dump to cat

and a hyper medallion muffler

i went down the quarter as some of you might be aware of

and, i could not hear my car at all, and was relyin on the feel of the

engine when to change .

couple of my shifts were a bit late and lost time .

i was wonderin what would be the best option to get a louder and nice note on my exhaust.

i dont want it heaps loud, so ya can hear me from 5k away .

i have heard most skylines around and they have a nice tough soundin exhaust.

Any help or ideas would be much appeciated.

And would still like to keep it legal, or close too it .

THanks

I have a 3" turbo back (with split dump) and high flow cat with cannon that got me a defect at 98dB. It was very drowny but could hear it all the time. After the hi flow resonator, it was still loud but not drowny in the cabin and then with the silencer, the car runs and sounds like stock (but its removable)

I can send ya mp3's of the car's sound. I'd say the tone is made by the cannon.

I've founded out in cars that I own, not to use SS as it produce more noise in the higher frequency range, and titanium exhaust goes higher. So just the plain old mild steel produces a decent exhaust note with out the associated reverberations of thin metals. I'm currently running a 3.5 to 4 inch exhaust, yes, it weird but It isn't that loud until I really guns it, and then you can point me out from 2 suburbs away, but the things is at idle it's really quiet.

where do ya get the noise testing done.....so is it better to go a stainless steal one or another metal for in the dump pipes??

i want the performance and sound same as bazr33

Give it shit past the cops, i'm sure they will be more then happy to sound test your exhaust, dogs. :P

Why would you floor it past cops, thats asking for trouble in any car, its as if saying im a wanker, please pull me over. Just drive normally, withing the limits, as you should be doing.

anyways, does your exhaust have a flange for just the muffler? jump under the car and have a look, if it does, unbolt it. take it off, and start the carup, see what sort of noise it makes then go from there.

My r33 is a bit loud, not heaps tho, i have a 3" cat back, and from the resonator it goes into 4" pipe inthe the muffler out into a 6" tip, godamn !!!! lol. Its how i bought the car, and sounds nice, i know a dump and hiflow cat will change the sound very little.

But try unbolting ur muffler :blink:

If you are trying to get a louder exhaust to know when to change gears on the drag strip, I think you are barking up the wrong tree.

It is a bit hard with the helmet on, but if you keep a steady on the tacho it shouldn't be too hard. At worst, lash out and buy a shift light.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
