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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
