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

Barret

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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
