quiet exhaust + power = no match

get a 3" or 3.5" and stick a resonator in the system

With the CA18, to get best results you need maximum flow.

Get one of those EVC or ECV or what ever they are called from Apex'i if you are worried about noise.

You also can't give flow figures because there are allot of variables involved, the cat converter for one, manifold, etc etc

if you want to keep it quiet, the style of muffler is as important as the overall diameter... I am no expert but I would think you would be better off with a 3" for that much power?

if it helps my car is about 200rwkw and I have a 3.5 inch exhaust... it is very quite as it has a centre muffler and rear muffler... both are traditional style mufflers, not cannons...

can't help with flow rates as I suck at maths

I would go a 3" with a large straight through intermediate muffler and a large straight through rear muffler.

A good quality muffler will flow extremely well. Its the cheap crap things that have lumps protruding in to the exhaust flow, or like some of the jap mufflers that taper down inside the muffler that cause issues with backpressure.

A decent intermediate muffler also prevents cabin drone. :D

twin medium ish muffler should flow a good amount with a 3" turbo back system and also shut it up a lot as each muffler isnt very big, i saw a gtr with a twin 3" muffler system that made stacks of power and was pretty quiet, i think it may have been gtreal back in its early days

OK Ill go 3".....

But to kill noise I need to order some mufflers from somewhere....in FRANCE no one stocks anything bigger than 2.5". I want non-cannon style centre muffler and rear mufflers that are nice and quite as mentioned in one of the posts above. Is there an Aussie internet buisiness that can do this? HPinabox only has cannon mufflers, VPW.com.au dont go to 3" and if so its eldebrock.....are these any good...quite frankly id rather have the cannon one from HPinabox cause they look better but cannon = louder right?

Thanks a lot GUYS

so what's the point of going the 3" if you are just going to be restricting it at the end with a 2.5"?

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
