I recently sold a Blitz Nur Spec cat back which sounded great! it just had a res and rear cannon with silencer.... super quiet on the freeway...

I now have an Apexi N1 which as a mid muffler and a rear cannon, it has a deeper note with more drone on the freeway but i dont have the silencer installed...

Hope that helped..

Did alot of exhaust work on first turbo car as it had issues. Two things, DUMP and Muffler. Both of those were changed by themselves on seperate occasions with no other changes and they make MASSIVE differences to change in sound.

If you just want sound, just change the muffler.

Front pipe and dump made my exhaust more "deeper" in tone and I suppose you could say its more louder when giving it a hit too.

That said its all personal preferance man. I've heard that the Kakimotos are extra quiet, and having a 5-Zigen myself they are known to be loud. My 5-Zigen Rocket one isn't too loud to be annoying (it's actually quiet from inside the cabin) and is loud enough to sound sweet from the outside and when I give it a hit.

I can't remember what catback my brother had on his R33 but it was the best sounding turbo car I've ever heard. So freaking growly and mean. I'll try to find out for you.

LOL to nismo33's avatar pic,

um yeh as every one has been saying, the main thing is the muffler(s), change or remove some..... i have a trust exhaust system and its not that loud, but now that i removed the resonator, and changed the dump its heaps louder.

You are never going to get a definite answer. Everybody has different opinions on a good exhaust note: witness the huge droney exhausts some people install (and as you can probably guess, I prefer something less attention seeking). Moreover, other modifications can have an impact on exhaust sound so two cars with the same exhaust but different modifications will likely sound different.

I have fiddled around with exhausts on a number of cars and it all depends on the level of muff........

My GTR had a Nismo exhaust - it was incredibly quiet, changed the muffler to a steel Luki sports muffler and it was slightly louder, ended up changing that for a straight through RPS muffler with three inch bore - now sounds beautiful.

You can get a mild steel three inch exhaust made up with a resonator in the tranny tunnel and a straight through muffler on the back for modest money - this should sound right nice!

how long is a piece of string?

my opinion is that my exhaust combo sounds best :)

i think the best option is a free-flowing exhaust with a massive resonator. this keeps the deep sound but removes the drone

everyone is going to have their own opinion here, and every exhaust sounds different on different cars

the blitz nur spec r's are good the drone a bit off boost around 2 - 2.5 rpm which isnt so bad in my 32 because it sits arond 3grand on 100 area very free flowing too. very small resignator worth the cash you pay for it.

HKS super drager sounds great not to quiet not to loud either. The note got deeper and quieter at low revs when I fitted my dump and hi-flo cat.

cheers

A lot of people seem to like the Super Dragers. I've always been a little sceptical of their design given the HKS pipework has some fairly large bends in it (atleast for the R32). I would personally opt for a more straightfoward "N1" style pipework.

I also got the HKS Super dragger muffler with custom 3.5" cat back piping & it was originally fairly quite. But, as soon as I replaced the generic hi-flow cat with the higher flowing barrell type cat it now has a lot deeper & agressive tone.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
