Quiet Cat Back Systems For Under 98 Db Track Usage

Looking for advice on quiet (under 98 Db drive by at full throttle, on track, measured trackside) systems. I have tried a Trust / Greddy Power extreme II which made 102 Db, a doubling of the perceieved noise allowed, so no good at all, and nor is an HKS Hiper Silenced, with a similar noise level. It's the fairly large turbine size I am running, I guess, that's the issue. The exhuast that's on it is a bit ropey, and mild steel. No ID on it, obviously commercially made, but I have never seen one like it before, it came on the car as bought. I need to have a replacement for it soon, and on the new engine about to go in the turbine housing will be bigger, the capacity bigger, and a lot more cam and revs.... Do I need to make a custom system? Do you have noise issues in Oz? How do you meet them without killing too much power?

Thanks.

Holy crap...102db? I have an external gate and i dotn get pinged when at the track, i think they are checkign for 95dB???

What turbo setup are you running? ID be tempted to go twin system, with twin mufflers. You can pack it up nice and tight to the underside, you can the flow benefits of a 4" system and you can share the gasses accross two mufflers

..LOL well the theory sounds good on paper :)

If you wanna make it quiet, twin system is the way to go. All the gains... none of the noise

And its gonna be a custom job and pricey

All the big HP GTR's here in melb are doing it

Twin goes ok into the GTR floorpan aswell.

Not sure on the GTS-t layout, but it couldnt be any worse :)

Im doing the same aswell

I believe they mean from the cat two pipes run towards the rear of the car. So two pipes and two mufflers. I believe if its 2x 2.5" that equals to about one single 4" pipe?

I've considered doing this as well but can't imagine it being too cheap.

Since we're on the topic of exhaust (sorry to OP, don't mean to hijack) is a 3.5" fine for a GTT? Or should I just got 3"? I'm afraid 3.5" might be 'too' big?

siba33 - Twin... wether that be a single dump or twin dumps (single or twin turbo) and then have it twin all the way to the rear.

With a cross-over pipe somewhere along the line.

2 cats (smaller obviously) and then 2 or 4 mufflers somewhere along the system depending on whatever you choose with the exhaust shop etc.

No such thing as "too" big for a turbo car IMO.

You could always get it made out of titanium.

I have a Fujitsubo system. Not sure what it's called but I was at a shop once and there was a car there with it so I said I want that one and they got it for me.

My system is 3" from the turbo back (GTT) and is not restrictive. I have 255rwkw at only 0.9 bar of boost from a highflow turbo so I think that proves it's lack of restriction. 3.5" is just louder if you ask me but in terms of power you can't relly go wrong going bigger.

Anything that's 3.5" or over is a bastard to shut up. In my .sig I have an 100mm exhaust that flows, for sale, but I've

never measured it trackside on full noise. It's 95db @ 3500 no load, (with cats/resonator/muffler)...

On the back of a napkin:

2 x 3" exhausts (ok, 2.82") should flow as much as a single 4"

So if you could find a 3" exhaust configuration that was 95dB on full noise, 2 of them _should be_ 98dB.

Some things to think about:

* are most of your competitors within the 98dB limit? If not, how loud are they on full noise trackside?

* you'll probably only get pinged if you're noticeably louder than other cars in your class or your competitors complain.

* are other car noises (induction/tyre/gearbox/etc) included in the level? If not, how are they eliminated?

* if you're in with a bunch of other cars, there's no way they can measure just you :D

* if you're alone in front, button off past the measuring device

I've heard plenty of racecars that are louder than 98dB (this seems to happen a lot with rotors

and smaller-capacity engines). I've only ever seen one car get chucked off the starting grid

because it was too loud, but I've seen a few get pinged because competitors complained.

There are a few genuine competitors on this forum, might be worth

PMing them for their experiences as threads can sometimes get lost in the noise...

I'd probably try building a twin 3" system, then add muffling till the competitors stop complaining.

Regards,

Saliya

      They need to get a grip. R32 GTRs got as low as AU$8-10K at one point here.

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
