I'd definitely look at getting more than just the rear muffler. It's fine for when you're accelerating or slowing down, but when you're driving at constant throttle (such as on the freeway or cruising around town), the extra size and shape of the wagon body does make it too loud.

I love the way my car sounds when I'm giving it a good rev (and have had nothing but positive comments from everyone I know), but when you're just chilling out it's really tiring to hear that drone. I'm going to have a good look at my exhaust soon (I've never really taken a good look at how it's comprised), and am going to get another silencer on to kill the droning...

Still in the process of putting a good but not too expensive sound system together, which should releive some of the noise issue.

Has any one seen, or heard one of these in action? Not sure how effective they would be, just block the exhaust off to various degrees to muffle it...

There was one installed on a Stagea I had inspected at auction, had GTR IC and a few too many other mods that scared me off though!

This Link might be a little easier for you to read

ok let me get this clear....

resonator, silencer, muffler... differences?

cos i was thinking this - turbo, dump pipe, cat, resonator, split pipe, twin mufflers (cannons).

i have NO idea.

and good to see that bar painted andy, looks sweet. goddam no roofracks...

Exhausts are not as easy as "add this and this"

Resonators are just that, tubes that cut down the volume of certain resonant frequencies (lets refer to them as certain RPM)

Mid mufflers and rear mufflers are mufflers (hence, muffle) the sound.

You need to be very careful when choosing a reso as you need to choose one to cut down specific RPM. Id try to get one for ~2200-2700 and ~3000-3500 as i found when I had my xforce system that they were the most droney places.

The wagon is a bitch, being a single cabin you hear EVERYTHING the exhaust does and also amplifies the sound.

The route that I would take these days (after experiance with 3 different exhausts) is either

- (The louder exhaust) Split dump/front, one of the metal cats, mid muffler, resonator, twin straight pipe tips (no rear muffler)

- (The more quite exhaust) Split dump/front, one of the metal cats, mid muffler, magna flow rear muffler

- (The ultimate exhaust) Split dump/front then straight pipe to the end of the car, twin 2.5inch tips (I love twins)

You can also have twin resonators installed as mentioned above.

PS - When i first bought my fuji exhaust, it sounded good on idle. Now it has a popping noise (not like a back fire, more "dry fart" like) and i suspect its from me possibly melting the glass packing inside the muffler..........anyone know if this is fixable at all?

goddammit you guys... i thought this was going to be the EASY part... ok then. might go the top option, as id say that may be the best option for having it split into two at the back, one to each side. if im not thrilled with the amount of noise, i can still put a rear muffler on each?

tough luck on the easy part buddy. took me weeks to understand the terms these guys use.

Anyway always go for the bigger size exhaust just in case if next time you would want to power up your car next time.

im thinking a cannon either side, or split pipes either side like that. like the VIP celsior, or soarer look. with a mid muffler and a resonator for around 3-3500, and maybe one for 2-300. sound right? too much?

I like twin-tips too, whether it's the twin angle cuts like Alex has posted, or one on each side. Two cannons (in either of these configurations) would look nice on a Stagea, I reckon.

well twin pipes looks better with the body works that the stageas. it looks more need i suppose.

a big 115mm pipe looks macho but it looked a bit out of place like ans ass hanging out of a tight skirt

    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
    • Hi. Which coilpacks can i use in my engine? I looked at the Splitfire but the closest "match" i found was SP-DIS-008 but even that they do not show RB20DE NEO so iam not 100% sure. Or maybe different one which will 100% work? I saw many on ebay but they are some cheap "strange" ones. What about Yellow Jackets? Many thanks 🙂
