i know i saw it somewhere. i will sus it out and let you know. the only skyline i've heard that wouldn't be over the db rating would be my mates. it has a 3" jasma with the double muffler. it has a center resonater and the rear muffler is an oval muffler. it goes into the muffler as 1 pipe, then in the muffler it splits into 2 pipes then comes back out as one. basically like an overtaking line on a road but with a wall down the center.

mines pretty quiet...

Neighbours dont have to much of an issue with it :D

JustJap/Steve,

Can I get an idea of how many dB the full turbo back xforce exhaust is? Have you guys done any tests on ones you've installed??

Anyone actually - wondering whether it'd still be "legal" - 90dB (i believe) in NSW..

might go get one done on the weekend. father in law works at an exhaust shop. will do a test with silencer in and out. i have split dump, 3" front pipe and cat, 3.5" x-force cat back and muffler is 3" x-force cannon. still has center muffler. i know it is supposed to be legal but i really doubt it. my father in law's falcon has a standard 2.5" sports system with both mufflers and it is quieter than mine and his is on the limit. but the only way to properly test is to do it the ADR way. it is as follows-

cones are placed at a predetermined distance, with a vehicle being accelerated through them at full throttle in a certain gear (usually 3rd). the peak db reading from the meter (a predetermined distance away) is recorded. runs in both directions are done, and a radar gun is used to ensure entry speed is around 55kmh.

a stock xr6 turbo is 87db, and a stock xr6t with just the center muffler removed, but stock piping size only just comes under at 89db.

Cheers guys..

If anyone has the details on it that would be great.. anyone had an sound tests done..

if I get it replaced i'll keep my stock one in case of getting defected

ive heard justin911's car, and i doubt its legal...

mine on the other hand would be :D

Ok guys, I have come to a conclusion about the exhaust (after doing some really exhausting research! >_< ).

I have decided to stick with BATMBL r33 split dump/front pipe (s/steel) and the CATCO 3 inch large Cat - about $620. And for the Cat back I have decided to go with the APEX-I Bomber from BT-Revolution - about 750. (havent put the orders in yet though).

Total comes to about $1370 before fitting.

What do y'all think about this? Good combination?

i paid $400 for 3.5" cat back at mates rates. but that was still above cost by a bit. and that the price for the 3". ordered a 3" and got 3.5" at same price.

i have seen the x-force cat back systems on ebay for i think it was $599 for 3" and $699 for 3.5"........or it was $499 and $599....either way there was $100 difference.

im gettin my exhaust from exhaust technology in SA and they are freighting it up to me. (in western syd)

3" straight thru from turbo back with highflow cat (removable) with straight thru pipe to Apexi manual ECV to dual 3" tip.

turbo> 3" dump/front -> removable cat/race pipe->3" pipe ->Apexi ECV-> Dual 3" tip :D

think its $1400 to my door.. ill heatwrap it then install it myself in about 30 mins :D

stainless steal :ermm:

Edited by illusiVe

when x-force advertises that theyr exhausts are: "below 90db" or whatever the legal limit is... that is measured with the silencer on I'm pretty sure. It's over the limi without the silencer.

Still good value for money exhaust though! Thats what I'm getting.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
