Is 3" cat back big enough for 240-250rwkw?

I hae a 3.5" SS Kakimoto catback but now with the highflow a little noisier and around 2-2500rpm if loaded a little up a hill it gets a little droney.

Was thinking 3" mild steel might be quieter. It has 2 mufflers on it.

When I first got my car was told it was 3" from the cat back into a jasma muffler and compliance cat and it was a tad loud but not booming loud. Sounded just right.

Last weekend I installed JJR split front/dump pipe and Xforce high flow cat and also noticed my exhaust is 3.5" from the cat back into some kinda resonator then into the jasma muffler and now its sounds good. Not loud at all and not quite. Id prob be a lil under the DB limit and I love it.

I have the exact same system as you and I can tell you that its way over the db limit. I got epa'd for it and had to fit a standard system for the test, which still came in at 90.4 db for a 90 db limit. The standard system was a lot quieter than the one you have.

Anyone know if a silencer will get rid of a bit of drone.

My kakimoto 3.5" is a little droney when you back off or go up a hill pulling 2500rpm.

Thinking of making a silencer to add for longer drives. Will this reduce the drone at all?

It has got a little louder since the hi flow turbo.

It has a big centre muffler..and rear

I'm running the same exhaust on the R32 gts-t. It is indeed very quiet and full stainless steel. The exhaust is 3.5".

For what it's worth I run an HKS Silent Hi-Power system and was very surprised at how quiet it was. The 'Silent' in the name isn't just a marketing ploy. It seems they are rated at 98dB but I would be very surprised if it's louder than 90dB.

This is on a GTT with HKS dump and Front pipes as well... x-force cat. It sounds wicked as hell when you open it up. Surprised no one else is running this system.

    • Gotcha, I mean that is at least good to hear. Are there signs, or troubleshooting tips to make sure the transmission is operating properly?
    • Well thats probably not gonna happen right away. LOL
    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
