I have a fujitsubo 3inch cat back and it sounds good.But all other skylines i hear sound angrier and throatier,not to mention louder. Why is this? Will a dump/front pipe make my car sound better? Im after the cool RB sound that is unmistakable. Anyone got any suggestions?

CHEERS

i got the same fujitsubo cat back sounds ok and not to loud.i dont want to much attention.

Yeh its good.But id like it to be a bit more throatier.

Do you have a cat?

Ans:

NO: Then probably make no differance

YES, but std:This will be drastically restricting flow, thus will be suffocating engine and robbing you of power.

I myself use a legal hi-flow cat.

My car gets very angry in traffic and yells its head off when it finally breaks free.

I like the noise but the resinating in the car sometimes gives me a head-ache.... ;)

If you want load and angry.....straight through custom 3" pipe and hot dog with no silencer.

If this is too load get a 3"resinator put on like me.

;)

Mine was just a split dump, cat then straight through to cannon.

I had to have a resonator added , the drone in the cabin was just far too unbearable. When you hit the right rpm the whole cabin would just vibrate.

No not yet but wouldnt that make it quieter?

In all probability, no.

Most mufflers work by slowing down the exhaust gas. Taking energy out of the exhaust stream reduces the noise it generates when it exits. I'm sure you've noticed that most aftermarket exhausts that are less restrictive also tend to be louder than stock.

If the cat is less restrictive to flow, its also muffling less.

I had a JASMA certified Fujitsubo cat back with centre muffler/resonator and final oval muffler with standard dump/front/cat and it was also noticably quiet when putting arond but had a deep clean note when opened up. Anything but a bark. You'll notice a lot of the cars you see with a "bark" are NA.

Dont know about other aftermarket Jap systems but what I noticed with my Fujitsubo system was that it was extremely heavy due to the fact that it was extremely thick steel, which I think helped quiet it down. I reckon it would of been 3mm thick, if not more easily as it had a decent chunk taken out in one part at least 2mm deep and it had not made close to a hole.

    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
