Calling All R34 Owners

[Yo-Yo]

Hi guys,

I've done a search of the forum & couldn't really find what I was after...

My R34 has a silencer that was fitted from the factory.

Can you still use it if you get an aftermarket exhaust system?

Is the actual silencer built into the muffler or connected to the exhaust piping?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys

you talking about the "soft" "loud" valve thingy? it is actually connected to a small section of the catback. If I remember corerctly. But you still can custom a pipe and fit an adaptor...that "soft" and "loud" thing is fancy but not too good.

The decible difference are not much, can't identify by listening..and also they tend to get stuck in one mode.. mine did that..and the motor keeps making this weird sound. I end up disconnecting..

Yeah, that's the one! It's got a button for it on the lower right side nest to the steering wheel.

I can hear the motor change the modes when idling so I guess it's working fine for now.

So you reckon it's better to ditch the silencer if I get an exhaust system?

Yeh I got one too cant tell the difference when its on soft or loud, maybe mine isnt connected on properly hance it was changed for the stock muffle during compliance.

To keep the silencer adaptor thingy on an aftermarket muffler means that you would have to somehow modify it which would be too much trouble, like sky34 said it is actually connected to a section of the stock muffler which restricts the flow of the exhaust.
