Ok, so I had a non turbo R33 and did the engine conversion and my car is now a turbo one. It used to sound sweet as. I expected a little of the exhaust loudness to dissapear when a turbo was put on but this took away heaps of the sound I loved...

I spend a bit on it too because it is Apexi stuff.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to make it louder again?!

large diametre exhaust, 3 or 3.5" system incl dump, hiflow cat and either no centre muffler or hot dog style resonator and should be quite louuuud.

I went and saw a place today and they quoted me $150 to get new piping and take one of the mufflers out. U rekon 3 or 3 1/2 inch is better? If I'm going to do it then I only want to have to do it once and want it to sound sweet again...

fully tabully mate!!!

nah honestly i get so sick of loud exhausts. my old swift was 112dB at 3500rpm (used to rev to 9000rpm btw). if u want sound then get the 3.5 turbo back with a canon but yeh more sound doesn't nessary mean more performance. I didn't notice any difference in sound from going to a turboback from a stock exhaust with a larger muffler. still sounded the same but yeh mines only 3".

I think I'll go with the 3.5" then. I wouldn't normally have wanted to change it but I just got so used to the one it used to have I'd like it back (won't sound the same I know) - but at least something similar!

Thanks for your help

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.

      I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine

      Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me

      Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
