ok i got a 2 1/2" zorst from engine

had an epa test yesterday and with standared muffler i got 88db out of the leagal 90db

now with the big bore attached (without resinator which is gonna be added tomorrow) i dunno what it would be, but try setting off 12 car alarms just by driving past at 20km/h or less, its one loud mf!

basically if u have a standared muffler but a big ass pipe like 2 1/2" it will be almost illegal, dunno how it would be for a 3" but im guessing it would go over

chuck a big bore and see what happens hahaha, sounds mad in the cabbin to, shakes everything

I have a big ass 'zorst - 3 1/4 off the tubo, 4" high flow cat and 3 1/2 cat back... its stinkin' loud, over the limit for sure and sets off alarms all the time at any rev range..

if i get busted by the epa, i'll take it off - maybe even consider selling the car, its too difficult to own a nice modded car these days.

Hmm, that's one thing im worried about when i get my car. Noise defects = 2 point penalty

P platers only get 6 points.. i don't want to lose my liscense from defects!

I'm going with 3" right through, and an apexi N1 muffler (or look-a-like) what's the go with those silencer things? i hear they are bad for your car, and i read somewhere they cause pinging (wtf?? is that possible?!)

I was thinking of making up a flap that sits inside the cat (the cat convetor minus its innards) which could be cable operated. If you need you car to be quiter, pull the cable, which will pull the flap down in the cat ,effectivly bouncing the sound waves back to the engine. haven't made one yet, but have seen one on a GTR with a full3.5 inch exhaust with no resonators and a straight through muffler and it made it REALLY quiet. Keep everyone posted

firstly, we all know that n/a are louder then turbo powered....

im n/a...

secondly, im in sydney atm.. and well we went through burwood westfeild car park, and set off about 8 alarms in the space of about 5minutes.. most of that time was finding cars worth putting alarms on...

over 2 days my car has set off 16 alarms, half in westfeild, the others along the streets of sydney..

my back muffler is actually a twin hot dog style.. and its loud.. i hope i dont get done..the guys at the exhuast joint said it should quiten down a bit after its been used a little tho.. coz they put on a 2 1/2 cat back...

i was also told by a guy who knows cars.. that if you take out the cat convertor, and put in another muffler, it will sound much bette,r give better performance and also better fuel economy.. looks like i might do that soon.. hahaha and none of you loody tree huggin hippies better try and stop me.

by the way if any of you guys see a gunmetal grey skyline nsw plate xxx-662, thats me.. ill be around summer hill, burwood, etc etc...

Not only is it illegal, but you could be up for thousands of dollars in emission fines. Why? something called polution. Polution laws came in the early 80's, and all cars after a certain date required a cataylic converter by law. If you want better performance, get a turbo.

its because of tree huggin hippes we need to have them, pffft i wont live long enough to see the difference, therefor its not my problem, and anyway by the time it makes a differece, they will have things to fix the problem without a cat convertor... ohwell.. we will see what happens, by the way, the alarm count so far is up to 31...

yo.

I wasn;t running a cat for a while... i have a big ass exhaust.

I got a 4" high flow put in and it has just quietened it - no performance loss at all. its not worth it for the risc of a hefty fine and destroying the environment.

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
