Hey guys i have a rb27 with 550rwhp and its very very loud with the single 3.5' cannon muffler i have on it at the moment, im after a super quiet sound without restricting flow as much as possible, i know its a hard combination but im willing to sacrifice abit of power to please the local residents and police ;) im going to remove the current cannon and use 2 oval mufflers.

im lookin specifically at the magnaflow race series range and fitting 2 of the 8"x5" oval s/s mufflers with single 4" inlet and 4" outlet, im just worried they wont quieten the noise enough.

heres the link to the ones im talking about...

http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/02race.asp (Part #14153 is the one)

anyone know any other places or brands that have decent mufflers in 4" in and out?

the race series are $116us each

any info appreciated

Just get em made if you need something custom or to do a certain job.

There is no reason an exhaust correctly designed will rob you of any power.

I dare say thats what gonna have to happen with my car.

Everything else is custom made so i cant see it being any different for the rest, so it can be done... comes down to price.

And with your setup, cost definately shouldnt be an issue :D

I highly recommed speaking to Hitech mufflers. Australian made custom performance mufflers.

www.hitechmufflers.com.au

I recently change to a 3"hitech and its quiet at idle yet doesnt lose power up top

Also the car doesnt drone as it used to with the old exhaust between 2000-3000rpm

going to muffle that external gate too brad? :happy:

sounded (and smoked :wub:) like a dirty rotary on that cruise!

when are you looking at buying?

ive got a 4" in/4.5" out cannon on mine, but i want to go to a twin tip exhaust, so the dif back part is going.

i run (2) of the 6" diameter round 4" inlet/outlet mufflers on my personal car (RB26 w/ gt42R single turbo). it is quiet and sounds phenomenal.

if you want pics let me know ill post them up

I'd be interested to see them Geoff. Out of interest, which length mufflers did you use and have you had your car noise tested at all ?

I know this is a bit left feild, but in the past i used a truck muffler.

Now before u get all bent out of shape about it.. Donaldson truck stuff is VERY good. If you can track down a catalog, they go into great detail about their stuff. Noise surpression, flow rates, HP figures and all!

I used a 3.5 inch muffler under the back of an old project, and it was the best thing i bought for it! no drone, quiet but a very deep sound. I'm not sure if they make a low profile type, but its worth looking at..

I have not seen ANY other muffler makers do that much detail about their products!

check it out! ohh, most of their range go from 2.5inch to 6 inch!

I'd import a Jasma certified (or not) 5Zigen muffler. Go to 5Zigen's website and contact them they will tell you wat is perfect muffler for your car. I have a 5Zigen Border system and It's quiet when off boost and cruising and only loud when you put your foot down. And then you see other wankers around with crappy cannons and they make drone 24/7.

thanks for all the advice guys im going to give 2 of the magnaflow oval race series mufflers a go as i hate the cannon style ones on the rear and ill be painting mine black for the stealth look. hopefully it shuts it up alot, i found for 2 x magnaflow race series 4' in and out are $513 for the lot delivered from the US so not too bad considering a shop in Perth wanted $500 for one :)

mitchy im not after the cannon look as i said but i will check out yours if u come over on the weekend and see if its alright or not.

cheers

Hey mate, how did you go with the magnaflow mufflers on your exhaust? Interested in doing similar.

Shaun.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
