I have a few questions about this exhaust that some of you that have one on an R33 might be able to answer...

I have one on my car and I must say, it hangs really low around the resonator. Does any one have this exhaust on an R33 that is lower from standard height?

Has anyone attempted to bend the rods that hold it up to make it sit higher?

Has anyone been defected with this exhaust? Although I dont find it very loud, I've read that the standard exhaust comes close to the limit, so surely (according to that stupid test used to determine this) someone must have been told it is too loud???

Thanks

Zahos

I actually read up on the specs on the HKS and it's actually one

of the biggest there are avaliable. I've seen them hang pretty

low. I think its due to the straightness of the pipe..

Noisewise, they can actually get pretty loud so i would assume it

would be over.... Well.. I know of only 1 that doesn't have a cat..

:P

Can't you stick in a resonator to quieten it abit?

I've got a HKS super dragger... It's not very loud at all. Apparently I've got two resignators in the system so it's pretty damned quiet compared to other skylines!

But I have noticed that right in the centre of the car both length and width ways there is on of the resignators hanging down and boy does it get a flogging. I'm suprised its still there.

*shrugs*

I don't know but as I complain about all the time, we are kinda slow. I don't know whether its because we *are* slow or the cars I line up against have had a lot more money spend on them..

I don't really have anything to compare it to so I can't say yes or no.

I have a Super drager and when I got it I was finding it a bit loud at lower revs. I took it to an exhaust place and they fitted an extra straight through muffler which made no difference to performance and made it sound much better.

It was a very tight squeeze though, they put it in just before the rear stabiliser arm (just b4 the diff.)

Sounds really good, no drone and a lot more comfortable to drive. Sounds good when opened up!

I had them cut it into the spot where the resonator (hot dog type) one is and then reuse this also by moving it between this new muffler and the existing super drager resonator. It was a straight thru 3 inch type and it cost $170 fitted.

I know some might say that the Super drager is 3 1/2 inch so why did I go 3 inch, well 3 inch is still plenty big enough for heaps of flow (if anything 3 1/2 is a bit much) and when I upgrade the rest of the exhaust (front and cat), I doubt I'll find a front pipe or cat which is bigger then 3 inch, so seeing as it will only flow as well as the smaller link in the system -

It makes no difference to power (compared to std super drager) but made it sounds heaps better.

ps. watch where they put it because it is very tight for space

pps. sort of similar to the 3 inch resonator/muffler listed on Unique Autosports site but a little bigger.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
