Eug, my car has the twin-cam raspyness you speak of, it's not very loud or noticeable, but I can tell it's there.

Scott, so did everything line up ok? hangers, etc?

What was the part no. again please?

would be keen to see if this system gets rid of the raspy'ness...

i dont mind the sound under full throttle, as it has the typical M3 type scream - however giving it 20% throttle as it reaches that *point* just makes the car sound sick as a dog.

Now I've put a couple of km's on the car the exhaust note has changed quite a bit ! I don't actually know how to describe it.

Reggi, you might want to hold off until I can get a sound file for you.

With that said, I'm in love with the sound ! , but it may not be loud enough for those that want more attention.

Seat of the pants, well I never expected a miracle so I'm not dissappionted. You know there's a smidge more power & torque there, but it's not enough to change your heart beat. :) What you "can" instantly feel is the engine's ability to breathe !! Hard to explain but you know you've done a good thing removing the restrictive system >_<

I'll wait for that sound file Scott.

Also I got a reply back from Nengun this morning re: why they've discontinued listing the Fujitsubo exhuast for ER34

Hi Reggie,

Thanks for your enquiry, unfortuantely this exhaust is too long to ship using our standard shipping methods so we are not able to offer this product for sale. Apologies for any inconvenience and for the delayed response.

Thanks

It's almost as though they're shipping the cat-back as one piece. Pretty weak I think.

Lucky I didn't go ahead and buy one, I would've been $960-odd out of pocket with no exhaust.

Will be contacting Greenline now to see if they can help me out.

I haven't forgotten the sound file but just not got the chance yet. Will do it soon ( will only be a stationary rev & idle for now tho ).

I'm going out on a limb here but, and I'm going to say that this system is too quiet for you guys. At it's best it sounds like an stock M3. It's great for stealth but if you wanna get some looks the sound ain't gonna do it for you. For you guys who want some noise, you should prol wait until Kakimoto release the "Regu" for the N/A 4 doors ( ask Steve @ Just Jap when these will be available ).

Oh and there's one downside to Stainless Steel systems, the retain heaps more heat than mild steel. Went under the car for 2 secs the other day to check all was OK. Reached up to give the rubber hanger's a wiggle and arm touched rear muffler. Instant **SIZZLE** ;)

EDIT.

Keep in mind when you're listening to it that the car's in the garage so it sounds a bit louder than on the street. I had some tunes playing at the time at a pretty low vol so that should give some perspective.

Here's the file reduced ( to 400KB :P )

hmmm, a sound file out in the street would be better, I think, as the exhaust note is bouncing off the walls in the garage.

As it sounds there, it doesn't sound anything like I thought it would. Thanks Scott.

I'll get onto it soon but yeah, the sound is like nothing else I've ever heard. And the strange thing is that the sound changes depending on the exhaust temperature. From cold, to cool operating temp, to heat soaked, to really hot, it sounds a bit different at each stage. :P Even still, I like it :worship:

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
