Exhaust Question

Hello everyone,

My skyline is an auto, and I was recently told be an exhaust specialist that if I changed to a 3 inch system the 'drone' of the exhaust would be huge issue.

He's indicated that I should only consider a 2.5 inch cat back system with a full sports muffler (not cannon) and a hotdog in between.

I'm wondering if I could have some advice about 'exhaust drone'. Because it's an auto and I do a lost of driving, I'm keen to hear from others about what type of exhaust would be recommended - perhaps from other auto skyline owners.

Thanks

I got the 3.5 inch in my auto R33... love it.. the noise hits you at the start but then you get used to it within a week, tops two.

Actually it isint that loud at all. Its only droney if you drive around slowly, above 80 KM+ on the freeway, its quiet as a bee! A mate who has a manual R34 says his car is way louder than mine.

Go for it, get the full 3.5 system done... go turbo back, you will love the difference.

I recommend JJR exhaust for 900 bucks with split dump pipe.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
