Exhaust Question

[albi]

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

u should go 3 inch get 2 mufflers with largest body posible like a oval type... that way it wont be so loud......if loudness concerns ya......

i had a 3" with 2 oval muffles on it and it was pretty quiet, i got the middle one cut out and replaced with a resonator cause it was tooooo quiet for me anyway.

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.

the just jap syetem is just a resonator and a cannon right? thats what i had on my car when i bought it and i found it heaps too lound, you couldnt hear ppl talkin in the back seat. after driving it for anything more than 30min my ears felt like i had just been at a rave or something.
