Hi flow cat - Power

Mandrel bent - Power

a good cat back - Power

Muffler - +10 on wanker scale and louder..

and yes.. mufflers are included on cat backs..

Personally.. go the second of your options.. i.e. Hi flow cat (may now have MASSIVE benefits on a low power NA car).. mandrel bent 2.5" and a muffler.. this it would suite your wants best

dont know much about Xforce products.. or their quality..

Best to do research.. Save and get good quality (like coby) headers.. a full manderl bent 2.25 - 2.5" exhaust.. cat.. and muffler..

  • 1 year later...

didn't want to start another new thread on a worn out topic so i thought i'd re-use this one

i've just had a new intake and full exhaust put on my car. picked it up this morning from my mate after i've come back from a weeks holiday.

driving the car home 20mins has left my head feeling numb and ears ringing from the loudness and the drone.

the full exhaust comprising of HPC Coby's, high flow cat, custom mandrel SS 2.5" exhaust, oval muffler with twin tips for factory look. I'm seriously regretting it at the moment and want my factory exhaust back on.

it's been suggested to me to put an oval resonator in but i'm not sure if that alone will be enough to quieten the noise and remove the drone. i'm also thinking a new muffler as well.

so i seeking some help from those who have actually had this dilemma and what did you do to fix it?

Reggie.

Ive got a 2.5" catback mandrel bent exhaust custom made.

cant even hear it on idle, but it begins to roar after 3000rpm.

i LOVE it because people are astounded about the difference between how quiet it is during idle, and how nice the grunt is at high rpm.

going to get a new high flow cat soon...not sure If i want to buy Xforce though...

Reggie ive got a resonator on mine, works a treat.

p.s. mine droned quite a bit for a few weeks....so give it sometime and see if it quietens down after a while...

When I was talking to one of the guys at Rob Bliss Exhaust a few months back, he said that oval barrel twin tip on an N/A will drone and they haven't been able to get rid of that drone. Seems like it's a characteristic of that muffler.

I was thinking of going for the twin tip factory look as well when I end up doing my exhaust, but the noise I guess will offset that factory like side of it. You could always get a factory twin tip of a GTR, that should flow plenty for an N/A and keep things quieter.

when i first put the 2" system on the SSS i only had a lukey muffler on the rear and it was noisey as hell but sounded great. the guys fitting it got me to take it for a spin round the block to see if i wanted to quiten it down. i took it for a spin, and as much as i liked the sound i knew that mr policeman would bend me over and insert his nightstick into a certain orrifice if i left it that loud, and also on trips it would piss me off, so we put eith a 12 or 14" resonator (hotdog style) in the centre and it made it much better. although it did lose a bit of bark.

so a resonator alone won't be enough to tone down my exhaust volume and drone?

i.e. get it under the legal db level?

i found a hot dog keeps it down nuff long as ya aint got a cannon on the back lol, though it does drone quiet abit but tis bearable :P... mild steel defo ova stainless tho!!! hahaha less ya want it 2 sound like a tin can

    • Welcome Gabriel, and thanks for saving one of the less famous cousins!
    • Wanting to avoid this if possible but kinda looking like I may not have a choice 😭
    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
