A resonator won't affect power much at all really, so long as you get one in the same size as your exhaust (3" for example).

I just had a small straight through (very slight offset) 3" muffler (about 20cm or 8" long with a side expansion chamber) thrown on my R32 and I haven't noticed any power difference. It's massively quieter now, no drone and I can drive it harder now without the po-po looking out their office window everytime I gun it = more fun.

All for the good price of $130 including raising the centre section of my exhaust which hung low, and replacing some hangers/rubbers.

Theoretically a little bit, but neglible in your case. Resonators just change/shift the sound of your exhaust system (natural resonance due to size and shape of exhaust system) to another frequency. Some times much quieter, or sometimes making it sound like a hyundi excel with a 6" paint tin stuck on the back

      Is this saveable r32 gtr seat

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Yep that's a superb price and ther is no way you will over capitalise on you investment.  As to the bracket, again just use the passenger side seat  bracket ( obviously reversed ) as a sample to reshape it and in this case, TIG it back together.

      RB20 and 25 NEO differences

      I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)

      Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage

      Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.
