wat bout adjustable silencers? they legal?

silencers have to be welded in. you can buy adjustable ones which can be controlled from inside the cabin and the valve opens and closes hence less/ more noise but you can still get caught and you will still have to change it.

i personally think silencers welded into an exhaust pipe look gay and defeat the purpose of having an aftermarket exhaust in the first place.

ronin09 dont weld one into your exhaust pipe!

maybe look at getting something welded into the exhaust eg another muffler or maybe about 20 resinators ;) maybe we could swap exhausts :D no no swap rear mufflers :) then you wouldnt get any hassels! :)

yes, as akeenan is saying.. any form of "artifical restrictor" is illegal. The test place was telling me all about that. Bullshit but true.

I believe the "restrictor" rule is to precisely stop what we are suggesting, and that is have it silent one minute, noisy the next. Imagine how much trouble you could get up to with that..

I have the bolt in silencer, but it lives in the cavity next to the jack. The thing with having the silencer in all the time is you're less likely to attract attention whilst just cruising along; and thus less likely to get sent a notice.

Akeenan, i am SO not welding nothin in my exhaust!!! I have however heard a good trick if you want to quieten up an exhaust for either EPA test or EPA @ Macloud -

Get a piece of 3mm aluminium (offcuts from Capral are perfect, all of about 2 bucks), cut it to the exact size of the flange that joins the cat to the rear section of your exhaust. Drill the holes accordingly, and drill about 3 - 4 1cm diameter holes in the plate, then simply bolt in between the cat and the cat back section. When done, remove. Simple. No welding or cutting, no need to buy an additional muffler... But alas, V-bands mean i can't do this ;)

Oh yeah, i have a complete STOCK exhaust if anyone ever needs it - i am so not putting it on for the noise test though, we'll have to "sort something else out" :wave:

hehe welcome to the club ronin.

just chuck your stock exhaust on and take it for the test at the epa station, that way when the epa pases u even if a cop reports u they have to provide evidence not just say they estimate it to loud or some other BS before the epa will call u back.

they have to provide evidence not just say they estimate it to loud

believe you me haha.. you dont have to estimate you know straight away that these systems will be above way above the 90db. these make inarks girlfriends exhaust noise look pathetic. and her car is loud :)

I have a friend who just received an EPA notice as well,

He has a GTS-T Mspec (great car). We have both tried to find an exhaust place who will make a silencer, but so far they all say its too hard !! I was thinking of getting one for my car too, save me chasing one in the future.

Does anybody know an exhaust place that has made one or is at least willing to try ??

Klokan: Is it a noise EPA or full EPA at McLeod?

Canadian GTR: slack asses who don't know their stuff.. get them to either replace the resonator or put a silencer in.. daaler exhausts - 500 Station Street, Box Hill should be able to help you (this has been discussed in recent threads to death)

got my first one today....

it is only a noise one and as i only have a HKS cat back i am hoping it will be under...

i am thinking of going to daalder in dandenong....

if any ideas or suggestions please drop a line...

daaler exhausts - 500 Station Street, Box Hill

has anyone tryed there resonator that they claim it will be under 90db

i just got my exhuast system and it is a bit loud in low revs

as i cruise its really not that loud just mainly hums

but when i boot it the exhuast gets very loud

im thinking of going down to daddler exhuast's ( Box Hill ) to buy the resonator and fitting it in myself

    • Thanks for the replies guys, I'm new to the world of hybrids. It's definitely a lot cheaper to run than my old m35 stagea that's for sure but yeah well shy of the claimed figures so far, hoping the batteries not poked (although it came with a 3 year warranty for the hybrid battery as well). Wondering if it'll take another tank for the ecu to figure out the higher octane if it's been run on 91 for a bit? 
    • welcome to SAU  sounds like you do have a bit of sorting out to do on the car, but it looks nice you can attach pics directly after you've made 10 posts.
    • yeah a coolant pressure test will tell you if you have a leak anywhere as it just pressurises the system. If it drops from where you set it, say 1 bar, you have a leak somewhere
    • Thanks heaps. So basically, bare block, very very similar. And cranks are the same
    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
