Hey Guys

I got my dream car but it's far too loud!

Some specs -

TRUST extended split dumps

EXHAUST TECHNOLOGY custom twin system with Apexi valve and custom cross over pipe...

Pic of split System

Pic of tail pipes

What is my best option for quitening the car down without ruining the performance?

I'd also prefer to keep the tail pipes rather than go for a single big drain pipe.

Thankyou..

Get some decent mufflers mate, looks like you have two pissy cannons and thats it. :)

Which basically wont do anything... ! One of my mufflers is probably better than the two you have.

The cross-over's purpose doesnt reduce noise either, so not sure why you mentioned it :(

I have the same from section as you (Trust extensions), two BIG custom mufflers, 94dB 3.5" all the way and will flow over 350rwkw.

Done and dusted ;)

There have been a few "exhaust noise" threads now, and ive posted pics of mine in there 2-3 times so have a search if you want a visual.

sorry, but whats the point of the crossover section?

I think it has a similar effect to a balance pipe in v8's.

If you didnt have it it would be like having two 4cylinder motors creaming their balls off, and you would loose the V8 grumble.

And in this case, two 3cylinder turbo motors.

I wonder what that would sound like :)

it does actually but your right those rear mufflers wont control the noise, must admit though marky mark is without a doubt the best exhaust shop in aus. im sure if you go back and say i want it quieter he will do it.

i wish i had the oppurtunity for him to do my ltd exhaust :) he has done plenty of work for me in the past and shits on anything else i have seen from anywhere.

Yer to start off wid in my torana i had a twin exhaust and it didnt crossover and it had a reali bark sound to it.. sounded reali bad especially when reving up higher... then it was rewelded with a cross over, it lost the bark sound and made the lower V8 rumble stand out more... is beautiful :)

not a 100% sure but the purpose of the balance pipe on a v8 is to balance the back pressure between the two banks, so its not needed on a turbo car as the turbo's create the back pressue for the engine, not the exaust

but the system looks good, id just chuck a muffler on each side, should quiten it down a bit

You'll need a couple (one for each pipe) of centre mufflers or silencers/resonators. That's the only way you'll get it quieter without changing the rear mufflers, which look too nice to change.

silencers/resonators wont do a thing.

The cross over is something alone the lines of below, its probably not exact, but yeah... just a starting point.

To even the exhaust pulses/tone. (nfi the true term)

If you have 3 cylinders, and then 3 all the way to the rear without crossing, it sounds retarded as its not even (ie all 6).

So the cross-over lets this occur and giving it a good sound

That said, i had a ZJ fairlane many years ago no balance pipe and it sounded good.

Yep, it's a GTR R32.

Ok, so it seems that I need to replace the existing mufflers with 2 decent big ones. The guy at the exhaust shop wanted to put in a single big muffler in the middle where the crossover is. Will that make the car sound wierd?

nice looking exh....are you running cats? (i found one cat was enough in addition to a shitty cannon to get my 26 quiet enough to go over the pits) otherwise some chambered mufflers somewhere in the middle will do the job.

sir racer; I had the same issue and ended up going with a custom made 4" muffler.... couldnt find a 3.5" anywhere (3.5" thin wall stainless is not an easy thing to find either - i ended up paying double for a 3.5" bend what i coudl get a 3" one for, sort off explains the lack of local 3.5" mufflers also)- cheaper in the end to go 4" if there was the room

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
