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

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 馃槩, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 馃
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
