Oval Style Mufflers (non-cannon)


Recommended Posts

Im looking at getting an exhaust for my GTR

I think the kakimoto exhausts sound awesome

But im after something that dosent have a cannon rear muffler

If you're referring to the type i have on my car, I've got no idea as well:

All i know is that it's 3.5" from cat-back (possibly mild-steel? I dunno) with 2 big oval mufflers and 3.5" tip - Only markings i could find on the exhaust was under the muffler where it had the JASMA Japanese emissions label stamped on.

I'm also interested to see if anyone knows about manufacturers that have produced these type of exhausts.

Cheers,

Steve

Just get one made over here :(

do you think that a custom made exhaust would flow as well as a jap produced one

it may be a stupid question, but i feel that a hks or kakimoto may just flow better as it is designed specifically for the car.

i was thinking, if i got one made at an exhaust shop that i might use

xForce dumps and cat

magnaflow rear muffler

get them to make the rest, (front pipe, and catback)

A well made exhaust is a well made exhaust...

Not sure what you mean when you say a Jap one is designed for the car... custom made local one is also designed for the car, so its the same thing.

As long as its designed to flow, then it will is the be all and end all really.

Any decent exhaust place can produce work equal or better to the Japs.

My exhaust (locally made, custom mufflers the works) will flow over 350rwkw no problem and its 92dB at the moment, so damn quiet.

Other cars i know are making more than that, and similar noise outputs.

One that I have never seen anyone else mention is a momo-course exhaust.... was a beautiful sound when my car was non turbo .. now its bloody quiet unless you put your foot down.. then she still gives a good roar;)... i think its a 3-3.5inch system and a 5inch tip...which looks pretty big :)....heres some pics...

sounds like custom is in order then

do you think i should provide the dumps, or have the whole thing custom made??

ive just done some more reading up on here about other custom exhausts

i was thinking of getting 3" the whole way

but seems like people are suggesting 3.5"

but, primarily, should i provide the dumps?(and possibly provide the cat too, if i get xforce dumps and cat)

There are plenty of off-shelf dumps around these days, just get those

And the rest from the Front Pipe back, fitting dual mufflers will keep it nice and legal(ish) for the EPA

    • Hey Duncan,  What you did with the boot is mint, I'm going to do the same with my R33.  Do you no longer like the R-Chassis?
    • Just keep in mind (maybe too late now) that before you go crazy, most driveways aren't flat. This _can_ affect your dynamic camber and heights too. It is kinda funny but getting people to really align stuff right can be problematic for people with OCD. Consider a motorsport place if there's any around, and also consider you may have 'dynamically' altered your own camber after a visit to the track, which can happen too.    
    • So I got some fresh Kuhmo 275's on the back to replace the crap that came on this set of wheels and put them on with the front street'ers too. But man I was getting crazy rubbage on the rear passenger side which is odd as the previous crap was 275 also and was on there before I added my extra camber. The semi's are also a *fat* 265 and had no rubbing. I noticed that the camber left and right was pretty different. Very little on the passenger side. My magnetic camber tester on uneven ground showed roughly -1.75 on drivers side and less than -.5 on the passenger side.   It would have been like this on the track day. :( I adjusted the passenger arms to be as close to the drivers as I could get by eye. I then used my new fender roller to make some extra space but holy crap the folds on the guards are made from battleship steel! I couldn't get much rolled at all, they were so strong. My alignment is now off with a 30 degree turn in my steering wheel. I'll find a new alignment joint I think. Not only did the last place think my speed sensor cable zip tied to the camber arm was a brake line, they didn't zip tie them back after they aligned it which was pretty poor. Happy I noticed and did it before the track. Looks like they couldn't match left and right either.   Gave the old girl a bath and I'm always so happy with how she polishes up. 
    • Th 3/4 cage is bolted in with carpet cut. I plan to retrim the back seat area to have it feeling complete/GT3 vibes soon. For the rear door cards I'm using some poor condition factory door cards. I will cut up and make flat cards from to clear the cage.
    • Damn, thats a tidy solution. Looks great!  I carry a Slime repair thing with the air compressor since I ditched my run flats. It gives me a little bit of calm but in the past any blow out I've had was way worse than Slime could fix.  I don't have any space under the floor at all in mine so I couldn't do what you have. Lots of folks just strap a wheel in the boot as out of the way as possible.  Nice work!
