Driving R33 Gtst Without An Exhaust At All

[Kujotk]

ive had to move my r33 gtst about 30meters without an exhaust on today and i will have to do it again for 50 meters tomorrow, will this cause any problems???? i ask this question because the idle was everywhere and in the short drive there is allot of loss in power.....

yes yes i know epa and cops would love to be there when i start her up tomorrow morning....

anyway the car sounded like a dragster without an exhaust, i mean not just the cat back, but from the turbo.....

cheers

no there won't be a problem. plus it will sound ful sik.

actually I'm surprised you noticed it drive differently it should be the same. just a shitload louder

if the idle is uneven you probably have another leak somewhere on the intake side

[Kujotk]

yeah sounds like a rotary dragster lol fully ssic....

well i didnt rev it past 1500rpm so i really cant say for sure but i thought it might have been weaker.... could just be my imagination....

also what is this intake side???? and where would it leak???

[SLY-25T]

tom! please take a video! id love to hear this. lol

[Kujotk]

hahahah i will but dont know if my fone will do it justice....

i'll try to borrow a camera

recon your underbelly would catch fire or something if you say gave it some down the street? man id love to see the clip, would be a whole new RB experience.

just gather some mates and push the car? assuming the road is flat..

[cuppas]

the only thing you might damage is the dolphins

but yeah, idle shouldnt really be wandering i dont think

+1 for inlet side check

[Duncan]

they sounds sweet without an exhaust. even my stagea when it was standard was sweet without the zorst on (cat back)

[MR34GT]

Deffinatly gonna damage ya ears..... but soooo worth it!!!!

[-Dukes-]

It should loose a bit of power due to lack of back pressure, but it should be fine

[Kujotk]

ahhahahaah yeah i forgot to reconnect one of the pipes from the engine lol, i didnt disconnect it so i didnt know it was un done.....

the video turned out like crap due to video phone so its already deleted..... its not hard to take of the exhaust, just 4 bolts and 2 nuts and its off....

if i have a free hour and a good video amera i'll do it again and post it up for all to see....

also i was told running a car without an exhaust is an $8k fine, ive heard something similar before but does anyone know for sure????

anyway my car is now a full turbo back exhaust and still sounds awesome, nice deep gurgle, very tough sounding... i do recommend a full turbo back exhaust and highflow cat for any car...

After doing my RB30DET conversion all I had was the dump pipe off the turbo, the exhaust shop was 7km away and I drove it there without any problems, the only difference I noticed was noise and the smell of running without a cat ; )

[08yannch]

you will never guess what i just did

i removed my exhaust just leaving the down pipe. i have always wonted to but never could be stuffed

so this was a good reason

it is not going to cause to much damage because there is a little heat shield

but taking of the exhaust will only make that car sound like a dragster but i didn't put my foot flat so maybe the car could run better with the turbo going all out

i'm putting a video of it on you tube

only damage i did was to my ears, had it the dump pipe only, getting the cat welded on. i think i lost about 10% of my hearing after going down Reid at 90km :S
