Hey guys, 

Just thought id vent a little and see if anyone can help me... so i got pulled over and to be honest i was lucky the copper was pretty freindly not a total arse, he ran the wheel under the middle of the car (thank god not the front) which was fine, but noted the exhaust was a bit loud. He didn't pop the bonnet which was damn lucky... but yeah got the EPA letter just got it tested and 102db... and thats with the silencer in set to closed. 

So i really need to find a standard exhaust ASAP...

any help would be appreciated

So you didn't get a chance to show off your sexeh green rocker box cover? :P

GL getting it sorted out man.

Nah im sure he woulda cracked the shits if he had of seen that hahaha I am just going to get the bloke at the exhaust place to make me up a rear muffler that will keep it super quite... $300 GONE!

ah well

what can ya do...

Best thing to do, Ryan, is get a high-flow muffler added and make sure the exhaust shop/workshop tests it for a legal dB output reading.

At least that way you know you're not strangling the car with a too-small exhaust just so you can get it past the EPA.

Paul got the EPA, i have the spare stock exhaust... The exhaust on my car is very mellow, 3" with two proper oval mufflers >_<

Really? When I bought mine, it had one hot-dog resonator about 18" long and just the rear cannon on it. I never got it measured for noise, but it was headache-inducing on any long-ish trips, and never had any troubles with driving right next to police.

When I got the PFC, dump/front pipe and hi-flow cat installed, I also got them to add another muffler, the've removed the resonator completely.

i got my stock exhaust siting at RE customs atm, more then welcom to help yourself, just get them to call me..

and im getting my middle muffler taken out this week, cause i have a full 3inch and i cant hear a thing, its pretty good but i wanna enjoy it for a bit, more then welcome to borrow that muffler also

Hey buddy can you let me know how you go with removing the centre muffler?

Any more performance and is it still reasonably quite?

I am going through the same thing with mine, it makes decent power at the moment but i was considering removing the centre muffler for a bit more noise because the exhaust now is so quiet that i cant without flooring her!

WOW!!!

WHAT A BUNCH OF LEGENDS RIGHT HERE!!!

Thanks heaps guys for all the offers, i am going to borrow ryno's cause i know where he lives and hopefully it will make the care real real quite... i spoke to Ben at racepace and he recons that even the standard exhausts on some GTRs don't pass... 90db is really really really quite its like stupidly quite. I haven't had a problem with cops up until now, its an age old story... your not in trouble until u get caught.

Anyway i need a good exhaust place to do the work for me, like i have a 3.5 inch system and i just want to quite it right down, all it needs is a highflow muffler in the middle and a big highflow oval muffler at the rear with some 3" twin tips... I have been quoted a full exhaust through racepace at 3.3k and i really don't wanna pay that... Anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers oh and thanks again all especially Ryan ill cya tonight champ

Cefiro i have PMed you but haven't got a responce would i be able to borrow your exhaust?? i figured that Rynos cat back probably isn't going to bolt up to my 3.5" cat very well so i would really appreicate it if i can grab it off you some time this week... if anyone else has a 260rs stocker available in melbourne please let me know RUNNING OUT OF TIME ;)

thanks

    • They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.
    • I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.  
    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
