Exhaust Extreamly Loud?

[Nick.]

Hey i just test drived an n/a skyline, and it has a 2.5 cannon muffler (not straight through) and it was really loud. liek my ear was going funny, is it common, uncommon, or a fault, also, if i were to buy it, wat muffler would i buy to quiet it down a tad,

is it common for rb's to be that loud?

Thanks Nick

Hey mate, Yeah depending on what style of cannon it is it can make things quite lould.. I had a seca corolla with a 2.5" cat back system and a cannon from REPCO and it was rated at 146db at 5-6000rpm.. was reduculious lol so got it taken off in the end..

and so what i reccomend if it dosnt have a aftermarket exhaust just replace to a stock barrel and tip again put on..

If it is an aftermark one just replace the cannon part if u do buy the car..

Hey man did you happen to notice what brand exhaust it was?

Did it have a silencer put in?

If you know what brand it is you might be able to get a silencer from the company, my exhaust a kakimoto racing one has a silencer available.

if not you can always go to a few exhasut shops, they can probably set you up with one..

Thats if you didnt want to go through the new exhaust hassle

My exhaust without the silencer is insanely loud, the ppl at woolongong hated me on the cruise yesterday

p.s. N/A skylines are always louder, turbos seem to quiet them down a bit

nah, didnt catch it, i guess its somthing i should have been asking, lol. so you rekon i can pic up a silencer, man it was so loud... my old mans like you would get so annoyed at it after an hour, but yeh, i guess i can just replace the muffler later on if theres no silencer . Thanks mate

yea the turbine in a turbo muffles the exhaust and makes it a tad quieter.

you can always get a center muffler or a new one welded on for like $200 and it'll be a lot quieter

ive got a standard exhaust with hot dog on my car ending in a DRIFT brand cannon and its pretty quiet most of the time.

How exactly does a silencer work?

[zZzDanzZz]

the ones you see on cannons just makes the outlet hole a lot smaller so it restricts the exhaust flow a bit to make it quieter. my cannon came with one but it looks pretty gay when its on lol.

mine shakes the windows of cars next to me.. I drive around with a silencer in 100% of the time, only remove it for drags

Before you do go out and buy anything have a look and see if all sections of the exhaust are boltd up tightly with good gaskets, some places may need goo, new gaskets or several gaskets.

Google Varex. Then buy one off ebay.

Loud, quiet, affordable and quality. No, I'm not a sales rep, I was just that impressed with the product.

A 3" on an na is way over exhausted. 3" is best suited for a turbo, most likely your exhaust is for a turbo and was brought of ebay or something.

your best bet is to change it to a 2 1/2" (understandably its not the cheapest option) ether that or do to your local exhaust place and get another muffler put in.

another note, im fairly sure you dont have to get the same brand name silencer so long as you get the right size for your tip (i have seen them for sale at autobarn) then you just have to knock it in and drill a small hole in the very end of you cannon and wack a nut and botl through to hold it in. (dont asume just because its a tight fit it will stay in without a bolt, it will fall out one day)

panda.

i have 2.5 inch pipes & cat into a 4 inch cannon.

its also veery very loud however i love the rb purr i get on idle.

[GTS25_R33]

ive always had 3inch systems on my falcons, and wen i asked about one for my n/a R33, the exhaust guy refussed to do it. he sed that is the biggest over kill to a non turbo 2.5.

2 1/2 inch is ideal for 2.5 DE's. im getttin mine on tomorrow along with turbo tec trackies and a "metal cat". and no cannon, tryin to be different.

ur cannon may have also had baffles taken out for a louder tone, all my mates do it to their exhausts, its shockin
