nope... its like us... as soon as we get em done we make em loud again :(

mine is JASMA approved cause it has an extra muffler... which im going to remove this weekend to see what she really sounds like :)

yeah mine is jasma complied

i removed that second muffler or resonator

it cost me 50 bucks to replace it with straight thru pipe

but man it sounds sooo much better now

idle is a lil louder but still quiet

but when you start revving it, man its sounds like a whole new exhaust. starting to get popping as well and more of a evident droning sound as opposed to before.

btw is it illegal to chop off the resonator thingy?

btw is there a difference between dump pipe and front pipe

or are they exactly the same thing?

cos i asked the guy that chopped off my resonator how much for a dump pipe

he said 220 fitted

im was like wtf that seems incredibly cheap

they are different... dump is the part off the turbo... front pipe is the pipe from the cat to the dump... well im pretty sure thats what they are... i brought a dump and front pipe in one for 200 from Steve (phat32) keep forgetting to call ICE to get it installed... they said it would only be about 80 to install.

Depends, some "dump" pipes are like one-piece from the turbo to the cat, others are split into two pieces where one is the "dump pipe" and the rest is the "front pipe".

Mine is like 2 pieces. Think it helps when you get a bigger turbo as rather than replacing the whole thing, you just replace the dump bit so it fits the new larger turbo.

ok so we took it to daalder on friday...

"no way"

was the response lol

in other words he said it was a waste of time welding a resonator in cause it wont make it the legal limit either rofl.

its cause its a fat straight pipe with a near hollow cannon on the end... its the end pipe that makes it so loud as well apparently...

oh well i didnt like the exhaust anyway i thought it looked ugly. Going to put something nice a polished and shiney on it once we get pass this EPA thing.

inark

i have a cat back HKS system, but recently replaced the rear canon with the standard muffler, i.e had an 's' pipe made to fit the standard muffler to the 3 1/2 inch HKS pipe and the results were amazing....took it from 100+ db to 84 db ......

so the rear muffler determines the loudness is my point.

I got done too.. EPA sent me a nice letter to tell me mine was too loud... pfft..

I didnt think mine was that loud...

Got it tested on Friday.. and its 95db.. :P

They are going to put a smaller resonator (spelling) on it :)

replacing the 3' with a 2'.. they said it shouldnt restrict it too much... What do you guys think???

permanently? i don't like it. That means you're effectively reducing the entire exhaust to 2". Get a 3" straight through resonator or a 'daalder magic resonator" (still 3") and get that put in the system under the car. That should bring 95dB down to 89.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
