Thinking Of Taking The Centre Muffler Off....

[Turbz RB-25]

Hi Fellas,

To get the best flow, I was thinking of removing the centre muffler (pretty much having a straight through pipe, no cat, no mufflers, with only a cannon muffler on the end).

However, I am a little cautious of how it may sound.... Has anyone done this?

Does it drone, is it high pitched, deeper sounding etc?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

I have 3" from the turbo down to a 3" decat, then 3.5" through to a bigg ass cannon. No mufflers nothing just the cannon. from the cat back its a JJR Hyperflow and decat and dump/front are my own. All stainless, all 304 grade as far as I know and decat is 316 grade

thats after a 3540r(.82), and thats on a XTR top-mount stainless manifold.

hell rasinging note, sounds really unique, my tuner mentioned how free flowing the setup was. But it IS insanely loud. doesnt have a doughey wishy washey note like some big diamtre systems you hear. sounds crisp and raspy, and performance wise its great.

can't say I've had any run-ins with the law about the Db level, but I live in a very small city and keep and pretty low profile lol. NOT recomended for built up area's!

cheers

You don't by any chance have any sound or video clips on you tube?

Hey turbz,my exhaust that i just replaced on my R33 was like that.Sound awesome while giving a bootfull but for driving around normally it would get a little loud and irritating.A little bit drony on highway when accelerating a little in 5th.Having said that i actually miss the tough sound she used to put out!I put on a 3 inch kakimoto exhaust and she is a little too quiet now.It almost sound stock unless your hammering it.Would love to have something in between the two.But if your not carrying two kids in the back like i am and in your mid thirties you will probably love it.Have fun man.

Thats the exact system that i had

[pipster11]

i have 3.5 inch from the gutted cat back with just the rear cannon

sounds soooooo nice

but i dont drive it every day but its way too loud if i did

up to you

if its a daily, not a good idea as it will drive you insane

weekend car go for it

Awesome thanks for the comments guys.

I got a silencer when I bought my cannon, so when I am going to the coast, I can just smack that baby on.

SO the verdict is, loud, higher pitched, and raspy note?

[Turbz RB-25]

please tell me it doesn't sound anything like this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG0J5vMe0dY

Can anyone find a video clip of something it sounds simular to?

Cheers

Yes except under 3000 rpm

[PM-R33]

It will be loud, trust me I love it though. Only downside is you will be heard from a km away

No it doesn't sound anything like that 3000GT.

Take the cannon off n put straight pipes on, sounds even better. Bit loud though.

[stenve]

ive got 3 inch split dump ---> 3 inch high flow cat ---> trust peII with the mid muffler removed.

when i first got the car i was sooo over the noise it made, pretty loud compared to my last 33 with oval muffler and mid muffler

now im used to it it doesnt bother me at all. sounds a tad droney at times (could be to do with the auto though)

get alot of people say how they love the sound of my car though. sounds great when you give it a bit

[boostn0199]

yeah ive got this setup sounds heaps better alot more depper note does heads in driving home at 4 am ahaha but ye i still love it

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

slightly more like this, not like the 3000GT doesn't sound like it at all

that's not my car btw, some random on you tube

might as well get a screamer pipe and make it sound like:

[r33cruiser]

interesting results.

i have a fujitsibu 3'' system mated to a gt3582 turbo, straight zorst to a zetti cannon muffler.

i dont have this ''raspy'' note. I have a nice deep, barbly tone.

Its loud, but bearable.

but as others have said, NOT adviseable for a daily.
