Where To Get Custom (quiet) Exhaust Made

Hi Guys,

Dos anyone here know where I should go in order to get a custom made cat back exhaust made up that will fall within the 92db range. My curent 3 inch turbo back system flows well, but is really loud. I'm looking for something that is relatively quiet, yet still flows well.

I went to see a well known exhaust place in Campbellfield earlier today and they told me not to bother, as you can't get a decent flowing 3 inch exhaust system that will still be legal. I'm not sure if they were telling me porkies, because I've heard it can be done.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I should go in order to have this done? R31Nismoid, if you're reading this, where did you get your system made up? (I read in another thread that your system is pretty quiet).

Thanks people.

Adam.

i need to get one done aswel, i'll probably be heading to dandy exhausts where i originally had my setup made...i pulled 98-99db....if i added another resonator would that pass it??

both my cars are legal with magnaflow setups.... Stagea is Catco highflow cat, generic mid muffler with magnaflow rear, Rowville exhaust centre did the work

32 is just a magnaflow rear with an EVC, was a cannon before that, massive difference, might swap the EVC for another muffler at some point though... Glen at Mufflers and more did that diff back- 0450 675 984

+1 for Racepace, if budget permits.

Speaking from personal experience, I have a Racepace 3.5 inch custom exhaust which is quiet as stock, but gives high flow. I have not had any complaints from EPA, neighbours and cops.

Now I am upgrading to a 4 inch :P

According to the EPA letter I recieved its 92db.

Great! I hope thats the same across different state (I should check that out). I'm a bit paranoid over the limit as mine is just on the line of 92 and thinking that 90 is the limit kinda made me wanna downgrade to a quieter Regu06 (Justjap just had them in stock). Thats a thumbs up for people chasing legal exhaust dB as I find 90dB is almost impossible to reach for most aftermarket exhaust (as it varies from mods and vehicle). Heres the ADR I've got and I've seen someone posting a vehicle model specific test rpm level on the forum before too.

Its not 92 dB, read the letter again :ermm:

Aaah, damn it. Must have read it wrong, there are a whole bunch of numbers and big words and stuff, i'm easily confused :)

How much $ do you think i'd be looking at in order to get a legal exhaust made up by these racepace guys, Nismoid?

ive got an exhuast that im willing to start renting out, its not a 3 inch but makes your car so quiet that its funny. Its a cat back exhaust. Its approx 106mm from the centre to centre of each bolt. It has a 52mm tip. No kidding, it is really quiet, sounds quieter then the missus' hoover. Im willing to rent it out at a slab of jim beam or $80 plus $300 deposit, to be returned when the exhaust comes back. Im also willing to help put it on. I will only help if available.

This was purchased to pass an epa when i got done for being to loud with my cannon. Got used on epa test only. This passed my r33 gtst at 82 db!!

Thanks anyway mate, but i kept the stock exhaust, so i'm gonna change it back on the weekend. I think I might get a kakimoto regu 06&r cat back in the near future. I've heard they're pretty quiet, i still don't think it will beat 90bd though. Probably a bit cheaper than the $1500+ quote I got to make a custom 3 inch cat back that will flow well and meet EPA requirements.

if your catback with a cannon on the end already has a proper mid muffler just get a new diff back system made up with a magnaflow 3" in/out 4"x11" oval by 14"body rear muffler. should be legal easily. stagea is 86db

The exhaust I have is a full 3 inch turbo back, with nothing but a hi flow cat, hot dog and a cannon lol. It's ridiculously loud, hence why I really need to change it. I'll change it back to stock for the EPA test and then look for something more suitable. Even if the exhaust was CLOSE to the 90db I would be happy. I've been doing some research, it looks like the Kakimoto o6&r might be a winner, or maybe the fujitsubo. Does anyone know of any other off the shelf cat backs that would be close to 90db?

I just bought a nice Kokimoto Jasma approved full stainless exhaust in excellent condition for $300, go to those places where they import cars, they're usually import these cars with those exhausts on and take them off once they compliance them.

    • Hey Matt, Link pointed to the 2x IGN power sources from the car as a likely issue, and sure enough pin 31 in the loom does not have power when IGN is on (24 does). So at the ECU, (and this is probably the case for R32 as well as C34) most of the ECU loom goes through the firewall behind the blower motor and there are 2 plugs (of 3 in the junction box) which go up and under the dash, the third plug heads under the carpet to places unknown (likely a body to dash loom joint) So, I started to follow that problem through yesterday. Like Johnny (and R32) I assumed that power was supplied through the 2 connectors near the left headlight so I spent some time pulling the intake etc off and cleaning of 400,000klm of dirt and oil leaks and checking those pins, but there was nothing related to the engine parts or ignition fuses there (and no purple with white trace wire in either side of the connectors) Given that the wire didn't seem to go via the engine bay, I then checked there is continuity from Pin 31 to the second connector to confirm no wiring issue in the ECU loom (it looked likely, given how much that has been hacked up over the years!). The pin marked with the purple dot is the other end of the wire to Pin 31 Then I check for IGN power in the dash loom side of that connector with the key on. Nothing. Given that loom goes up and underneath the top of the dash there is no tracing it without taking the dash out, so I went to the driver's side to see if I can find the other end of that (I'm expecting to get to big body junction boxes after I pull enough apart). However, to get to those functions, I had to pull the covers off the drivers side, I'm pretty sure the problem is in this pic Yep, factory remote start (bottom right), local immobiliser (middle) surrounded by 20 years of butchery. Plan is to totally remove the remote start and immobiliser (I think I will lose remote central locking temporarily as a result) to remove all the suspect stuff given I have other more modern security in the car It's gonna take a while, and it is both cold and uncomfortable out in the shed, not looking forward to it.
    • Hey team,  The clutch on my newly bought 25 swapped r32 feels average and sticks half way. Went to go order a new clutch master but it does not look like the ones that suit the one that’s in the car…    does anyone know what clutch master is this just by looking ?  (The feed is on the side rather than the bottom like the ones the pop up online)  thanks guys new to the RB scene so any help is appreciated cheers !!
    • Id be more than happy to sign up!!! Where do I send the invoices for my fuel usage? I'm happy to provide the mower, oil, and the labour to abuse the motor, just a little help on fuel would be great...   I had tipped the container of oil out into my big "drip tray" and left the small container upside down to drain the oil out of itself overnight. PIcked the container up today, and it has a layer of what feels like either dirt, or shit tonnes of carbon in the bottom of the container. I'm leaning towards it likely being dust, as I doubt the quality of the Sunli BumbleBee having a decent air filter on it, and sections of my yard produce a dust storm, especially because of the high lift blade!   So, filled her up with some fresh Nulon. Seemed to run fine, but it seems to want to run at really high RPM (higher than normal) even with the governor spring slacked off after fire up to try reduce it. If I back the throttle off it a bit to drop the rpm to where I'd like it to be when mowing light grass, it starts to blow a bit of smoke out the exhaust. Opening the throttle back up clears that out. It's definitely breathing oil, as I put my hand down at the breather hose and it's spitting some oil.   My guess is it having been running at high rpm, oil never changed, and it eating dust has destroyed the rings. You know what that means? Time to send it!!!
    • That is what will seal with the bonnet closed. Follow it down while closing the bonnet to see where it ends up with the bonnet closed. The panels don't do anything other than spending money, which this one will do just fine. :p
    • Nah just send me a photo or a drawing and I'll tell you which is better.  It's a new SAU service.
