Exhaust Note

[GD51LA]

looking for an exhaust for an 33gtr, i want it to bring out the engine sound, you know that sweet RB (26not25) engine note, it sounds simillar to the distinctive 2j note, you can sort of hear a hum in it, do you know what i mean?

some exhausts, like the canon muffler over power the engine note, and others can bring out the engine not, what is it?

do you have to do the whole sytem off the turbo? use a different steel?

does changing the dump pipes, front pipes and cat make allot of diffirence to the sound?

a cat back exhaust does sound nice but i think doesent really highlight the engine note

what is a good and reasonably priced exhaust system? dump pipes, front pipes, cat and cat back pipe??

what system have you got? and what kind of sound does it make?

As long as you get a stainless cannon catback you should be in the good.

Custom 3" catback, full stainless no resonator. (Dumps, front pipes ceramic coated)

Bought a Fujitsubo Legalis R stainless system for the 33R.

Very good quality bends, minimum obstruction. From memory, 3.5" internal diameter with 4.5" tip. Looks similar to this. Mine was about $1500 IIRC.

Need to make sure you also have a high-flow cat.

Obviously changing over the stock pipes from the turbo to the cat will also make it louder and bring out the "characteristic RB sound".

For now mine is fairly quiet at idle, has a nice mellow midrange with some good character up top too. Thing I love about it is it's not too loud that it attracts unwanted attention and is never "boomy", especially on the motorway when those harmonics (humming or booming sounds) can be really tiring.

be surprised what you can find on youtube.

if you come up with a list of some you're looking at, hit up the tube and you might get lucky. i know one guy has recorded a whole bunch of different brand name jap titanium exhausts notes (including acceleration videos), quite handy...
