R33 Gtst - Exhaust Is Too Loud

[Bariskycord]

Quick question on changing a not too loud exhaust

I just brought a r33 T for a month, start considering to change the exhaust since its too loud for me (arr.. for my gf actually....)

im a newbie anyway so please give me some advice on this, how much does it cost in Perth if i want it quiet and also good performance (reduce sound and not restrict)

already did some search on this site but found thats not a good idea to put a silencer

(the car is pretty stock, no mod on engine/turbo)

Thanks

Go to your local exhaust shop and get them to weld an extra muffler in.

[Bariskycord]

Thanks mate, any recommend brand of muffler? suggest me to weld an extra on it instead of changing the whole thing?

also want to know the cost (well..roughly)

[bubba]

Can't help there mate, I've always tried to make mine louder!

My gtr got quieter once i removed the muffler 3 1/2 inch straight through to resonator now and it is one of the quietest Lines on the road

she will get use to the noise, its prob not even that loud haha, wait till you hear my 180sx, rb20 no cat 3inch all the way then twin 2.5 inch tips.

also do you know what exhaust system you have atm, like is it straight 3inch from cat or does it have a muffler also. and how loud we are talking about here if you can explain.

but if you really have to. just do what bubba said to do, should cost a few hundred, depending if you have stainless or mild steel. not sure on what brand but i am sure the exhaust place should help you out.

there is a cheaper way but it looks funny, is putting a silencer on the tip of the cannon (if you have one)

install an external wastegate your missis wont complain about the exhaust for being to loud then lol

[Flash89]

I LOL at those replied

dude, don't change it. keep your RB rwarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrringgggggggggg

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

buy some ear plugs or ear phones for the missus instead , or chop out one of the mufflers and put a screamer pipe on, see if she thinks its too loud then

u mean u take off the whole thing from the muffler to the resonator on mid pipe? it ll looks missing sth at the back

auctually i just want to know is that true "for t sport car, the quieter the exhaust the larger the back pressure, the greater the damage to the engine"?

i had the muffler cut out and a piece of 3 1/2 inch exhaust pipe welded in its place

so the muffler is the cause of noise?

[XxNinjaxX]

get a couple hot dog mufflers welded into your exsisting system, it'l drop down the droan of the note without creating a huge restriction and in turn quiet down the rawr comming out of the end. or if you really want to quiet it down get a massive muffler put in the middle.

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

mufflers/resonators/hotdogs, what ever you wanna call them, decrease the noise (dB).

the more mufflers; the quieter it is.
