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

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)

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

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

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.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
