Exhaust Modification

[TUF250]

Ok folks, I have an r33 gts-t.

Current exhaust mods are:

- Bellmouth 3inch dump/front pipe

- Xforce 3 inch cat (apparently, came with car)

- 3 inch stainless mandral bent system which also came with car. (it is jasma approved, so its quiet, one huge muffler at the rear that goes 3inch in then splits into two pipes inside and then back out with a single 3inch again, middle muffler is same brand but smaller about the size of a shoe box)

the mufflers appear so say K&H on them, never heard of them?

The car flows great, good performance, cant complain but its too quiet!

It literally makes almost no noise. It is completely drained out by the induction noise.

RB25s have a good note and I would like to get some of that without being too loud and offensive obviously.

Recommendations for a good sensible note? remove rear muffler for a cannon? different rear muffler, no rear muffler etc?

thanks

making it loud is just asking for police attention on the street. if its nice and quiet why not just leave it that way, get a bit of straight pipe made up for track days if you want some noise.

^ Agreed, I craved quietness with the skyline, maybe just take the centre muffler out

i would but its all welded, beautiful system. It was a novelty to have it that quiet but truly it makes no noise, no different to stock system. I was thinking have the rear muffler changed to the flange (half way between middle and rear muffler) so I can change back if needed?

Not looking for police attention just a nice, crisp but still reasonably quiet exhaust note

i have a jasma fujutsubu canon and just a hotdog in my 3.5inch system, and its as loud as it can get before going over the allowed db, im getting a 3 inch bellmouth and highflow cat (i have stock dump/front and cat) so it will louden it up a bit! cos im after a bit more noise to, so to answer your question, since u have a similar system to mine, i think taking out the center muffler and get a hotdog (if you dont already have one) should make it sound nice.

Just get the centre muffler cut out and a straight piece welded in.

Ok sounds good. Would be cheapish too. What about this rear muffler, would it be restrictive? the 3inch in 3inch out but with the twin pipes running through it? its a huge muffler. ill try get a pic. doing the centre would be cheaper than the rear (less bends) Also I could keep my current tip which I dont mind

[TUF250]

has anyone got a 3 inch system with a high flow cat and only one big muffler, what did you think if so?

[SLY-25T]

check out my for sale thread (in sig) for my old exhaust. unique and mildly sounding. enough of the sales pitch.

i got a custom 3 inch made up with a straight through muffler and thats it. same sort of sound from my old one just deeper and louder. when it opens up ~4500+ it really starts to roar. i frukin love it... my petrol seems to be draining somewhere....

3 inch dump pipe high flow cat and lukey turbo muffler 3in 3 out. no police attention but loud enough and seems to flow enough

[TUF250]

im in vic nismoid. I wonder if just removing the centre muffler and replacing with a straight pipe would sound good? The rear muffler looks quite big and has a twin chamber type design. K&H brand. Might be a good way to go, wont cost much either i figure. thoughts?

we're used to WA laws where theres no fine whatsoever for not running a cat

[some_cs_student]

Swap your exhaust for someone who wants a quiet one ?

IMO then you are very silly to change it.

If it's quiet now, then its probably only just legal.

Changing it wil mean you are then over the dB limit almost certainly - I'm yet to see a single muffler system pass.

So you'll end up having to change back for EPA defect reasons anyway.

Stealth & silent is the new black in Vic, it's sadly the only way you can enjoy a Import with relatively low hassle.

Having it loud just simply is not worth the heartache, anyone who's battled the EPA for years (like myself), would most likely agree.

Are 3inch pipes any good for the car? Like say from the catback straight pipe no muffler or anything? could it mess my tune up if i change it? as i have a greddy one?
