I envy the quietness of your car! After a while off loudness you will be wishing you left it as is and IMO the induction noise is way cooler then a loud exhaust note.

If your exhaust flows well and your making the power your happy with and its nice and quiet. Thats something I would wish for before world peace!

I'm a fan for quietness but my exhaust was too restrictive so took out the middle muffler (don't have or need a cat in NZ) and now it goes well and is still not too loud.

Get a hacksaw (or better still a pipe cutter) and cut out your middle muffler and fit a bit of pipe temporarily. If you like the result get it welded in if not you can weld the middle muffler back in.

A loud exhaust is a good way to annoy the neighbours and attract the attention of the police.

Everyone has a different definition of "loud", that much is certain... and often the law has another view all together...

So do what you want TUF250, but just remember its highly likely any mods will almost ensure EPA's will come your way.

I dont want it to be silly, I had a V8 previously with just resinators and it sounded great but it really was stupid and eventually got annoying.

Unless my rb is over 4-5k rpm there really is no noise at all. My dads stock xr6 turbo makes more noise! I was just after a burble. Not into cannons, big resinators only or anything like that. Just wanted a bit of burble not bark.

Thats why I thought id leave the rear muffler (the biggest) and remove the centre but I dont want to make it too loud and get myself into trouble.

its a tricky one...

It literally makes almost no noise. It is completely drained drowned out by the induction noise.
If the induction noise is too loud, why not do something about quietening it, like enclosing it in an air box.

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

I have a 4 inch from my T88 turbo back. I had the exhaust custom made with a 4 inch dump coming out pointing at the ground (rotaflo muffler)

It's loud as f**k, on a piston engine it would probably be a little quieter.

i've just got a 3" system from turbo back. with a single remus muffler. the sound is sweet. quiet when you're not on the gas and the system is nice and straight so a good note

coming down through the gears. but it has exceptional flow at WOT.

I would say to be cautious with mucking around with the exhaust chasing a given sound. Odds are you will end up with 'not quite what youre after' and louder than u want.

Quiet is better id say, and im in WA where you can do whatever the f*k you want :down:

My old R33 was loud as. Good for 10% of the time, annoying for the rest.

The current R33 makes twice the power but is quiet as. I love it. Then again i have a pod so it is dead quiet when chilling and an angry tornado under gas. Best of both worlds.

Maybe look at that mod to make turbo induction noise. I think it is a way sweeter noise than exhaust (as good as an RB can sound at the tailpipe) noted by another post above.

I turn way more heads with all induction noise on this one than all exhaust noise on the last one....

And yeah, Vic sounds very cop-strict so a loud exhaust is going to give you nightmares me-thinks.

Goodluck mate

thanks guys, ended up pulling that middle muffler out, quite happy now, only a touch louder and has a slightly deeper note, still very quiet highly doubt it will attract any more attention.

note. I am selling that straight through 3inch stainless muffler if anyone is interested in a high flow 'quiet' muffler

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah 路 Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline 路 Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz 路 Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
