Installed an Apexi Mechnical Pully Silencer =)


Recommended Posts

Hey ppl,

Just installed an Apexi Mechnical Pully Silencer on my R34 last night at BMT. Damn my car/exhaust is quiet when the silencer is shut...quiet than any cars on road...cant rev is at all when its shut cause it makes a scary sound...sounds like a person screaming if rev above 3000 when shut. If sounds good when silencer isnt shut =)

Thanx the boys from BMT...they spent the whole night on my car...didnt leave the place until 12am.

Apexi Exhaust Valve Controller isnt that what its called or somthing not too sure i know some people that have it on thier car which is sweet, but if they do somehow get you for a epa and they do test the exhaust they will fail you with that in there. BUt still i nice toy just in case your going through a booze bus or something :)

APEXi ECV (Exhaust Control Valve)

The A'PEXi ECV (Exhaust Control Valve) allows you to control the loudness of your exhaust sound. The ECV is installed right after the catalytic converter, and adjustment of the valve is done through a cable run from the ****pit to the valve body. All you have to do is slide the lever installed in the car to get the appropriate sound. With the A'PEXi ECV you'll no longer need to get out of the car to fit a detachable silencer into the tail pipe.

Very useful little unit!

I have one on my Cefiro and it's awesome when you have to drive next to cops or cruising with your grandparents.

NOTE: Watch out accelerating too hard with silencer in - likely to cause detonation... only good for cruising ... great to remove the 'drone' when highway cruising.

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
