I was suggesting it was so loud because it was essentially a straight through pipe; ie has no mufflers.. What are we disagreeing on again?

haha, seems Aaron has confused you by confusing himself :P

Ryan. can you get a dB reading on that exhaust? Idle and 3000rpm perhaps?

Do like the Ti tips

Andrew builds his mufflers slightly differently. Instead of the traditional route, he uses sound deadening material around the outside. It does work, but he just needed to use more of it. Lessens restriction and gives a better sound.

Isn't that how most aftermarket mufflers work? You need a large muffler body, the bigger the chamber, the more low end noise it takes out. Hot dog or resonators are practically useless.

Doesn't explain the Blitz NUR exhaust

Not sure about other aftermarket mufflers, but I know most standard ones use baffles and other restrictions to lessen noise. Running a straight through pipe with sound deadening material around it should be the go if you use enough sound deadening.

I will get the noise down, once the bigger muffler is in we'll work out if we need to add another. Andrew prides himself on his work, and after having the car on the hoist today you can really see it.

Sounds like a few people are interested, so I'll get some group buy info.

I am still genuinely interested in the argument of bellmouth vs split dump? I have no idea, so I'm curious on the pros/cons of each?

I finally remembered to ring Andrew today, and he'll send me group buy details tonight.

In answer to another question I had, the cat installed in mine is a 200cpi metal cat.

Should get my new muffler in the next 2 weeks (assuming I get time to go round and get it fitted), but I have no doubt it'll be all sorted before group buy orders start happening.

Watch this space :thumbsup:

Ok guys, finally have the pricing for the AM Performance exhausts.

Dump/front pipe without cat - 480.00

Middle pipe with 200cpsi ceramic cat - 450.00

Middle pipe without cat - 250.00

Catback with muffler in the middle and single cannon style - 800

Catback same as above but twin mufflers 930.00

Titanium tips as per photos add 150.00

All is stainless steel (except titanium tips obviously).

Installation is $280 if you're in Adelaide, and prices are excluding shipping.

I have some group buy pricing if there is a number of people keen, we would need 4 people to go ahead.

If there is enough interest I'm willing to run a group buy, so let me know.

So complete system with Ti tips is just over $2k plus shipping?

I think maybe some db levels and a youtube clip for the sound might help.

Only reason I say that is because you can probably get a Kakimoto R or Blitz NUR and one of Scott's dump/front pipe combo's for that price, although AM's is probably a little easier for SA residents.

Still, very interested in the design and how AM are implementing the sound deadening. :D

Do love a well designed exhaust!

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By cabramatta · Posted

      Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅

      Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.

      That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.

      Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.

      I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
