Hey guys,

I've currently got an X-Force turbo back exhaust system which is 3" from turbo to cat and 3.5" from the cat onwards. The only muffler is the one at the rear. I want to get a new muffler welded in and I was wondering what I should be looking for as I'd like it to flow as much as possible without it effecting performance TOO much. I also want it to be fairly quiet at idle and even when driving around normally but still want to hear that RB note when pushing it, any ideas on what muffler I should be looking at?

Cheers,

Borci88

same story here, except mine is 3.5 from turbo, with one rear muffler and a 4" cannon. Any idea how much a mid mounted muffler would affect performance? Kinda don't want to sound like i'm racing every time i pull away from the lights.

Any decent quality, locally supplied large bodied straight through mid-muffler would do the trick.

Any decent sized muffler that is straight through, will be fine.

And don't get a Varex. They are illegal in Victoria so will cause more problems than they will fix.

Damnnnnn nismoid,they don't leave you guys alone down there aye :(

You can obviously get defected up here if they figure it out and the decibels are too high on open but they aren't illegal..

Trust PEII will solve your problems :)

Im currently looking into the same thing myself.

Have an HKS hi power that is far too loud with a 3076, so have borrowed a Trust PEII for the time being. Am making up a new center section consisting of a large 3.5inch straight through oval muffler, that i will run on the street, and replace it with the HKS center section on the track.

Without intentionally hijacking the thread, do any of you aussies know about therse mufflers?

M&H Muffler. The only 3.5inch i can find :(

I just swapped over my Fujitsubo cannon for a 12 x 8 x 18 inch straight through di fillippo muffler. Still got the rb sound but quietened it up a lot and would barely affect flow if at all. Absolutely love it.

I spoke to Racepace and that was there advice get the biggest straight through quality muffler/s you can fit.

Look into Magnaflow Race series oval mufflers.. they do 3.5 and 4" straight though all stainless.

I have a 4"one..

    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
    • Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)
    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
