Hi all.

just wanted to introduce myself and my new 98 R34 S1 GT-T.

ive been hanging round cars for quite some time.

i used to own a 73' Celica TA22 - which i put a 4a-ge bigport in (with exhaust etc etc).

i used to stop around toymods quite a bit prior to this.

now i own a skyline with a 3" blitz turbo back exhaust, pod and turned up turbo (r32 solenoid??)

fuel efficiency is horrible on this thing, i think its the lack of tune - so i plan on returning the airbox and removing the pod (putting a nice panel filter in there), and putting on a return flow FMIC on the front.

shortly after that, throwing a nistune in there and getting it turned asap!

i dont want any attention from the cops therefore im quietening down my exhaust (which is too loud atm). i plan on replacing the cannon to a nice oval muffler and having twin tips.

question: if i have twin tips facing down, will this quieten the sound coming out of the car (ie. sound is logarithmic, and based on intensity (3dB is a double in intensity) - so therefore if the sound is directional (ie. throwing straight at the microphone from a cannon, surely hitting the ground / dissapating) would quieten it down.

is there a legal limit to how far it points down?? i had a talk to a fella at daalder exhausts in box hill, he wasnt on the same page i was on - suggested a whole new exhaust.

i dont have boost controllers / turbo timers or none of that crap and i drive it responsibly, giving it the occasional squirt once in a while (not into burn outs etc) :)

anyway, i have plenty more questions which hopefully i can ask wednesday night (does any one mind if i come along??)

thanks and nice to meet you!

Tim

Car looks great. As you have mentioned best way to quieten exhaust but still keep a great sound is add as many large bodied straight through oval mufflers as is required to meet your sound requirments.

hey tim,

love the look of ur car mate!

there is no limit in regards to the angle i dnt think.. but if u do want it 100% legal u pretty much need a stock exhaust or a VERY well designed customed made one($$$$).. I got defected a few weeks back n got a full epa.. took the car to get tested and got 87db and 89db on back off with a stock catback exhaust system and 3" front and dump pipe.. it doesnt matter how low u point it at the end of the day they can chcsk ur car on a hoist and test it which means ur theory of the sound hitting the ground would useless..

cheers

Herbie
