A mate of mine just got the nice EPA letter in the mail about his exhaust noise.

He's had the car for 4 years and its his first one (Im gob smacked about that as his car is FARKEN loud)

Anyways.... he has no idea where he might get a quieter loan exhaust from. Anyone have any suggestions?

cheers

:D

Got the EPA check done on Friday at Exhaust City in Cheltenham and am very pleased with the result.

My car is right on the 90dB limit at 4875 rpm.

At 4000 rpm its 94dB and even louder on decelleration, but this doesnt matter.

Now I have a certificate to send in and it only cost me $27, which although is still a pain is not as bad as it could have been.

Paul from Exhaust city told me "You have the perfect exhaust system for your car".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
