How Nosiy Is A Hks Super Dragger?

[Torques]

I came across this exhaust:

Would anyone know what noise level to expect from this one?

I don't want any droning or being unable to listen to music in the car. (that is with no amps installed)

Does anyone know how noisy this one is?

As an alternative I came across this one:

But the diameter of the piping (rear end) looks kinda small to me.

Basically I am looking for a system which is good for 260-300RKW ..

Thanks

And I meant NOISY, not NOSIY ... :)

anything with an oval mid muffler should be reasonable, anything with 3" all the way though will be fine for that power level, going bigger will make it louder.

if its got a hotdog and a cannon expect it to be loud and drone like a bitch at motorway speeds.

if like the ones you have linked it has an oval middle muffler and a cannon rear expect it to be reasonable and unlikely to have horrid drone while cruising

if its got two oval mufflers expect it to be fairly unobtrusive.

I have a hks superdragger on my GTR, very quiet. And i have changed the mid muffler to a resonator and its stil very quiet. Its due to the size of the muffler on the canon.

I've got this system on my car too @ 300kw. It registered just over 95 db above 5000 revs. But it has a good tone and doesn't drone.

I have this one also on my GTR.

Will be selling it soon.

It actaully sounds good! Quietish but then a great note when you give it a bit.

[Torques]

Thanks ..

Seems like this is the one to go then.

Actually I was quite happy with the standard exhaust.

Having the cat removed it actually sounds a bit hearty and it is not loud.

However I now have a hybrid turbo and it seems the standard exhaust is

restricting the engine too much when upping the boost further.

Btw.

Is the Super Drager 3 inch all the way??

Mine is actually more like 3.5. Slight reduction at each flange

I to have this on my 32, it has a great note and not loud at all, mine is 80mm at the cat flange then steps to 85mm straight away, goes through the muffler to the next flange then steps to 90mm and the out through the cannon to a 5" tip, this car made 293rwkw with stock ceramic turbos, I looked for this system to suit the 34 cause I like the one on the 32 so much but couldn't find one so am going a custom copy of it

[Torques]

Great then, the exhaust 'sounds' better with each reply.

Now all I have to do is actually buy/win it.

I have a Trust downpipe which is 3'' or 3.5'' (?) and a HKS decat pipe which is the same diameter as the Trust.

Should be a nice fit ..

Would anybody here know what type of gasket I need for the connection of rear muffler to the rest of the system?

The gasket seems to have 4 holes for the bolts, but what would be the diameter?

I searched E-Bay, but no luck so far.

High temp gasket goo!?

yeah thats what I used last time

What turbo you are running will make a massive difference to volume.

For example I am running a stock rear housing highflow 3" all the way with a single rusted out large oval bodied muffler and it is loud but not super loud. My mate however runs a Gt3076r 0.82 with a 3" and a much better rear muffler and a resonator and it is MUCH louder.So just keep this in mind when comparing exhausts.

Imo if stock turbo a single large bodied oval muffler will do the job, if you are going a gt30 sized rear housing then two large bodied oval mufflers are a must.

+1^^

I went from a quiet sedate legalis to a loud droney pos by changing to a large housing turbo, the stock housing will lower the exhaust noise noticeably compared to a .82 or similar.

Not sure if this helps but my mate had super dragers on his TT 300ZX, and it was VERY loud. Sounded great though.

[DTSNR32]

I've got a hks super drager on my 32 and it isn't loud at all. I may go down the path of removing the mid muffler to a resonator to get Abit more sound out of it.

[Rolls]

you are running stock r32 tubo yeah?

[Torques]

Hi there,

I am running a HighFlowed OP6 turbine so nothing too exotic.

When I bough the car it had a HKS system with no middle silencer.

It was a nice sound (for race use), but too noisy for daily use.

.

I did not like the noise and installed the genuine exhaust system back on.

(actually the R34 exhaust, which is slightly bigger)

I have the Super Drager here now and I found it quite heavy (I though it was lighter).

The inner pipe diameter is 76mm (at the CAT) and about 84mm at the rest of the system.

Once I have the missing gaskets and exhaust rubber mounts I will install it.

(Not doing Exhaust--Goo)

The idiotic seller tied the 2 exhaust pieces together with a cable tie, and wrapped 2 layers of refuse bags around it.

That was what he called 'shrink wrap' / good packaging,

So it was metal on metal for the transport via UPS.

Fortunately the rear muffler took no damage, but I spent some hours restoring the exhaust's condition.

Here's the exhaust on an RB25 and the sound seems good:

I am very impressed with the hks super dragger. Even with my new setup its very pleasant to drive

There is gasket sheets you can buy from repco Think its acl from memory just mark out flange on the sheet hole punch the bolt holes out & centre cut the shape with tin snips *Make sure there Sharp*
