How Nosiy Is A Hks Super Dragger?

[AngryRB]

sounds like a nice meaty RB note, be interesting to see how much it drones..

[GotsWapan]

My super drager was buggered in the cannon, all rusted and crumpled some how.. Causing a restriction enough to hold back a 12psi actuator to 8.5psi. Cut it open cleaned it out so its hollow but its very droney now lol

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.

Thought long and hard about doing this to mine as well.. but it is nice not being stung every time I get to take it for a drive.

The chicks love the quiet exhausts. Then they think they can talk the whole time ur driving

[Torques]

LOL

Not only chicks,

I like to hear my turbo and whether the engine is pinging.

Also it is nice to listen to the radio.

A noisy exhaust doesn't cut it .. nor does a dump-valve

Just to recap on the topic

I installed the exhaust and it is quite loud

There's a heavy low rpm drone which is more behind the car than in the car.

I got a lot of angry looks from people at bus-stations (if you know what I mean)

It's a bit much for city driving, and I will try to get the drone down with one of these mini silencers.

I suspect the exhaust is so noisy since I have no CAT installed ...

Its noisy cause there practically no muffler, a rear cannon like that will do nothing if its straight thru.. its not much different to having just a straight thru pipe on the end...

I used to have the exact same on the back, now i got a proper muffler and still make the power and it actually sounds alot nicer..

a cat and a middle resonator/small sized muffler will help out a lot.

[Torques]

Which muffler did you get?

I found this one ...

Maybe worth a try (I'd get it cheaper)

a cat and a middle resonator/small sized muffler will help out a lot.

[AngryRB]

i cant say if that one will help much, i would guess it wouldnt cause it looks smallish...

I have a 3 1/2inch system with hotdog resonator and a 3inch X force muffler ( large oval) , the muffler is semi straight thru and forces the exhaust into it to muffle the noise , but obviously its flowing great cause it made well over 300kw..

I think you would be happy with a similar setup, it has a nice muffled , tough note thats quiet enough to hear your radio without dronning. can hear it in my thread on the dyno...

on my GTT i had a Hypergear OP6 Highflow and a R33 Super Dragger , R34 is slightly shorter, so it only needed a little modifications. Mine was very quiet, running a CAT obviously (you're stupid not to) and i THINK there was maybe another section in there that's different to yours.

when idling i'd get people asking me if my car was on - but had a nice note, didn't drone and flowed well enough for the situation.

[Torques]

Thanks,

I removed the CAT 3 years ago, it's common practice here since (older) JDMs can get away with it.

(Removing that CAT actually made a big difference, so why is that stupid?)

Also my car was tested for emissions recently and it was all to plan, no complaints.

However I am considering getting a high cell count CAT.

I am certain that would also solve the noise issue ..

must of had a silencer somwhere.. cannons will never be quiet.. not like that..

put a high cell cat and you'll take some edge of it, better off with a 100cell cat or no cat, and a good sized oval proper muffler, semi straight thru

[Adz2332]

Suprised, seeing the pic.. as the one im about to put up for sale has a small box.....

And it wasnt to loud or drowny at all.

actually sounded good!!

[NYTSKY]

A cat will reduce the noise alot.

[Torques]

Hi,

What small box do you mean?

Do you have any pictures?

Yep, I agree a 100%, cannons will always be on the louder side.

(especially when they are 3.5'' in diameter)

As for the CAT if I could find one with a 3'' flange that would be great.

The standard CAT is just 60mm (3''=76.2mm)
