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 :down:

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.

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..

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.

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 :D - but had a nice note, didn't drone and flowed well enough for the situation.

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

Hi,

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)

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
