Skyline Is Too Loud (Never Thought I'd Say That)

[iTwix]

Yo people,

My problem is that my R33 gts is way to loud after hooking my external wastegate up. My skyline has a straight through exhaust which is loud itself, but not overly loud. When i hooked the waste gate up it made such a noise that it pissed off anyone within a mile of me, and honestly caugth me off gaurd. Is there any chance it could be faulty or any way of reducing noise through my system? I can't even hear my turbo flutter anymore, and my flutter was super loud. Vid attached (only sound as i can't film while driving + little skid).

Anyone know of any options?

Is your waategate venting to atmo? If u plumb it back into tge exhast it will sound same as it did b4. Personally i love sound of gate and would never go back to normal sounding skuline again lol.

it is plumbed to the exhaust manifold and boost is coming just infront of the cold side of turbo. I like the sound, but everyone else in my neighbourhood + copperdogs don't. after 3-4k rpm sounds like vtec is kicking in (i have a really big turbo). Yeah it's venting to atmo, not downpipe

Haha usually i'd agree with you man, and with a straight pipe i could get away with full boost flutters n shit. I actually had a guy have a shout at me when i went past his house, no idea what he said but he looked pissed.i got 10 demerit points i don't need to popo's attention right now. is there anyway to make the wastegate open in higher revs but keep boost up?

Do you actually know how to help? or are you just insulting people as an excuse to yourself that you're interacting socially?

Go back and ask this guy what he said, then ask yourself what interacting socially is after you get out of hospital, moron.

So you are running straight through pipes and you don't want attention from the police??? Put a muffler on it

Dat cool story, internet intimidation.. please. once again you're not helping, how does it feel to be a literal waste of space?

i've seen a few people in japan pull baffle's out of there muffler and it reduces sound very well, do you know if/where we can get them in aus?

Bro, you're to hectic for me, I know when I'm beat cya.

That actually sounds brilliant! I wouldn't change it!! No booting it in your street is all I can suggest.

plumb the wastegate back into the exhaust and it will be quiet again, are you running a stock turbo cause it sounds like it..

Vent your wastegate to inside your cabin, that way your interior can muffle the noise ...

This will work

Plumb it back into your down pipe. You stated you liked it before doing the external. Pretty much answered your question. Venting to atmosphere always creates more noise. That's why people do it. The turbo flutter inside the engine bay gets attention. There's a guy on here that plumbed his through the hood with a tear drop finish. Looked different.

[chilzzi]

So how do I replicate that awesome sound? External wastegate and that's it?

[Guilt-Toy]

This will work

after a hour or so it will get rid of one less hoon on our streets too
