Genie muffler & exhaust volume

[MearCat]

I want to know if anyone has had a exhaust system fitted with a 3" catback sytsem with a Stainless Genie cannon style muffler - from any exhaust place in Perth.

How loud is it? I'd want to get an ehaust that's realtively quiet (read : far below the decibel noise limit) but still flows well.

Please don't start going on about how I should go jap ehausts etc because I'm on limited budget and Quickfit Morley have quoted ~$500 for the above system (mild steel pipe and stainless muffler) which is a good price but want to know whether it's loud or not. Their work is good - I've had exhaust work done there to several cars, including my NA R33, and am happy with the quality.

Hi there. I too got my exhaust fitted by the good people at Morley quickfit.

Dont know if this will help since my 33 is NA, but i got a 2.5" catback system fitted with a

GENIE S/S muffler and well i guess its far from quiet to say the least. After i got a resonator fitted it was a lot better. I love the tone of it now.

Note: I did read that you had work done there on your NA R33 but am assuming it didnt have a genie muffler?

I hope this helps

I got a turbo back with front/dump pipe from Quickfit in Morley and I'm very happy with it.

It is extremely loud.

mexr,

I do have an NA R33 and have just had the muffler replaced last week with a universal 2.5" one and it's too loud - resonates through the cabin really badly at 3000rpm which is driving me nuts :bonk: . I'll be getting a resonator put in this Saturday.

But the reason I'm asking about the Genie system is when I upgrade to a GTS-t I want to know whether that system will be too loud in a turbo. I can't see why there would be too much of a difference in noise whether it's a NA or turbo with the same system. But I don't want loud!!

mexr wat is your exact set up, how big is the muffler in diameter, and wat resonator did u use? i take it the pipe is mild steel as well?

cheers

most NA exhaust systems seem to be loud

[MearCat]

Given that the original jap muffler on my NA was replaced with one which was just over half the size of it, I'm not surprised it's loud though

i have a kakimoto and with a hi-flowcat and front/dump pipe and its still quiet...

kakimotos are built for purrrrry exhausts that sound smooth with lots of flow rather than the angry kinda flame popping exhausts....

*looks at my "angry" flame-popping TRUST 3.5" system*

Ooooohh Yeah (fap fap fap fap)

NA zorst's are always assy to get them sounding nice, this coming from the man who used to drive a 2l NA puss-box with a tin-can-sounding exhaust I just never had it a "nice" note...

[NuGGeT]

wanting get a new zorst on the old n/a r33. any suggestions on mufflers? i'm after a nice quiet pur but beefcake high in the revs big ask oh oh and no drone or tiny noise hahah counts out alot of things. worth a try tho

cant go wrong with twin mufflers people.. nice big flow into each muffler etc keeps flow pretty good with sound pretty low.

*remembers the good old twin muffled r33*
