Your original post said resonator?

So take it back to the shop and ask them to make it quieter. if you haven't scratched it up they may take it back and do a deal with a different setup.

My setup is 3" bell mouth dump to a catco ceramic, then to a large straight through oval, then it steps up the 31/2" to the cannon. tested at 88db.

nah sorry i have a small muffler thats it.

how would they make it quieter though? i have been told many times the japanese mufflers are way quieter than the rest. I put a hurricane muffler on my car before and it was barely quieter than my current cannon.

They're the experts, they should be able to give you a couple of options. My cannon and oval are SS jasma, not sure on brand as they were second hand, but they seem like they are well made, with nil restriction or step-downs.

maybe they can put on a resonator/hot dog? so ill be running cat, resonator, muffler and cannon...i only got a cat back system...will adding a resonator restrict any power? btw its N/A

otherwise im just gonna get a silencer

Resonators and hotdogs are just pipes with bulges in them, and really only effect the tone of the sound.

Just take it back and ask them what can be done.

Turbo it. That will make it quieter.

i am at the end of the year. In less than a month i got checked twice to see if my car was turbo by the cops..and if it was then that was $2000 out of pocket and loss of license for 6 months

i will tomorrow and let u know how it goes. To be honest, i dont like the way cannons look on skylines...i want my old muffler back but he threw it in the bin LOL im gonna have to ask him to get it back for me because i had a oval tip on that lolololool

You need a two and a half inch exhaust from front pipe back a muffler after the cat and a resonater at the rear before the tip. Its simple as .Don't go any bigger or you will lose power with an na. :-)

That depends a bit on the type of resonator. Some just have a pipe with holes in it (like a normal muffler), but a decent one will have the holes that are pulled down into the pipe to direct the sound up into the muffler packing more. They make a noticeable difference to volume. The missus sss pulsar just has 1 of those (about 18" long) and a straight through 2" oval muffler and it isn't that loud at all. When I first installed the system I just tried it with the rear muffler only and it was LOUD.

    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
    • Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)
    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
