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.

    • The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.
    • I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
    • Good work Pete and glad the car held up well....been a while since I've seen you try properly
    • Just quick update, I've had tech issues and so a backlog on life stuff....I will pull lap times from the video and data from the ECU logs to do a proper update. But basically, in order of importance: 1. The car was excellent fun on the track, really felt a lot like the good old days. And nice to have AC while waiting 2. Coolant got really hot; again I need to pull and analyse the logs but the standard system is not up to tracking at 30o+ days, once the system was heat soaked after the first 2x15min sessions I could only do 3 laps before it got 110+ and I had to cool down. If I can't improve that it is a deal breaker 3 Oil temps were fine all day, noting it was short sessions due to 2. I think it will likely need work 4 Biggest surprise AT temps were fine, never went over 100, I would have been OK with 120 before I was too concerned. The auto sucks compared to a manual (of course) but it is faster to launch and I just need to downshift it manually before hitting the throttle, then it was OK. When I post the vids you'll hear it telling me off (beeping) for trying to downshift too early (it needs about 3500 before it will downshift, depending on gear a little but we are mostly talking 3/2 and 4/3) 5 A052s were not great which hurt the lap times, but I will be constrained in what I can get in good tyres that fit the wheel wells. These were small for a heavy car at 235/45/18. In theory I can fit 9.5 on front and 10.5 rear (so not square) but I still need 670mm+ high tyres in good brands. 6 Standard shocks/springs/roll bar are too soft for track work (of course), but that was always on the list. And happily, no white on the mat, despite having a teenaged passenger, extinguisher mount was fine. Also, it was nice to have Wakefield Park back in action  . Because the car was so quiet it is eligible for Green Day, which I thought was a band but is apparently a series of cheaper practice days they run with a lower sound limit, that is a smart idea.  
    • 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
