I need some advise I am going to get a muffler fitted and maybe a extra one. All that I have on the skyline at the moment is a 3" straight from the turbo to the back. It's too loud. What do you recommend to put in. Also I don't want it too quiet

Can you weld? Do you have a welder?

I had 3" turbo back with cat and 3" straight through muffler and was fine.

Changed to bigger turbo and it was terribly loud. Replaced muffler to bigger one and fitted 3" resonator inline. It's now bearable but on long drives my kids get headaches in the back. Not loud enough to attract attention unless heavily accelerating/decelerating

This is what i was gonna say, weld in a resonator and muffler

Great minds think alike?

It's missing a cat too. I can weld but I don't have the tools available here so I'll just take it to the shop. I'll ask them to fit a muffler and a resonator. What brands are you guys running. I don't know if I can be bothered with a cat

I ebayed muffler and resonator separately. Then got a shop to put it all together.

Get a metal intake pipe... You won't care about exhaust note when spool sounds heavenly and twice as loud

Agreed, but its convenient for cruise tuning.

I'd rather egt than wideband

I wouldn't know... But it's basically just subtle advertising dressed up?

True, its hard to find something that is accurate. I find cars that are tuned on dynos can be reli rich and they use wide band. Iv seen cars with on board wide bands show 11 and a dyno centre show 12 doesnt seem like alot but it is

I tried 2 cheap EGT's on my ute that both failed quickly. Got one from an industrial engine used in mining applications.

Apart from being built stronger it reads up to 100C differently
