Hi all,

 

I'm making around 250rwkw in my r33 gtst with a hypergear op6 highflow.

 

My exhaust of right (3 inch system) now is a bellmouth dump pipe, to venom 100cell cat, then straight to a jasma cannon. However the jasma cannon reduces to around 2.5 inch.

 

This setup is fairly loud but not too bad when cruising and light throttle.

 

I want to replace the cannon with a piece of 4 inch straight pipe. Mainly because i want to remove the 2.5 inch restriction, i like the look and i can do it fairly cheap. I don't want the exhaust to be insanely loud or drone heaps. A little louder than now is ok.

 

If i install a hot dog resonator after the cat, will this be enough to reduce noise a bit and keep drone down? Or will i have to install a different type of muffler?

'zactly.  There is a logical limit to how big a muffler under the floor can be.  You obviously need 3" in and out, and it is quite likely that you will need it to be centre-centre because it will be going in in place of a piece of straight pipe.  So your typical oval mid muffle will only be so tall and so-so wide.  Your main degree of freedom is the length, and there will only be so much freedom there.  Get the longest one in the catalogue.

I just checked my exhaust and the way its the piping goes doesnt allow space for a mid muffler.

I also drove the car with a straight pipe (was doing hicas delete so had to drop rear exhaust) just to see how loud it was. Needless to say its unbearingly loud, i got about 20 angry looks even though i drove around at low rpms.

Can anyone recommend me a rear muffler ( preferably dual tip ) that flows well but is quiet?

They will do a twin tip if you ask

I added a photo of a single tip, 4 inch offset in, centre out for reference. Can be made I any length you want.

... they work and they're quiet? An extra $100 is nothing. 

$100 is a fair bit when your a uni student with limited workshifts. And most of the prices i am seeing are around $450.

But i guess you get what you pay for. Ill give them a ring next week.

Or leave it as is. At 250KW you are not going to gain a lot from going to 3in. Save up til you can afford a good muffler.

The main reason i want to change is the drop to 2.5 inch really bugs me and I'm over the look of the cannon.

Not expecting any noticeable performance increase.

Don't cheap out on exhausts.

I spent $450 on a catback once that was f**king awful.  It was so bad I chopped it up with an angle grinder rather than attempting to sell it again.

I added a helmholtz chamber to my HKS system and it super quiet now so you can keep a loud ass cannon still, expensive big mufflers not needed.?

And the pipework looks 3 inch while the his exhaust is 3.5 if I'm right?

 

Was looking at this before but had another idea, joining the end of the chamber the end where it's capped to the actual exhaust (without actually drilling through. Just not sure if it'll still be effective that's all)

 

Saves the hassle of having to find a way to mount the chamber

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on.

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
