De cat rb26dett

[Matty George]

Hi guys.  I live in the nanny state of Victoria unfortunately,and was wondering if I decat my r32 will it exceed the legal decibel levels? In running a kakimoto catback.Thoughts..

You have a Kakimoto and you are worried about db limits?

[Matty George]

It’s reasonably quiet with the cat. It’s jasma approved so it’s current under the limit with the cat.....

I wouldn't decat a street car which is what I assume you have if you're concerned about dB limits. Decatted cars are obnoxious to be behind.

It's already over the limit. Decatting will do nothing for performance, I have *four* cats in my car and removed them all for testing and picked up exactly 0kw.

Catalytic convertors or felines?

[Kinkstaah]

Har har, yes I did infact mean four catalytic converters ?

[Matty George]

Sweet thanks for the feedback. Was not really about performance for me more about the meatyGTR note I can extract from a decat kakimoto ????

Do this in Victoria. Please do it. Then report back what a toilet brush up the arsehole feels like for those of us who might want to know, but aren't willing to find out personally.

[Matty George]

Ha ha GTSboy that’s why I’m asking. Victoria is a miserable place to own a GTR

I've been trying to find the fine for not having a working emissions equipment on your car in Vic, after downloading a bunch of PDFs, including a gazette (dafunk?), still no answer.

BTW, I have a HKS Hi-Silent cat back on my R32 (standard/compliant cat), it's no where near quiet! It's probably 90dB when cold (not happy, damn HKS).

Might be my old age, but why would you want a loud arse car for street? Annoy everyone? Get headaches? I guess if you drive it for a few kms a year it doesn't matter.

tl;dr enjoy what you have, or get an X-force varex so you can control the [action]sound levels.

[Matty George]

Hey Nismo, your right I only drive it about a dozen times a year. The kakimoto has a good note, but was wondering how much more groan the straight through would be. Think I’ll stick with the cat and not risk bringing heat to the car??

Which kakimoto zorst is it? I have regu06&R which has an inbuilt step restrictor in the rear muffler

use a torch into your rear tip to confirm, I removed mine with Dremel and zorst note was noticeable throaty even on idle
