2.5 inch system, any alrger == loss of back pressure and wil cause your car to make shit noises, lose power power and even backfire..

i got stainless sytem made up , but you could got to like autobahn and buy one of their 'drift' tips, for about 150 bucks - go to exhaust place and get then to weld it onto the flange that old one wa son - will sound great - don't know about dyno figures though

Hey guys, my cars a non turbo, and when i looked at the exhaust it was 3" cat back with a lukey muffler and a really nice japanese cannon 4" tip, and i havent noticed loss of power compared to other NA skylines, and it makes a very nice sound when idoling and more when i rev it a bit, but other then that its quiet, it has never once backfired and sounds extreamly good compared to most other NA's and Na skylines for that fact...

Just letting u know this as if you find a 3" exhaust and dont buy it because you hear this and that, im telling u now with my 3" it is absolutly fantastic!!!

Hey guys, i was hoping you could help me out. I've read somewhere here in the forums that some N/A exhausts make a really wierd irritating vibration noise at around 3000 rpm. Thats the case with mine and i can't get rid of it!! I cant stand it anymore. I got the exhaust done well over a year ago, its comprised of custom 2 1/2 inch mandrel bent piping with a magna flow stainless steel 4 inch tip single wall muffler. At first i thought the muffler might be faulty or somewhere in the piping but thats not the case. I'm putting coby extractors and a hi-flow cat on but don't have much faith that it'll eliminate the noise! If anyones got or had the same trouble can you please help me out. I read it was something to do with the cams and timing, is this the case? For the time being i have my stock exhaust bolted on because i got done by the EPA. Cheers guys!

depends on who you know, the quality of the welding and the materials. mild steel, stainless,

titanium...

some places just mix pipes together, not really caring about how low it would sit etc...

other places actually try to make it neat - proper clean welding.

apparently its the resonator mate...

others say it could be the flap that opens up around the 3000 - 4000 rpm mark...

personally i think its the resonator

Thanks mate, yeah i've heard that but mine's pretty much piping all the way through, and i confronted them about that and they said it wouldn't be. Does anyone else have this problem? My mate's is fine however his 33 has an RB20. Has anyone overcome this problem?

hahaha me 2 man...my car sounds poo'd ay...in 1st n 2nd i accelerate as slow as i can so the "gargling" noise dont show and in higher gears i change at about 2500...pisses me off soo bad. i got the magnaflow muffler aswell and the 2.5" how could i eliminate this noise???...i got to get rid of it

I fitted a new Blitz exhaust sytem a few months back, took it off and sold it a week later. Car's N/A and lost too much back pressure, went all sloppy and sad, though I did fit a decat unit at the same time. I decided to keep the decat as it releases more power than just the exhaust, and as I prefer the ferrrari snarl to the big base drum row it's super!

yep got to agree with you , bigger doesnt allways sound better . on my rb30de conversion i have extractors and a 2 1/4 " system with cat converter still in place and one 2 !/4" x 18 " muffler , and sounds great ( yep snarly ferrari type noise ) . mind you when i race it at the drags and salt lake i unbolt it at the extractors flange , sounds equally good but deafening .

still i think the better airflow, the better...also better response thru the rpm range.

Wrong. NA's require a certain amount of backpressure to get throttle response in the lower rev range. (Of course, turbos are a completely different story)

like mearcat and everyone else says.. proper flow is essential to NAs

dyno (max power) dont prove squat for street driving - as cars are dyno'd at very high rpms its the curver underneath is what's imporant

unless u intend to redline shift to go to the corner store.... u will notice a gutless

drive...

im sorry for expressing my own ideas/ position on things Eug, i will withdraw from making comments from now on as that a forum should only follow what you believe is your right and when u dis my rims, kit, car colour or choice i should change that to suit you. sorry for the inconvience.

You can express whatever opinions you want on this forums, but just because we say something that's against your own opinion, there's no point in spitting the dummy and running to mama.

Oh and yes - I think your car should only be white, with a GTR body kit and 18" chrome mags. Nothing else I tell you, NOTHING! So if your car is something apart from this, I reckon you get you little butt into gear and change it! :bahaha:

    • Hi Rob It's a nistune ecu. Yes same shop, good reputation. Apparently the computer on the dyno is compensated for temperature.    Chris was saying that the lean or richness of the mixture would be covered in the actual tune, but he's already picking up in advance that it's under what it should be. Regards the dyno, it's also noticeable on the road. But I just want to add something that has just come in, it appears there might be something in the setup of the external wastegate. In the exhaust manifold there is a centre divider between the front three and rear three cylinders. The external wastegate has a pipe from each side that join at the wastegate. Theory is those two pipes just might be pypassing that divider and introducing a problem somehow. Is anyone familiar with the divider in the exhaust manifold and the effects if the two wastegate pipes were to create a bypass path? Thanks for your questions Rob, interested in your thoughts on this external wastegate bypass theory. Regards Rob
    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly
