imo, what does 3m of 2.5" pipe have to do with it when in the end its just into the atmo,

i mean basically having say 4" full exhaust (just to make it plane obvious) thats basically the same as the air being dumped straight into the atmo.. i dont get how it could be easier to have air "sucked out" when it all ends up in the atmo in the end.

Just opening up the exhaust is not necessarily the answer. The extreme would be to remove the exhaust system altogether but, for those of you who have experienced it, if the exhaust breaks near the manifold, all power is lost.

For a normaly aspirated (non-turbo) engine in particular it is important to retain a certain amount of back pressure. The reasons for this are all to do with exhaust scavenging which is to do with negative pressure pulses reflected back up the exhaust manifold to remove the last of the exhaust waste from the engine.

Thats it there. cost about 450 for the muffler, and about 300 for the rest of the install. i do however have a feelin that i got a bit ripped off on the price of the muffler, but i didnt realli mind cuz the bloke rushed me thru and had it all installed in a couple of hours the following day.

The group buy has fallen thru i think. Not enough interest and communication problems with the supplier i think.

my car had an HKS dual dragger when it was imported, far too big and far too loud - absolutely useless, it was more suited to a GTR or GTST...

needed to change it for compliancing so I had a stock exhaust put in (still have it today) and the stock exhaust sounds absolutely CRAP, but it definately isnt quiet.

illusiVe - I've already posted a link to this site in this thread http://www.miata.net/garage/KnowYourCar/S4_Back.html Go and read it and learn all about scavenging

As for my muffler, I have a universal, large bodied, mild steel, 2.5" straight through muffler. Cost me $110 fitted and have proved (on the dyno) that it produces the same amount of power as my old TRUST muffler.

Have spent sometime reading throught this thread, as I have been thinking of changing my current exhaust, to a more straight through system. Currently I have jasma approved system with extractors (6,2,1), 2 1/2" stainless exhaust system with no cat and two very large mufflers (not the straight through sort). I was thinking of putting in a couple of resinators and a straight through type muffler, in the hope that it might improve the flow of exhaust gasses.

A friend sent me this article which I found quite an interesting read, looking into the importance of exhaust gas flow and looks into the back pressure thing too.

what size is the standard NA exhaust?

Mine was 2 1/4 inch from the factory i think. So basicalli you open it up 1/4 of an inch when movin to a 2.5 inch system. The onli thing that realli holds back your exhaust is the mechanical(?) muffler which is meant to baffle sound via redirecting exhaust fumes.

i think thats what the standard muffler is called. It just has the air looping back and forth thru a series of tunnels. if that makes any sense. where as a with a straight through muffler, its just a straight tunnel.

In a standard exhaust then the fumes are "baffled" through a "mechanical" eexhaust and this results in restrictions.

In a straight thru exhaust their is no restrictions to exhaust

nice ascii work [d4rks1d3] hehe.. ;)

check http://auto.howstuffworks.com/muffler3.htm ppl.. some go around in the fashion like d4rk mentioned, some go thru a more 'inline' series of sound absortion material/chambers etc, but the gist of it is the same.

I spoke to an exhaust shop (perf exhaust in ringood) about a muffler today. I told him how I want to go to a quieter (ive got a noisy rev-flow muffler on there now, and 3" pipe from bends to the muffler) one and he said a canon style (round) won't be the ideal one. He recommended an oval style one. Also quoted about 380 for a maganaflow oval one, but im not thinking only maganflow, but any good brand (post if you can recommend) which will quiet it down a bit, but not strangle it (and have _some_ noise when on the throttle).

Cheers :D

      If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s.

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.

      SR20 to cefiro

      By KKaplumbaa · Posted

      Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
