how long have u had the car tho coz the older the exhaust gets the louder it can become as my m8 found out who got epa'd a while back n it was fine then this time last year he got pulled over at the springnats n he got done for having a too loud exhaust...

so he made some crazy thing that he shoved in his exhaust to quieten it down just for the epa test to say that he fixed it and away he went with a quiet exhaust untill he pulled the silencer out!! no one's picked him up for being to loud since then

Good timing... my exhaust failed my car getting Engineered for the 2nd time today. Ive got the standard dump pipe on the Rb20 turbs, then a 3" front pipe, 2.5" cat (not punched out), which then goes via a 2.5" system to a middle muffler/resonator and finally to my end can. Ive even put a flange in with metal welded into the middle of it and it still wont pass.

Im thinking... 1.25" standard Series 3 Bluebird mufflers are going in so the car is super silent and drives like a slug.

Mines got 3" straight through. No resonators, no mufflers, not cats.

Which is why its not registered yet.

Its seriously a deafening roar. Heap heaps louder than my 13B extend port rx7, which is why its not registered either :D

BTW. Anyone got a "legal" exhaust 4sale?

How is the exhaust when you cruise around? Does it drone in the car a little?

I have a full 3" system with a large straight through rear muffler and a large middle resonator.

Its loud on WOT but cruising and light acceleration is very quiet I think.

Driving next to the car (my other half driving) with my window up I can't hear the car.

I was in quick fit in hornsby today getting some stuff done to the ceff. I scoped out a full 3" system, inc dump / high flow cat for $1500 installed (and epa untouchable).

He was a nice enough guy, as soon as I told him I knew a few other ceffy / silvia / cefiro owners he got even nicer i'm sure i could sort out a group price if a few people were keen...

I'm not keen at $1500 just yet, but if we could get it down to around $1200 - 1300 I'd go through with it in a month or two...

      Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.

      I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine

      Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me

      Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
