Resinator Removal..good or bad?

Well coming from an audi with 2 1/4 inch piping and one straight through muffler and some big tips... with an awesome 5cyl "boxter/V8" burble.... 110db+ :D

to

a R32 with 3.5inch piping..HKS super dragger and some massive resinator half way down it is so quiet...

so im thinking of getting the resinator removed (like i did with the audi) so i can have the mad straight 6 sound....

Im not worried about coppers atm because i NEVER got pulled over in my audi (loud, dark tint and sitting on its ass)

Anyways im kinda worried about farking the turbo or something without enough back pressure.....

Would the removal of the resinator mess anything up or ruin anything?

The car puts out 120kw at the rears on stock boost with pod and exhaust... shall i expect a power gain or loss???

sorry for the long post but i just didnt want to get screwed around by workshops..

thanks

Yes you can remove it, It will make the car louder which creates more attention by the cops. You wont stuff you'r turbo if anything you'r helping it by give it better air flow though the exhaust and stopping back pressure which causes loss in hp.

hahaha i know...

already had snapneck from coppers.... lots of it......

its so funny though... eg...coppers drive past me pulling out of side street and cop passenger has snapneck looking at my car....

pull up at lights next to them... cop is looking at me and having llook at my car....

i look at officer..."good evening officer happy new year"... copper smiles and waves and drives off.... hahahahahaha

One more thing...

would it be better to get the straight through pipe clamped on or welded?

normally i had mine welded but clamped would be eaiser for ME to change if i got busted.... i dont know how it would hold up though?

thanks

I did exactly what you are thinking of doing and seriously, back to back dyno runs, i gained maybe 1 or 2rwkw but that could also come down to tempartures, better fuel, anything. I've actually got mine booked back in to have my centre resonator refitted tomorrow as I prefer it quiet. Saying that, 12psi+ boost and WOT and it howled like a banshee being burnt at the stake. Loved it :) but personally prefer to not have the extra attention.

Yeh i enjoyed being fast and quiet.

One thing to remember if your removing your resonator is to have a good muffler, otherwise it will sound really shit

I dont mind the noise so much, but ill be putting a new resonator on before selling the car in the future thats for sure :)

Just got my car back from exhaust shop putting my centre muffler back in. BEST MOVE EVER. I love it, it's so quiet, it makes no noise except the engine & turbo. All you can hear is the turbo spoolin followed by a "woosh" of the BOV. Love it :D :D :D

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      Also did some work to the shed and a massive clean out of stuff. It's now got a small fab/dirty room and has helped keep shed cleaner. Built some new work benches and re organised things also got a TV out there so good having something playing while working on the cars. Got a pedestal drill and linisher off a mate that need to pick up too.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      First thought, have your current injectors flow tested. If they test fine, keep the diagnostics going. It's not the injectors. If the injectors are the issue, find some new or used (cleaned and flow tested) injectors.  While I really love a good excuse to get a modern ECU installed, just needing new injectors probably isn't a good enough reason to do so.

      A bit from column A, B and C. Mainly C   Update time, after deciding it was time to tick off a bucket list goal I finished up full time at MSR and have gotten back behind the wheel and making progress on the S15. Goal has been to drive Bathurst at an event and I have had my entry accepted for Challenge Bathurst in November. Since I don't want to go unprepared I need it running to test and get comfortable.  Been chipping away at it and started by stripping inside, getting it all cleaned and sealing some holes up. With stripping inside I removed the whole wiring loom and found a few surprises.......... its pretty butchered and shit branching and I'm not a fan of the haltech fuse boxes so it's all out and trying to come up with a plan to rewire it all either new fuse/relay box or pdm.  I haven't been happy with how I did the intercooler mounting and been wanting to tuck it up under rad support. O e issue with that is headlights will need a decent trim or get replacement covers. Took the time to mount it with some stand off's and new hardware. Stands are some m8 button bolts, washer, aluminium tube and factory radiator top mount rubbers. It's nice and solid also stiffens rad support which still requires some trimming. Bonus of factory rad mounting is used all factory hoses just need to weld a pressure cap to radiator now. Got sensor block and fuel filter mounted. Plan today is to get vac lines all sorted with push in nylon tube and design oil cooler mounting solution.  Been driving BRZ a heap and went out to Morgan Park for time attack and went pretty well for a wet day. https://youtu.be/gAlQgcQpWj4?si=kojOAOjhhX_X3AXR Getting pretty comfortable in it now and want to do a few more bits to it but restraining myself as don't need 2 race cars at the moment.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @sunsetR33 There is obviously a huge culture gap here. There is nothing in place like this in Australia, where if you fit a Mines branded pipe and later replace it with a Jun branded pipe, both pipes are essentially identical - BAM - huge penalties! Where is the Mines pipe?? You can't have a Jun pipe when you said you had a Mines pipe!  Makes no sense to me. Surely makes no sense to anyone else here either.  I'm sure a lot of us would agree that our registration/engineering system is pretty stupid at times, but it's not that stupid.  *** More serious question here. If you replace a factory rubber hose with a silicone hose, is the car illegally on the road now? Does it become legal if you have certification of what brand the silicone hose is? Then would it become illegal again if you replaced that silicone hose with a difference brand of silicone hose? And then would it become legal again if you had certification of the new brand of silicone hose?  I really want to know that answer to that question.

      Good you making progress with this rig. Aluminium welding is painful to learn, have you got a pedal as I found it so much easier with one. If that's the AMG I think it is, you would working with Benny?
