I have been tested once and warned twice by the EPA of my exhaust being too loud.

And to be honest I am sick of it's loudness too!

Can any prescribe a quick cheap fix?

I was looking at getting one of these silencer baffle plates which goes at the end of the muffler, are they known to actually quiten the exhaust sound down or is it just a wank?

Apexi ECV (Exhaust Control Value) no cheap tho around $200-$300 plus install.

You can adjust the volume of airflow through your exhaust in cabin (its like a butterfly)

do a search on it, (the are fitting just before the CAT)

but like i said not cheap.

these silencer baffle plates that your referring to will REDUCE the sound of your exhaust & ALSO performance.

if you intend to put on of those silence baffle plates on (don't rev/push your car because it isn't good for your car), you may as well get a STOCK exhaust system.

OR if you intend to use your car daily driver then get one of those silence baffle plates then TAKE it off when you goto track or whatever (i had one of these on my car NOT easy to TAKE off), it came with my apexi n1 exhaust and alot of aussie brand mufflers usually include them these days but are adjustable.

UP TO YOU MY FRIEND>

:rofl:

why don't you just get an exhaust shop to put in a couple of straight through mufflers? my system has 2 x 3in mufflers and it is legal - cost $150 per muffler and didn't hurt the exhaust flow.

one goes at the rear (where you normally see the cannon type mufflers) and the other under the car just in front of the L/H driveshaft.

    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
