Hey guys

I have currently

a 3 1/4inch exhaust with highflow 3 inch cat

CES racing split dump to cat

and a hyper medallion muffler

i went down the quarter as some of you might be aware of

and, i could not hear my car at all, and was relyin on the feel of the

engine when to change .

couple of my shifts were a bit late and lost time .

i was wonderin what would be the best option to get a louder and nice note on my exhaust.

i dont want it heaps loud, so ya can hear me from 5k away .

i have heard most skylines around and they have a nice tough soundin exhaust.

Any help or ideas would be much appeciated.

And would still like to keep it legal, or close too it .

THanks

I have a 3" turbo back (with split dump) and high flow cat with cannon that got me a defect at 98dB. It was very drowny but could hear it all the time. After the hi flow resonator, it was still loud but not drowny in the cabin and then with the silencer, the car runs and sounds like stock (but its removable)

I can send ya mp3's of the car's sound. I'd say the tone is made by the cannon.

I've founded out in cars that I own, not to use SS as it produce more noise in the higher frequency range, and titanium exhaust goes higher. So just the plain old mild steel produces a decent exhaust note with out the associated reverberations of thin metals. I'm currently running a 3.5 to 4 inch exhaust, yes, it weird but It isn't that loud until I really guns it, and then you can point me out from 2 suburbs away, but the things is at idle it's really quiet.

where do ya get the noise testing done.....so is it better to go a stainless steal one or another metal for in the dump pipes??

i want the performance and sound same as bazr33

Give it shit past the cops, i'm sure they will be more then happy to sound test your exhaust, dogs. :P

Why would you floor it past cops, thats asking for trouble in any car, its as if saying im a wanker, please pull me over. Just drive normally, withing the limits, as you should be doing.

anyways, does your exhaust have a flange for just the muffler? jump under the car and have a look, if it does, unbolt it. take it off, and start the carup, see what sort of noise it makes then go from there.

My r33 is a bit loud, not heaps tho, i have a 3" cat back, and from the resonator it goes into 4" pipe inthe the muffler out into a 6" tip, godamn !!!! lol. Its how i bought the car, and sounds nice, i know a dump and hiflow cat will change the sound very little.

But try unbolting ur muffler :blink:

If you are trying to get a louder exhaust to know when to change gears on the drag strip, I think you are barking up the wrong tree.

It is a bit hard with the helmet on, but if you keep a steady on the tacho it shouldn't be too hard. At worst, lash out and buy a shift light.

    • But it's much better to use a freedom unit that has four different possible meanings...
    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
