Hey Waz,

The rear shot looks awesome mate, and thanks for the write up about your new exhaust. It's something I've been thinking of since I got my R36 last week! Are you able to record the sound from idle to mid RPM to high RPM for us R36 owners considering something like this?

Thanks Waz
Cheers
Chris

sorry mate but i don't have the equipment, time, or patience to record sounds at different RPM

perhaps chat to the guys at Muffler Man on Malvern rd, Prahran for some advice

For anyone who is interested, i have just had both rear mufflers replaced with magnifiers and had the suitcase muffler removed. Little drone, very good exhaust note - a definite recommendation.

Magnifiers?

More drone than Oem?

[RECRUT]

If the standard exhaust has 10% drone. This set up is probably 25% drone.

It sounds like an R32 but louder.

[XXX-1.8T]

Oem= no drone

So this Set up = drone

Drone = fail

R32 has no drone

Now the search begins for a nice carbon diffuser (aka C63 style) to go with the tips.
Not sure if one exists though...

Hi Waz,

Long time no speak. Exhaust looks good. I hope you liked Mufflerman as he was pretty helpful for me.

The EVOM airbox is great, sounds great and with exhaust on its improved the rear end baffling aswell. Might start to look at changing suitcase muffler to remus mid muffler and see how it sounds.

There is a rear diffuser like C63 through carshine Tullamarine (Oetinger brand) The only thing is, unless you do the full kit it will stand out too much making it look like Honda Accord Rice burner. hehehe

I got 19inch BBS style rims on the wagon which im looking to change over if you are interested?

Cheers

seems to be mixed feelings towards the delete. I had mine done at the muffler man in prahran too and they're great! Not sure about the delete though.

Pros: louder, nice crackle at back when revved

Cons: Drone! Massive droning at 2100rpm to 3200 rpm. Almost cant talk in the car. and for a car that is meant to be a little more elegant i feel this drone is corrupting its character :s

Overall I'm growing used to it but i think I'll reinsert the suitcase with a remus or something later down the track. Valve control is also a must in my opinion if you are getting an exhaust.
