Ok so I have a B13 with the Curtsey Exhaust and a 3rd gen HS header. I
recall someone modifying the muffler to quiet it down but have searched the
archives and cant find any information regarding this post. The mod
consisted of a pipe that went inside of the muffler that had holes drilled
in it. I am really sick of the noise level (drone) and the tip on this
system. I am ready to make drastic changes. I am looking for advice here
especially anyone who may have modded this set up.
1) Is there an easy resonator modification that can be done?
2) Is there a nice stainless tip or dual tip I can weld on the Curtsey
muffler after I cut off that silly large tip?
3) Is there a much nicer muffler I can buy cut off the Curtsey muffler and
weld on the new unit? If so any advice on the hangers?
TIA for any advice! I have next week off so I am really interested in
getting this figured out soon so I can take the stuff to a good wielding
shop (where they can wield stainless steel...)
A second motivation is that I have the car apart right now while I am doing
the clutch (Jim Wolf PP , Organic) .. Any while your in there advice? I
thought about the 5th gear kit but that is a lot of green for a problem my
car does not currently have. A Nissan mechanic told me you can turn fifth
gear around to wear on the other side does this make sense? I have not
opened up the transmission and unless 5th gear is a strait cut gear it just
doesnt make sense to me..
Also is there a trick to the front main seal if I get that adventurous and
tackle that? I dropped the trans out the bottom and the engine is currently
on a jack I love this list but I rarely post I just thought I should
mention that for what ever reason.
Later,
