Turbo diesel`s do they really need mufflers
HI ALL just thinking of removing the muffler from my 3" exhaust anyone done it and got away with it. Ive got patrol 2.8 and its not that loud with a straight through turbo muffler just after more noise and NM`s

Definatly do it. I had straight through 2-1/4 inch pipe from turbo back on my surf and it wasn't crazy loud. The three inch diameter will flow more but i still think it'll be fine... It'll whistle very nicely.
Worst comes to worst you can always get a resonator put back in where the muffler was.
And yes GQ you're right, in a way the turbo acts as a muffler, but only by breaking down the individual pulses of the motor into more of a flowing sound.

no muffler
i ran straight through on my lwb 3.3 td and was great, but using exactly the same exhaust on my swb it was to loud (only 2' of pipe shorter). Put in a short straight through resonator, and quitened it down just enough, and made no noticable difference to performance.
i had my muffler off ... it was a nice note and whislted like mad
was hell loud tho! cause it was dumped straight to the road and echo'd
now i've got a hot dog in to keep it quietish .. till i open it right up

Carts of the board has turbo 2h in his 60 and his muffler fell off one day offroading and he liked the sound of it so he got a straight through part made up from a exhaust shop in castle hill industrial area for 20bucks he bloted it in and it sounds awesome, however he found it a bit loud inside so he has his muffler back in now but always has the option if he wants to unblot and throw in the straight through if hes in the mood every so often
sounds like a semi-trailor though its so nice

mate has a turboed 1hz in a 75 that's ripped the exaust off basically from the turb back, sounds quiet enough untill he opens it up under load... then it's a little roary... but at least something drowns out the simex's. don't know how much boost he runs, but gives HSV clubbies a run for the money, and outdrags 350 chev powered cruisers up hills

Sound`s like the best thing is to get flang`s welded each side of muffler and existing pipe than straight through pipe also with flange`s than I have both. I had a 253 dunny door with 65mm pipe and extrators done at sutho which sounded sweet and a vr dunny with 65mm and extractors done by menai mufflers which was ok for v6. Ile have a word to sutho tomoro about price

Does a turbo diesel need a muffler?
No of course not, but any gain in hp would be marginal anyway, if anything it will just make cool wirring and hissing noises.
Do the police and RTA think you need a muffler on your turbo diesel?
I dont know, drive past one at full pace and see what they think.

I dare you not read this signature.
RTA inspector lives 3 houses up from where i park for work every day im sure ile find out as he has been spoted with tape checking head light hights and looking at my non existent swaw bares
Next time get a tape out and start measuring him up to see how he likes it! If he asks you what your doin, tell him your working out what size box you will need to get for him!

Pfft, do it yourself then, or get a mate to do it.... If you can be stuffed driving all the way to my place on a weekend i'll weld it up for ya. What a crock of shit, as if he hasn't done heaps of dodgy shit on ricers by now.
