S14 RB26 perfect exhaust sound

[rcviani]

Hello everyone

I´m building a S14.5 RB26 single turbo 240SX. I´m going to use a Holset HX35 turbocharger and Megasquirt injection (the best option here in Brazil).

Here´s the thing.. one of the main reasons of choosing the RB26 engine is the sound it makes. Besides all other qualities, of course!

I´m going to make a custom exhaust in 2 weeks and I was wondering if someone could help me.

I know it may sound like I´m 11 years old but I´m looking for something like Brian´s Fast & Furious sound.

I have some examples:

What material should I choose? Stainless steel, galvanized steel? 2,5", 3"? What kind of muffler? Titanium or stainless steel muffler? No cats? No mid silencer??

Please help me.

Thank you so much

Just copy one of the Japanese exhaust systems or buy one. They usally have nice resonator and muffler on them. I have a Apexi GT spec on my RB20 S14, sounds nice to me (on the dyno lol).

sound can be affected my so many things, turbos cams manifolds tuning etc etc... the good thing is RB's sounds great with almost any type of exhaust except open downpipe..

my car is 3.5 in downpipe to 4 inch aluminum 11G tubing mated to a vibrant aluminum race muffler, and it sounds pretty awesome

apexi GT spec will most likely get you the sound you want.
