Hi flow cat - Power

Mandrel bent - Power

a good cat back - Power

Muffler - +10 on wanker scale and louder..

and yes.. mufflers are included on cat backs..

Personally.. go the second of your options.. i.e. Hi flow cat (may now have MASSIVE benefits on a low power NA car).. mandrel bent 2.5" and a muffler.. this it would suite your wants best

dont know much about Xforce products.. or their quality..

Best to do research.. Save and get good quality (like coby) headers.. a full manderl bent 2.25 - 2.5" exhaust.. cat.. and muffler..

  • 1 year later...

didn't want to start another new thread on a worn out topic so i thought i'd re-use this one

i've just had a new intake and full exhaust put on my car. picked it up this morning from my mate after i've come back from a weeks holiday.

driving the car home 20mins has left my head feeling numb and ears ringing from the loudness and the drone.

the full exhaust comprising of HPC Coby's, high flow cat, custom mandrel SS 2.5" exhaust, oval muffler with twin tips for factory look. I'm seriously regretting it at the moment and want my factory exhaust back on.

it's been suggested to me to put an oval resonator in but i'm not sure if that alone will be enough to quieten the noise and remove the drone. i'm also thinking a new muffler as well.

so i seeking some help from those who have actually had this dilemma and what did you do to fix it?

Reggie.

Ive got a 2.5" catback mandrel bent exhaust custom made.

cant even hear it on idle, but it begins to roar after 3000rpm.

i LOVE it because people are astounded about the difference between how quiet it is during idle, and how nice the grunt is at high rpm.

going to get a new high flow cat soon...not sure If i want to buy Xforce though...

Reggie ive got a resonator on mine, works a treat.

p.s. mine droned quite a bit for a few weeks....so give it sometime and see if it quietens down after a while...

When I was talking to one of the guys at Rob Bliss Exhaust a few months back, he said that oval barrel twin tip on an N/A will drone and they haven't been able to get rid of that drone. Seems like it's a characteristic of that muffler.

I was thinking of going for the twin tip factory look as well when I end up doing my exhaust, but the noise I guess will offset that factory like side of it. You could always get a factory twin tip of a GTR, that should flow plenty for an N/A and keep things quieter.

when i first put the 2" system on the SSS i only had a lukey muffler on the rear and it was noisey as hell but sounded great. the guys fitting it got me to take it for a spin round the block to see if i wanted to quiten it down. i took it for a spin, and as much as i liked the sound i knew that mr policeman would bend me over and insert his nightstick into a certain orrifice if i left it that loud, and also on trips it would piss me off, so we put eith a 12 or 14" resonator (hotdog style) in the centre and it made it much better. although it did lose a bit of bark.

so a resonator alone won't be enough to tone down my exhaust volume and drone?

i.e. get it under the legal db level?

i found a hot dog keeps it down nuff long as ya aint got a cannon on the back lol, though it does drone quiet abit but tis bearable :P... mild steel defo ova stainless tho!!! hahaha less ya want it 2 sound like a tin can

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
