Hey,

Ive got a cat back exhaust only with cannon on my r34 Auto. IM considering upgrading the whole system to a turbo back, but im worried on doing this.

The reason why, is with this current exhasut the car sounds great, but while cruising at liek 80 plus and highway speeds etc, the car has a really loud droneing exhaust tone..

im not sure if this is because the autos are only 4 speeds, making the car rev higher causing the drone, or its the exhaust..

Basically, any guys with r34 autos or just mechanical minded people who know anything abot this, please offer their experiences or how to fix it?

any help would be fantastic

thanks in advance

Bryn

easy fix, do the whole exhaust as per normal, 3" dump pipe and front pipe, 3" hi flow cat, and just replace the canon muffler with an oval 3" muffler. this is the only way to get rid of the droning noise. its just a inherant quality of the canon. and oval muffler will be quieter but still perform just as good.

ah i see, so something more like this is better

or have i missed the idea?

Why is it thought that this happens? and will it remove teh drone all together or just reduce it?

p,s thanks for the fast reply

you are correct in what you show me. thats exactly what you will need. it removes the drone noise to a point where you can barely here it cruising, but give it a kick in the pants and you can here it a little.

y does it happen? coz there is more room in an oval muffler, so quitens down a bit, with a cannon you might as well just have a straight pipe, thus the drone.

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
