all u can do to reduce it is get a resonator, unfortunately it reduces the loudness factor in of ur exaust in general it does get rid of the aweful resonance, i have a resonator off a V8 commodore, it has 0 restriction and has almost totally eliminated the noise, it pretty much only does it when the car is cold now. On the plus side it gave the care really really deep note.

This noise got me defected yesterday, i knew it would happen, i was surprised i lasted this long with the noise. I might investigate into a full catback system now.

A v8 resonator hey??, might request for that aswell, i am over huge noise, im all for performance now.....as much as my na will provide anyway. Start with cat back, move onto cat, then incomes the extractors.

yep, they reckon they use it on the newer v8 commies and fords, he gave it too me for free cause he felt sorry for charging me for a new cat and it didnt even fix tghe problem, or if they know about it, ask for the resonator they use on twin cam corollas apparently these work even better.

My car does this as well, did it with stock exhaust and still does it with 2.5" cat back exhaust with TRUST stainless steel muffler (no resonators or additional mufflers).

As others have said seems to be worse when the car is cold, pisses me off cause I rev real slow leaving my street and it makes the noise around 2500rpm, sometimes I shift as soon as I hear the noise start cause I think it sounds sh*t.

Only ever does it around 2500rpm-3000rpm never high in the rev range.

Took it to exhaust shop the other day who installed my cat-back but he had NFI what it would be. He got under the car while I revved it but it didnt make the noise (I think it only does it when the car is under load).

It's embarressing when it makes that horrible noise!

Do you think it's worth getting a resonator put in?

I have no idea what this "noise" is, I'm going to try upload a sound file of my gts, tell me if this "noise" is there...

hmmm the file is 40mb lol... How can I make it smaller.. it's a video and soun file.. you don't really need to see the video part tho...

Putting a decent resonator on your system eliminates it completely and as NA_33 said, although it becomes a bit quieter it sounds much deeper. I can relate to what all of you guys are saying, it kicks in around 2500/3000 rpm and makes an awful crackling/vibrating noise. I to was embaressed changing gears b/c the sound was that awful! Trust me, all you need is to put a good resonator in the piping, you'll be thankful.

I know its an old thread but if anyone is reading Id highly suggest a resonator. A single muffer and cat will always sound awful on an NA car, a good muffler with a good quality resonator will really bring out the awesome note with out the horrible raspy/cackly noise.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
