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.

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
