I find that my current exhaust is too noisy, especially at idle.

I'm very keen to get a titanium ARC exhaust but I'm a bit confused with all the pipe/tip size options.

I'm looking for one that's not too noisy at idle but comes alive when you step on it.

Has anyone had much expirience with these and what are your suggestions?

Thanks

Michael

Why not throw another muffler into it? I am currently doing that to mine right now. The exhaust sounds great but down low it is a little noisy for me so I am going to put a 3rd free flowing barrel muffler into it.

can the drone be fixed with another muffler or is it more to do with the zorst design and metal??

Michael, how about you start by telling us what exhaust system you are running at the moment?

If you want quiet, I would suggest either a Kakimoto Regu 06&R, or one of the new Blitz systems.

I have got HKS dump pipes, HKS front pipe and a Kakimoto exhaust.

I have got this terible drone around 3000 revs that is acctually affecting my hearing.

When I spoke to Beer Barron couple months ago about this problem he suggested an ARC titanium exhaust as one of the best.

According to RMS motorsports 80mm main pipe ARC titanium exhaust would be the least noisy option but I wanted to get some opinions before spending over $4000 for it.

I was very interested in which Fujitsubo exhaust Johhny had since their Titanium exhausts have decibel levels close to or just above the stock R34 GTR exhaust decibel levels (at least according to their website) but unfortunatelly his reply to me got erased by someone.

I'm aware that there a many previous topics addressing the exhaust noise/note but I was specifically interested in ARC Titanium exhausts hence the new topic

Hey man, Id hate to see you get an exhaust like a titanium one and wind up with a drone + over legal db levels thats why im keen on you getting the same exhaust as mine; i even have the test sheet (done 5 times) at 87db@5000rpm

I had a race cat in before i went for the full test and hit just over 90db; think it was 91db so still close to legal but i put back in a high flow cat for the 87db run.

My reply before was that i dont know much about model numbers for r34 gtrs in the fuji range but im more than happy to take a photo of it so maybe some1 could shed some light.

Info i can give now is tha it is s/s with a large rear muffler and a mid muffler which fits nicely against the body...hence no scraping and it passes well above 100mm from the ground even with my nismo s-tune suspension

Hope that helps man, let me know if u need any more info

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
