if it was the gearbox it should've done it before the exhaust got fitted.

could possibly be that the exhaust is hitting the body though. might be worth getting under the car to see if it is sitting close to anything. or maybe have someone stand on the side of the road and go past them with it making the noise and they should be able to tell if it is exhaust noise or a rubbing noise

sounds like the typical rb NA drone that becomes very obvious with an aftermarket exhaust, mine will do it still, and ive got a 2.5 inch exhaust with a mid system 2in1 muffler/resonator plus a second resonator and a twin tip muffler

good news is that its easy cured by changing ur driving style, just drive in a gear lower then you normally would and let it rev up a bit (the idea being to keep it above that drony 2 or 2.5 - 3000 range) then get into 5th gear when your done accelerating - unless your in auto? then you might be stuck with it

theres a good write up somewhere on here about rb motors having a "raspy" metalic vibration or rattle sounding exhahust note at a certain rpm range but there nothing actually wrong, mine sounds a bit like this sometimes

I had that tinny crap sound ended up being that my stock nissan catalytic converter was stuffed and broken apart ... (catless and hollowed out cat's are bad for this resonance noise around the 3500- 3700 rpm area aswell )

So to fix that issue

My new exhaust system consists of the following on my R32 N/A RB20DE

Coby 6 into 2 into 1 with 2.5" outlet extractors

3" Catco Highflow catalytic converter

2.5" catback exhaust with single muffler and a canon muffler @ the rear ...

I had that issue really bad before I replaced my cat and found it to be blocked and a week later it broke apart into big chunks and allmost completely blocked up the exhaust flow ... so I pulled it all off and now fixed it all up and sounds really deep and has that good skyline note about it ...

twin cams make this rattle when you put a canon on it, the stock exhaust has a valve that opens and closes to stop this noise. Now you took it off and have a cannon it amplifies the rattle.

I just got a 2.5" rear muffler and 3" tip. The sound is good, but the sound produced rapes my ears in my car too. It sounds fine outside though... I think it's because of the stock Nissan Catalytic Converter...

Any ideas?

Hi wht510,

It was just installed today... I think you're right about the rubber mounts... I think it could be the exhaust leaning into the bottom of the car causing the windows and the whole car to vibrate at certain RPM's.

Before I got this installed, I specifically asked for a nice tone but not enough to get defected. Also not vibrate the car. He suggested that a 2.5" rear muffler would do, and any sort of tip would be fine.

I will take it to another exhaust place to get it checked out tomorrow, Blitz Custom Exhaust (place I got it done) is closed tomorrow :D

I just went to Werribee Exhaust (99 Railway Ave, Werribee, VIC) and they have fixed the problem. The exhaust tip was too close to the bottom body vibrating the whole chassis. They let it down a few centimeters and it's all fixed now. The total cost to fix was $10.00. Muffler sounds nice in the car (windows up/down) and there's no more vibrations.

I hope this helps others with the same problem, especially to the OP.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
