hey guys :)

i got an r34 gtr

i just bought a trial titan tryforce 3' catback titanium.

i have a venom 4'' cat and trust front pipes

since fitting it last night, sounds amazing!!!

BUT!!!!!

has an awesome drone from 2700-3100rpm.

has anybody got a titaium exhaust and had the same issue?

its just got a resonator and a cannon muffler, ive heard the idea of stuffing your spare wheel cavity with sound deadening or blankets and stuff like that to stop the drone coming into the cabin, but didnt really work LOL!!

once again it sounds great but annoys me that inbetween those rpm's especially on the freeway when your cruising at 110 and it sits on 3000. :verymad:

anybody got any suggestions :no:

Step 1: sell the titanium exhaust and pocket HEAPS

Step 2: buy a quieter exhaust and have HEAPS of change

Please don't wreck the Ti exhaust by adding some botch job muffler onto it.. Not sure if you realised but DVS JEZ was joking. Stick welding and oxy cutting are probably the messiest way to do anything, and you probably couldn't even do it with titanium.

A decent muffler will weigh more than the entire exhaust TBH.

And of course it'll make it quiet.

If you still want "loud"-ish and less drone you need to sell the Ti system, you'll never achieve both as they always have wafer thin mufflers.

Do what GTScotT said? I had to get rid of my Ti system, couldnt afford a Mine's VX Silence Ti (for the weight) so I got a stainless system, lost 80hp because I went smaller diameter.

But, for the money I sold the Ti system for, I bought the Stainless Fujitsubo, got the Ti removed, new exhaust fitted, dyno tune and pocketted a $150.

Very interested in power/exhaust size ratio. What were you making before you lost 80hp??

How on earth would that help?

noise not only exits the end of the exhaust pipe but also resonates thru the pipe itself, exhaust wrap would act as a silencer as well as keeping up exhaust gas velocity

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
