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

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
