point was, this 'design' doesn't result in a drone

you could sell your exhaust and buy a Midori one - they also have another version with some sort of extra resonator or something as well, bit quieter.

But you'll need a muffler, so your choices are cut and weld or get a new one

yes, it's a Midori exhaust

Where did you source the midori exhaust from?

Here we go...

http://volvospeed.co...ne-elimination/

An old timer retired 80 yr old mechanic around the corner from me suggests that before trying on the wrap, obtain a tuning fork and whilst a mate is revving your car at around the 3000rpm mark, you place the fork at certain spots along the exhaust.

Wherever, the tines vibrate madly, the wrap can go on at those spots.

Well it won't cost much to try.

Meanwhile as Ash alluded to, I have a decent muffler on my Fujitsubo Ti system and...

JEZ says, it's quiet as...

...and there's no drone.

im running a ganador racing titan titanium cat back and a rsr front pipe and no drone what so ever. Its very quite below 4k rpm, Above 4k rpm and it sounds like the world is about to end! Im picking up a titanium midori front pipe this week for some extra scream :yes:

If you want that unique titanium sound without the drone looks like you might have to go a system like mine or daniel's

^ are the RSR pipes equal length like the Mines front pipes? are you going the 90mm Midori pipe? Ti or SS? i'm thinking of changing, but would love to hear the difference. Poss organise a time to have a listen?

Andrew, exhaust came with the car (as well as about every single other Midori item :D)

Drone is fixed with hemholtz chambers or branch resonators. Its math and physics, not guessing. OEMs do it, you should too.

Ah lucky mofo :P

I'm trying to decide between a full custom 3.5" stainless exhaust or one of those midori titaniums...

Hey mate no the rsr pipes look like this..

And the midori pipes are titanium 90mm. I recently bought them of the forum and should have them arrive this week. The motor is out atm but everything should be put back and tuned up by chasers end of this week/early next week. Would love to meet up. PM your number and will definitely organise a time for a listen

Are these an equal length design? I cant find much info on them that states what design they are. I bought them more hopefully for the sound, even though I have never heard them before or know how different it will sound to the rsr pipes I already have lol

I have a racepace 90mm on my 32 gtr. So quiet.

BUT it's mild steel and so heavy compared to these Ti systems.

To the OP, what is the criteria that you are looking for?

1. lightness

2. quiet

3. sound of ti

In order to help we need to know what your priorities are. I want quiet so saving 5kg isn't a biggie for me, and that can be had easily by changing over seats etc or removing the space saver...

Cheers for the help,

Im not fussed about weight, TI sound would be good... But im just after getting rid of the drone it has and making it a tad quieter as its a bit louder than what I thought it would have been.

Cheers :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
