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 :)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
