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

Pic of midori front pipe..

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 :)

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
