2.5 inch system, any alrger == loss of back pressure and wil cause your car to make shit noises, lose power power and even backfire..

i got stainless sytem made up , but you could got to like autobahn and buy one of their 'drift' tips, for about 150 bucks - go to exhaust place and get then to weld it onto the flange that old one wa son - will sound great - don't know about dyno figures though

Hey guys, my cars a non turbo, and when i looked at the exhaust it was 3" cat back with a lukey muffler and a really nice japanese cannon 4" tip, and i havent noticed loss of power compared to other NA skylines, and it makes a very nice sound when idoling and more when i rev it a bit, but other then that its quiet, it has never once backfired and sounds extreamly good compared to most other NA's and Na skylines for that fact...

Just letting u know this as if you find a 3" exhaust and dont buy it because you hear this and that, im telling u now with my 3" it is absolutly fantastic!!!

Hey guys, i was hoping you could help me out. I've read somewhere here in the forums that some N/A exhausts make a really wierd irritating vibration noise at around 3000 rpm. Thats the case with mine and i can't get rid of it!! I cant stand it anymore. I got the exhaust done well over a year ago, its comprised of custom 2 1/2 inch mandrel bent piping with a magna flow stainless steel 4 inch tip single wall muffler. At first i thought the muffler might be faulty or somewhere in the piping but thats not the case. I'm putting coby extractors and a hi-flow cat on but don't have much faith that it'll eliminate the noise! If anyones got or had the same trouble can you please help me out. I read it was something to do with the cams and timing, is this the case? For the time being i have my stock exhaust bolted on because i got done by the EPA. Cheers guys!

depends on who you know, the quality of the welding and the materials. mild steel, stainless,

titanium...

some places just mix pipes together, not really caring about how low it would sit etc...

other places actually try to make it neat - proper clean welding.

apparently its the resonator mate...

others say it could be the flap that opens up around the 3000 - 4000 rpm mark...

personally i think its the resonator

Thanks mate, yeah i've heard that but mine's pretty much piping all the way through, and i confronted them about that and they said it wouldn't be. Does anyone else have this problem? My mate's is fine however his 33 has an RB20. Has anyone overcome this problem?

hahaha me 2 man...my car sounds poo'd ay...in 1st n 2nd i accelerate as slow as i can so the "gargling" noise dont show and in higher gears i change at about 2500...pisses me off soo bad. i got the magnaflow muffler aswell and the 2.5" how could i eliminate this noise???...i got to get rid of it

I fitted a new Blitz exhaust sytem a few months back, took it off and sold it a week later. Car's N/A and lost too much back pressure, went all sloppy and sad, though I did fit a decat unit at the same time. I decided to keep the decat as it releases more power than just the exhaust, and as I prefer the ferrrari snarl to the big base drum row it's super!

yep got to agree with you , bigger doesnt allways sound better . on my rb30de conversion i have extractors and a 2 1/4 " system with cat converter still in place and one 2 !/4" x 18 " muffler , and sounds great ( yep snarly ferrari type noise ) . mind you when i race it at the drags and salt lake i unbolt it at the extractors flange , sounds equally good but deafening .

still i think the better airflow, the better...also better response thru the rpm range.

Wrong. NA's require a certain amount of backpressure to get throttle response in the lower rev range. (Of course, turbos are a completely different story)

like mearcat and everyone else says.. proper flow is essential to NAs

dyno (max power) dont prove squat for street driving - as cars are dyno'd at very high rpms its the curver underneath is what's imporant

unless u intend to redline shift to go to the corner store.... u will notice a gutless

drive...

im sorry for expressing my own ideas/ position on things Eug, i will withdraw from making comments from now on as that a forum should only follow what you believe is your right and when u dis my rims, kit, car colour or choice i should change that to suit you. sorry for the inconvience.

You can express whatever opinions you want on this forums, but just because we say something that's against your own opinion, there's no point in spitting the dummy and running to mama.

Oh and yes - I think your car should only be white, with a GTR body kit and 18" chrome mags. Nothing else I tell you, NOTHING! So if your car is something apart from this, I reckon you get you little butt into gear and change it! :bahaha:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
