hey guys, i just put on a new cheapie pod filter yesterday, and now my exhaust is loud again all of a sudden?? do u fink its related with the intake? the only other fing i can think that could cause a noise is maybe a leak in the exhuast?? dunno, how that would happen as i haven't gone over any bumps or anything recently.

my car was nice and relatively quiet after i fixed the exhaust, i didn't drive it for a couple of days, and then yesterday i put a pod on, and now the exhaust is definitely louder than usual, i can hear a bit of the old drone noise i use to get. any ideas?? i was thinking maybe somehow more air is getting in and it somehow effects it.. i dunno, i'm lazy to put the stock box back on to see :P

any opinions?

Only a guess, but sometimes they use fibreglass in mufflers, and sometimes steel wool.

The fibreglass can break up and gradually spew out the back in small pieces, causing an increase in noise. It happened to me once.

Have a look underneath for leaks, and if you cannot see anything obviously wrong, I would suspect your shiny new muffler.

thanks for the reply. just when i thought i had that exhaust at the right noise level. :) i'll get off my ass and take a look under to see if theres anything obvious.

so its got nothing to do with the pod i guess then. was hoping it'd be something easy like that. sure hope its not the muffler.

No not always. Almost always. Take the stock airbox out of your car and throw in a Pod filter, then try and tell me that you didnt notice any differences in noise.

How can a new pod filter make the exhaust louder? Well i didnt say that. Might want to re-read it.

You have never seen this effect. Well the obvious answer to that is that we are talking about sound. So unless you have something real special there, I don't think you can actually SEE sound.

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
