Hey,

Ive got a cat back exhaust only with cannon on my r34 Auto. IM considering upgrading the whole system to a turbo back, but im worried on doing this.

The reason why, is with this current exhasut the car sounds great, but while cruising at liek 80 plus and highway speeds etc, the car has a really loud droneing exhaust tone..

im not sure if this is because the autos are only 4 speeds, making the car rev higher causing the drone, or its the exhaust..

Basically, any guys with r34 autos or just mechanical minded people who know anything abot this, please offer their experiences or how to fix it?

any help would be fantastic

thanks in advance

Bryn

easy fix, do the whole exhaust as per normal, 3" dump pipe and front pipe, 3" hi flow cat, and just replace the canon muffler with an oval 3" muffler. this is the only way to get rid of the droning noise. its just a inherant quality of the canon. and oval muffler will be quieter but still perform just as good.

ah i see, so something more like this is better

or have i missed the idea?

Why is it thought that this happens? and will it remove teh drone all together or just reduce it?

p,s thanks for the fast reply

you are correct in what you show me. thats exactly what you will need. it removes the drone noise to a point where you can barely here it cruising, but give it a kick in the pants and you can here it a little.

y does it happen? coz there is more room in an oval muffler, so quitens down a bit, with a cannon you might as well just have a straight pipe, thus the drone.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
