hey,

Was thinking about cutting off cannon and putting on twin 2.5" pipes out back of r32. (this is not for road use)

Atm car has no mufflers apart from a cannon, and its just 3" turboback. Has anyone ever heard a rb20 with no mufflers. I know if you just unbolt cannon sounds like a sack of shit.. will it sound any better with the extra lengh in pipe?? Has anyone got a clip? I searched youtube but no luck

cheers

Search 240sx, rb20, and straight pipe. There are a few sound files of rb’s with open pipes on you tube.

It’ll sound a little “cleaner” with pipes out the back as the sound wont be echoing under the car. It’ll still sound like an Isuzu truck at idle though.

One of my R32’s had a 3inch system turbo to tip with no mufflers or cat, it will get annoying if you daily drive the car and obviously the Police will pick on you.

Would I do it again? Yes. Did it make any power gains? No. The popping on de-cel and the ridiculous amount of flames were a novelty at the time.

It will be freaking loud and probably drone. My RB25DET had this exact setup when I bought it, it was horrible. The droning was crazy, sounded great on WOT but how often are you on WOT compared to cruising? Never mind also that it's obviously illegally loud, and the last thing we need with these cars are more attention from the boys in blue.

My cefiro rb20 is 2.5" dump into 3" dump back.. only 1 centre res and thats it. I love the sound of it.. no drone at all. Its actually fairly quiet on idle but absolutely screams on boost. I do rate the cefiro rb20 note quite a bit better than the 32 rb20, mainly due to the rougher sound. I dont have any videos of it at the moment though..

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
