they are both 3" systems so it will make you lose a lot of power, response wise. sure your top end RPM will be better but i doubt we should be driving 6000G's everywhere

look to keep your whole cat back 2.5" its a rule that you should stick to if you want back pressure for response. :PBJ:

*Smacks head against wall*

Back pressure KILLS power, you NEVER want back pressure, EVER.

The choice of 2.5" is to do with harmonics, and gas flow speed VS cooling.

Mainly, Harmonics.

better still i should correct that with scanvenging, which is made with a small pipe. Back pressure is fine its only wasted energy???? and the scanvenging is like a vaccume and will suck air out the cylinders??? (think my words have been mixed around) think thats how it goes. did you also check the welds on the cat and muffler this might relate to the problem :S

this forum can be closed and never seen again

Answer: its just a characteristic of the engine thats only a problem when you change the zorst system far from stock. If you dont want the noise to be noticed the easiest way to get rid of it is a stock zorst system from catback. There are aftermarket ways and yes you can have desired response but you must use mufflers and resonators to quiet the noise so you dont have this being loud. In turn your zorst system when it = quiet, your 'Rattle' will = quiet.

im starving to get my car on the road so i called up to ask when i can do the engine and got this answer back for the sake of it.....didnt get a straight answer on my car though :) his laziness is upsetting

hey guys i have the rattle to i wouldnt worry bout it its just the engine sound resonating throught the exhaust. (pretty sure)

my exhaust system consists of coby extractors provided by our N/A legend EUG straight 2.5" pipe to drift cannon on back still makes sound was thinking of knocking out cat for fun but car is way to loud as it is had it checked outside car 1m from exhaust registerd 110.7db inside car was 93-95 cruising at 100km in 5th 2700rpm lol

if u get up the car heaps the sound aint that bad maybe cause its so loud and with sterio up perfect bliss :laugh:

i did have a really bad rattle myself, found out it was some kinda shielding that was on the exhaust itself, just under the passenger footwell, it was held together with wire, and crap, stupid previous owner..... removed it and the horrible rattle went away, note that i still have the old RB rumble, resonation, whatever you want to call it :banana:

    • Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com  
    • Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com  
    • It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.
    • Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂
    • 1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
