hey guys, i have a question and well my exhuast seems to make this loud rattling noise, its only just been in the country about a month or so before i got it, and im just wondering if any of you guys have heard these problems?

1 person has told me thats the type of muffle on it and its meantto make that noise, anotehr has said that when they put the cat convertor on to comply they just did a quick and shit job..

im confused and my muffler sounds liek shit.. some body help

Yep, mine did that. I had a f**ked muffler and a screwed resonator. Both made god-awful noises. Go and see any exhaust shop and get a 2 1/2 cat back with decent muffler and a hotdog style resonator and it'll sound sweet. Well mine does anyway ;)

yeah well i really aint sure anymore, seeing as i am broke, i think i might just go with the cat back.. but then again maybe i should save up and get a full exhuast system.. with extractors and all...

does anybody have any links online? or any suggestions on who is cheap but does a great service on teh gold coast?

If you want my honest opinion just go cat-back for a bit of noise. I have found that there is no a lot a power potential in the RB20 with out a turbo with spending crazy $$$$. It's a harsh reality which is why I saved and bought a turbo.

I had a similar problem on my old car, and it turned out to be the cover on the exhaust, between the manifold and the cat. A few screws fell of and the cover was noisy all the time. Plus, it was dented from speed humps so i straightened the prick and put some new bolts on.

Problem solved.

This may or may not be the case for you, but it doesnt hurt to check it out....

    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
    • I see... Any idea how much fab work is required? I note the Hygear megathread but its like 900 pages
    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
