Exhaust modification

[Izso]

I have seen a video on youtube about installing helmholtz resonator on a galant vr4 to reduce drone ... he get a quite positive result with it ,maybe you could check it out if u haven't watched it .

Yeah thanks. Will look at that

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

if I had to guess, from my own experience it’s because the diameter of the pipe is on the big side thus it drones.

told him to reduce the size... but he didnt want to...

Yeah thanks. Will look at that

Use mugen style twin loop muffler at the rear, it sounds soft/not droning but yet still sporty. I'm using that type of muffler on my Mark X and pretty happy with them but not sure if it is suitable for high powered turbo cars and if it's available for big 3' pipes like yours.

I think you original muffler the fiber glass all gone already. Like my VR when new it does not drone that bad, but after years of use the drone has become louder.....lol

makes me remember the old days seeing rxz riders DIY replace the fiber in their muffler.involves lots of digging,knocking, and sometimes fire...

For car, there is a muffler model where the ends can open up. Lock down by bolt/nuts. This is for replacing the fibers.....

Is your spare tyre in the trunk? Without it, the drone may get worse

Everything in, actually carrying plenty extra weight. Spare tyre, tool box, water, shopping bags, trekking sticks, jumper cables, extra spark plugs, etc.....lol

Guys, sorry to hijack this thread. Any recommended places that make good custom exhaust system? Anyone here has any experience dealing with shops like racetag, mfr, supercircuit, etc?

Yes and all depends on your budget and please get opinions from people who've used their service, plus try their cars before deciding. I've worked with Supercircuit and Everco to get a full set exhaust done. Everco Sunway setup my Wiras full exhaust front to back and the setup lasted the lifetime of the car (which was 9 years). Supercircuit setup the exhaust of a friends VW and he's pretty happy with it. But as you know Sunway shops are notoriously more expensive than shops in Ampang, Puchong, etc. I've also dealt with a shop in Ampang that does a pretty good job for half the price but they just changed my resonator on my latest car.

That's for the complete setup from headers to mufler. All stainless. Good price.

 

[ixeo]

Good price. Not bad workmanship as well.
