Hi all,

I have a set of extractors/headers which I purchased some time ago. Ever since they were put in my car has had a horrible buzzing bee sound.

I know this problem has been covered many times before, but I have covered all bases and it still persists.

Exhaust is: headers -> y-section -> flex section -> cat -> 2.5" pipe -> muffler

No resonators exist in the pipe. After the cat it's straight through..

I have done the following.

1. Replaced the entire B-Pipe section and muffler
2. Cleared out the Cat Converter (It's now hollow)
3. Replaced the flex section
4. Exhaust/header wrapped the flex section
5. Replaced all flange gaskets with new ones
6. Checked for leaks, exhaust is completely air tight

I'm really out of ideas.... sick of my car sounding like a honda

 

Whatd you replace everything with? OEM? Aftermarket?

 

Mine was like that. I added a 30" resonator on it and no rasp at all

 

You gotta put a bucket of water under the Max and smack it so it falls into the bucket. Wear heavy clothing, gloves, and a face mask if you can. You can also smoke the Maxima out by putting a burning barrel underneath it but this is obviously not recommended unless absolutely necessary.

 

add a resonator thats what gets rod of that rasp aka bees in the can sound. duh

 

Do you have a pic of your extractors?

Try getting a resonator in there. Also try that verex muff.

 

Didnt notice you left out a resonator. Disregard my question up top. Cosigning everyone else...................RESONATOR!!!!

 

I never really understand why ppl remove the resonator. Have u ever looked inside one???...its not restrictive at all.

 

Resonator was removed when the stock b-pipe was pulled out. Was only 2.25". I asked for a 2.5" b-pipe, so the general consensus is... resonator. Ok.. off the the shop I go. Thanks everyone.. except for j-dawg.. who knows what hes been smoking

 

before you do, give us a sound clip of the bees.

 

Here you go

Clean Cefiro but it sounds like a riced honda....Resonator ASAP my Cefiro bretheren!!

 

"Sounds like complete sheeeit"

 

OP, have more pics of your whip? Side and front?

 

Get the biggest resonator you can fit in the b pipe. Also make sure you get a perforated core resonator, not a louvered(sp) core as they hinder flow.
