I know theres tons of exhaust threads and if this one is out of line go ahead and delete it. Just wondering if anyone else experienced a crazy whooshing/whinning/turboish sound coming from their intake after they put on a catback? I have a custom steel mesh k&n style intake. And a (don't flame I know I know) custom exhaust done by mieneke. 2.5 inch pipe. Eliminated the resonater but the y pipe is still stock. I don't know what kind of exhaust it is. It looks the same as the stock one (2 pipes inside eachother) only its like 2x bigger and nice and shiney . When I floor it once it reaches approx 3.5k rpms thats when this loud whinning turboish noise starts aside from the intake vrooming. Its very loud and everybody thinks I put a turbo on this weekend! Anyone else have this proble.. I mean luxury? haha.

 

my car has developed a turbo like noise revently but its totally stock.

if it doesnt bother you i doubt its a problem.

 

Luxory

.. hmm It's probably a leak ..

 

I felt for leeks in the intake and don't feel any from the intake filter to the manifold. That's what I thought it was too. I got the steel mesh cone filter from advanced auto parts. its orange with steel mesh for the filter. Cost me like 32$ and I think it sounds 10x better then then weapon R filter. But I use the weapon R pipe to get rid of the resonator thingy that was connected to the intake.

 

Mine has done it ever since i got my y-pipe. I was told it is just the flex pipe.

 

i get that....when i have my injen, warpspeed y pipe and apex ws2 ...u can hear my intake sucking air...kinda cool...kinda annoying...best of both worlds..

 

what's the point of taking the resonator out? for ricey sound or for boost in hp?

 

to me i think it gets a little more power.

 

But that's personal opinion ..

 

Exhaust is making the noise, not your intake.

Ding, fries are done.

 

how much was ur custom catback exhaust?

 

........

 

So it's considered a "luxury" when your car sounds like a turbo and it's actually not??

 

.... ...

Just buy a fake BOV too ...

 

isnt an opinion your own, along with your car? what you like is what you like.

 

3.5 is about when the vq gets on the cam right? There is that shift in sound at approx 3.5 anyway. Could be you're sucking more air?? Or a leak, they will do that sometimes.

 

whats a turbo

 

I hope to god that's sarcasm ...

 

lol

yes most likely its a little leak between the cat and the y pipe, mine does the same but i dont know if im loosing power or not

 

No its deffinatly NOT the exhaust man. Its under the hood for sure.

 

it was $416 total

 

I watched the entire exhaust install and the 2 guys doing the exhaust checked it for leaks. They found 2 leaks in the welds and that was it they fixed them. Like I said the noise is deffinatly for sure not coming from the exhaust it is coming from the engine bay. I think it is the metal cone filter I have on the intake. It must be the way it is sucking more air and it's just the noise it makes going through the metal filter.

 

mabye you have a seceret turbo ...

 

I want to get a sound clip of it. How would I go about doing that? Have someone record from outside the car as I pass or from inside the car? What should I use to record it? And where to host it?

 

tator tots are better

 

I don't think my car sounds like it has a turbo, but some kid in a newer Automatic Prelude was convinced I did after I beat him by 12 car lenghs.

 

after i put on a ws y pipe i found out there was a gap between the y and the gasket. once i hit 4000rpm it sounds like i had a turbo. replaced the gasket and everything back to normal.

 

more than likely your intake man.

 

okay if you are talking about the spooling sound is in the intake and it only happens at a certain point of throttle. full throttle you shouldn't hear it. It is just a whistling of air being sucked in at the right momnet. on 5speeds it is real easy to generate. auto are a little harder. you need an exhaust on an auto. a five speed can do it with just a filter and adapter plate. no intake. needed if that is what you mean. have on both of my maxes..

 

Thats awesome!

 

End the speculation with a sound clip. I'm going with exhaust, again.

 

That happened to me when i beat a gts celica.....this asian guy rolls down his window and says "is tat a tuuubo!" and my friend in the passenger seat goes "no, its maximatech!"....ahh good times.

 

when i rev my engine it goes vroom! vroom!

 

haha. Yea the kid is with his g/f in car and I slowed way down and he catches up and says,


Him-"Thats got a turbo right?"
Me-"No, its all stock."
Him-"But its got a turbo right?"
Me-"No dude, I don't have a turbo, supercharger, or any performance part.

He just looked at me for 15 seconds like he wasn't sure what to say, and then says again,

Him-"It's got to have a turbo."
Me-"Maybe you lost to my stock 4-door maxima because your graphics on your car are causing to much wind drag"


He rolled up his window and took off. I love embarrassing guys with their girlfriends in the car.

 

Street racing thread

Top end on a stock USDM Maxima still sucks.

 

i can hear a hissing sound from my intake at times when it is cold. it does sounds like a small pov lol. i have on the injen intake cattman ypipe and catback. i think its a 5spd thing. i didnt really do that on my auto..

 

Point Of View

 

blow off vavle

 

Freakin' 's Can't even attempt at a little sarcasm here


But in any case ... --->Wouldn't that require a "B" instead of a "P" ...

 

Not me. My race was done on a track.
