I kinda hate this, but I don't know what can be done about it, Now my intake is rather loud but my Engine at that K happens to get louder then that and my Exhaust Combined. And my dash kinda viberates. So anyone have this problem? Or is this something that just happens? Its 5-speed and I have raced it many times but it seems like this winter it is a lot louder.

I do put the pedal to the metal though... In 1st and 3rd it is this loud at 6K. Makes me wanna just get anothe exhaust other then my stupid Magna-soft.

 

are you serious... dude its a VQ. Go watch some videos of maximas on youtube or streetfire or something and see that they ALL do it. Heck i take mine up that high on purpose all the time cause i love how it gets violent up there.

 

Well you are after all turning 6000rpms plus.. Any engine is gonna be loud at that kind of rev.

 

Its the USIM, mine was exactly the same with only an intake. It has changed since then......

 

this pretty much sums it up. When i changed my USIM out for a MEVI on my 97 it totally toned down the topend although it still made that gruff noise just later in the rpm band like 6800+. Im sure the 00vi absorbs alot of that sound but still lets the deep growl roar!

 

this is a funny post.

Any car is going to be loud at those RPMs.

 

I LOL'ed when I saw this thread. Loud engine at 6,000RPM is it? Hmmmm


VQ

 

It does not get much louder than this...

Stillen Hi-Flow Cone Intake, Stock Resonator, and a Y pipe. Sounds super-quiet to me The 00vi has toned it down amazingly, such a more refined sound. I should have another video up soon with the 00vi.

 

great thread, will read again....

 

always get loud pal.

 

I'd bet that mine is quieter than 90% of the cars on here @ that RPM.

 

MY friend says with his old 03 Spec V was not as loud @ 6K.. Then again he says he can beat me in a race and I just lol'd in his face cause he thinks that car is so much better when it is not. He also thinks its faster too.. bahah... yah 170HP of sick fastness.

 

Dont sleep ont the v man. They arent that bad in the quarter at all.

 

Stock intake

 

you know its funny dude, but all that revvin and i don't see you passing anyone?? i see a car or 2 pass you and you never pass them, lolz...

 

Are you serious???? Thats like saying, "Dude i just ran six miles, and now i am out of breath". You should not be driving with the rpms up that high anyways. Unless you are trying to see if you can blow it up, then in that case, go for it.

 

I have a simple solution - shift up. Or earplugs?

 

Haha, I was merging onto the highway. And the reason why you don't see me passing cars is because I don't believe in driving at high speeds though traffic. I hit triple digits more than three different times throughout that video. It is not worth the risk to speed excessively while traffic is around.

 

lol, obviously. i garuntee 90% of all cars with an aftermarket intake and an exhaust system will sound louder at high rpms, and especially in COLD WEATHER when the air is more dense. u dont want a loud car go back to stock, or stop going so high up in rpms. dash might vibrate cus its loosing traction

 

lol you gotta understand. I am not worrying about a loud car I want it loud. I just don't want the Engine being louder then my Exhaust.

 

Then put your stock intake back on, listen to your exhaust, and regain HP/TQ while you're at it.

 

How would u think I would be regaining HP/TQ with a stock Intake?

 

You are talking maybe +/- 5 hp. I don't think it really matters all that much.

 

Modify everything in between. That's my motto.

 

The volume past 6k RPM is the sound of your IM choking your engine due to the pulse waves in the manifold being completely out of phase with the intake valve opening. Hence the lack of top-end power.

 

^ so a mevi can fix that?

 

And 00VI...search...

 

Thrashiness is bad.

 

He is referring to acoustical thrashiness, which can be remedied.

 

Is it really strictly acoustical? I can't imagine the engine is running sweetly if pressure waves are crashing into each other in the intake manifold...

 

+ a stock muffler

 

Nice video... Wait, was his check engine light on? JK

My stillen exhaust makes my entire cabin resonate at around 3000RPM.

 

Thanks, I need a new wheel sensor for the ABS and a o2 for the CEL. Its all under control.

I will post up another video sometime soon of the 00vi.
