Does everyone experience the loud cabin bass from the dual exhaust. Will dynamat work? I don't want to put silencers, so i can leave the exhaust freeflow. Any advice???????

 

its going to happen if you have exhaust regardless. you can probably get rid of some of it with dynamat. but that will be a lot of work, time, money and weight.

 

Just turn up the stereo.

 

It's a sports car, get used to it or buy a Caddilac.

 

Or a bike...

 

... which is rediculously louder...

 

Not this kind. Oh esssap!




PS... I think that seat would hurt! Ouch!

 

lol... I didn't think of that kinda of bike (which is, by definition, a bicycle). Yeah, that's definately a resolution to exhaust noise.

 

Shelby has a modified (read: louder than stock) exhaust on her car and it has a very pleasing sound that I never tire of while running through the RPM range, the only time it gets annoying is when you're in too low of a gear accelerating in which case you just shift, the bogging is the only time its obnoxiously loud. From my experience the Z32 is very well insulated aurally speaking.

 

haha, you must be used to noisy cars. there is little if any sound insulation in a z32.

 

Naw, I think I'm just going deaf. lol

 

yeah i agree, but then again im used to it, ha ha GUtted S13 + NO cat + Straight pipe and Open Wategate. = LOUD. Demons and Devils breaking loose out of Hell.

 

S30's have some killer sound isulation and for a few days im gonna have me an open down pipe right of the turbo, now i just got reverse my fuel pump lines so it sucks fuel instead of blowing air into the gas tank lol embarrasing.... then i can talk about loud myself when she fires up, assuming i didnt jew up the timing to much, im sure its off a couple degrees.

 

3" Piping, HKS HiPower / Carbon Ti Exhaust is quiet on cruise. and mean as hell on WOT. remove the internal WG for a External Tial 38 or 44mm with straight dump tube. lol no honda will ever go next to you again.

 

Just add 2 turbos...

That's what I did

 

i really like barry's solution.

 

yeah with atmospherical dump wastegates!!! GT2871R + Tial 38mm = Vroom Vroom. =D

 

Turbos make the noise much more tolerable, you will probably notice that with the windows down or the T-tops off the noise is a lot less. So, that's two more economical (weather permitting) options. Sound deadening foam works pretty good as does Dynamatt. Ear plugs? turn up sterio, dare I say ask your girlfriend/wife to keep talking?
