What some of the guys are mentioning here is the incorporation of the quarter length pipe.

Length of pipe needed = Speed of sound / (4*/Frequency)

*4 is the factor for the quarter length

Typically, 28-30" of length for each pipe will kill a lot of drone from 2300-2900rpms. Mine are 28".

And I thought a banana in the tail pipe cured all exhaust woes.

Hello! Not to hijack a thread but...I searched google to fix drone in my Z32TT and somehow found this thread.

My setup is 3'' dp and 3''->2.5'' tp with 2.5'' Greddy SP exhaust. My butt-dyno is saying I gained about 30whp but I do have annoying drone at 2300rpm-2900rpm lol. I have to speed up to 75+ mph to quiet down drone.

Since exhaust diameter is different which diameter should I use for my setup? 2.5'' or 3''? Based on what I've read 28-30'' capped pipe sounds about right? Thanks in advance!

29" Capped tubes (one per side) at 2.5" each. The pipes need to mate to the exhaust at a 90 degree angle but the bends afterwards dont matter as long as the length and diameter are right.

Lemme know if that worked for you bud. :)

Cutting and welding sounds a bit too much... has anyone used Dynamat (or similar material) with F.I Catback to help kill the drone inside the cab? I could care less about it being loud outside =)

Just got this done today. But I was only able to squeeze in 20'' of piping because as you probably know already nothing's easy with Z32's. Well I thought I was going to go back to muffler shop but no need to. About 90% of drone is gone at cruising speeds. Just curious now is there any performance loss with this? I don't mind sacrificing 2-3whp for quiet cabin.

Here's my progress for reference.

Thanks for your help.

Glad it helps! I am surprised that 20" helped but thats definately cool.

Just wondering, how long did the install take and how much did the shop charge you to do this?

Juice14 08-23-2012 03:36 PM

so is it possible to fit a 12 in resonator on there?

'10Anamoly 08-24-2012 07:40 AM

Install took about 1.5 hours and cost me $220. No performance loss.

Another thing you guys should look into is widen the diameter for these helmholtz pipes. It covers a wider range in the area of where the drone occurs

Hi to all!

I went to do some experiment rite aft I read this post, because my muffler drone like hell at 1300-2500rpm!! My pipe is 2-1/2 inch and I had a 2" pipe weld side by side with the main pipe with the length about 1.3 meter. Unfortunately, it still drone at the same rpm.. is there anything else I could do??

Thx for the help!!
