Question about the hiss/rattle after installing HFC's

Sonic370Z · 07-12-2009, 01:26 PM

okay, just played around a bit more and the sound is definately more prominent in the flex joints, but I agree with Tony that it is not the flex pipe themselves... its simply where the sound most easily escapes due to the construction.

I hear the sound generating in the cat and in the pipe directly below the cat, and this hiss/rattle then eminates most from the flex pipes in the Y. again, the sound doesn't make it to the muffler because I stick my ear right next to the tips of the exhaust and it is just the nice, deep "normal" exhaust without the hiss.

so I wonder, what would happen if a second set of resonators were added (in place of the flex joints). just a thought. I'm not going down that path personally, just ponerding.

Fast Intentions had great results with only their catback (on stock cats). Impressive dynos, and a BEAUTIFUL sound from the video. I am STRONGLY considering reinstalling the OEM cats and just enjoying the sound of the F.I. catback exhaust.

How was the fitment on those Berk's with the Nismo exhaust? Plenty of clearance between the heatshields?
