OBX Y Pipe: Hiss on coast down???

RCZ · 04-08-2011, 04:29 PM

Get these exhaust tips, problem solved.

Hmm.

These repsponses are making me think it's just a characteristic of the pipe. I may be going back to the old Y pipe then.

Dammit.

is it THAT loud?

Jordo! · 04-08-2011, 07:06 PM

I can hear it with the window up and AC on. I can hear it over the stereo unless it's cranked. So, yeah... a lot louder than I would like.

Monday we'll get it back on the lift to see if it's a leak or just a characteristic of the OBX Y pipe + S-tune CBE combo...

If so, I'll repair the old Y pipe (has a small, but inaudible, leak in the flex pipe) and this will be up for sale...

Okay, old Y pipe is back on, and problem solved.

Looks like going from the 3" outlet on the OBX pipe to the 2.5" of the rest of the CBE was causing the hiss.

Weird.

So... yeah, this is going up for sale shortly

If anyone wants to jump on it, feel free to PM me

Mainly to avoid repairing the cracked Nismo one, which I wound up having done anyway... also, thought it couldn't hurt to try.

Screw it -- I'll cheerfully sacrifice a few whp to not hear that hiss again

The GTM 3" exhaust hisses too. I think it's mostly a result of the VQ harmonincs when paired to a less restrictive exhaust. Some set-ups will hiss more/louder than others, but as soon as you remove or replace the OEM cat's you're going to have some degree of hissing
