Exhaust Sounds too Raspy
Hi everyone,
A little bit about my BB rx8, -AEM CAI with prefilter (for rain purposes) -Exoticspeed Headers, 3in -Exoticspeed midpipe, 3in (dual canisters) -Mazdaspeed exhaust v1, not sure of pipe size So onto my question/concern, recently i have installed my exoticspeed headers and the midpipe over 2 days. When i tested it out with all the parts listed above, i found that the exhaust sound was more raspy than i would have liked. i am not sure what is causing this and was wondering if anyone had any idea why it is so raspy or how to fix it? here are two videos i made, sorry if the audio quality isn't good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjuk1Du7ERQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X_u7..._order&list=UL |
try a different midpipe?
|
Two ways...
Poke a hole in the muffler Resonator so it is quite. |
What is causing it is the fact that it is a rotary. A different mid-pipe and exhaust set-up will change it's tone and amount. BHR's mid-pipe, I am told, eliminates a lot of the rasp, but I have never heard one In person.
|
A 3in system is going to be a lot harder to tone down than a 21/2 . You really need some decent resonators in the midpipe . The ones you have don't seem to be doing the job.
|
I understand that it is a rotary and at first i didnt mind the raspiness but now its starting to get annoying cause its a loud raspiness.
could it be my catback exhaust making that raspiness? |
try a racing beat or BHR midpipe
|
where can i get a bhr midpipe?
|
would people say that the bhr midpipe is better than the racing beat?
i have looked at video footage of both but the conditions were not the same and the audio was not the greatest. |
ditch the catback, exoticspeed sounds delicious.
|
They are different products Souhjah, RB's has 2 resonators to do the job while BHR's only uses one that has no packing inside so it won't wear out.
Both companies make great products, it comes down to a matter of preference. |
Bse50 - what do you mean packing? Could you explain?
|
Google exhaust packing, it explains almost everything!
|
U have a Single Resonated midpipe forsale if you want it
|
what is the make?
|
I had an Performance shop make it for me.. heres the link to it.. I decieded to go a different way on mine..

yeah right now im going to keep the exhaust set up i have now for a bit and see if i get used to it
|
OK, If something changes, Just keep me in mind. I can do OBO as well
|
alright well i have an option at the moment, should i get the exoticspeed r1t catback or get a bhr midpipe?
|
i can get the exoticspeed catback for 500 while trading my stock exhaust
|
Mid-pipe is the source of your rasp. Headers don't really help.
Exoticspeed makes a fine catback, though. |
i have the mazdaspeed one though and can't tell which to get because i havent heard them in person
|
Souhjah have you been to any local meets? Chances are someone at those meets has one of the exhausts/midpipes your interested in. If your just wanting the rasp gone then go with the BHR midpipe as far as I know its the only one with no packing in the resonators so it should not develop a loud rasp over time like others do.
|
No i haven't been to the meets i have been busy with school lately and i have no idea when the meets are in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
|
any other ideas?
