enhanced250

the hiss is getting kinda annoying now in the begining i didnt mind it but it makes my car sound like theres leak and also i get some stranges noises on startup but the go away after like 2 secs

agreed on the hissing. My rasp has become bearable...it's more "screaming exotic" sounding rather than "ricey civic". I cannot stand the hissing though. It makes me feel like my car is a rattling clunker :P

haha do you have an aftermarket y pipe? i starting to think its the y pipe for some reson maybe a slight leak in the flex joints or something no idea

TunaRollZ

no...i have the borla true dual. no more y pipe here. Everyone I talk to seems to think it's from the sound of high flow through the test pipes. It also seems that the only people with the 'hiss' have one thing in common...either test pipes, resonated test pipes or certain high flow cats.

this sucks we need a company that will make Hi flows that will

1. last more than 20k
2. similiar power gains to test pipes
3. no wierd a$$ noises
4. put the stock hanger eyelet on them
5. and not have to sel your car to buy them

it would cure everyones problems

anyone remove the heat shields next to the test pipes if you did, did you notice anymore heat anywhere


if i would remove these what would that effect? any electronics or anything that the heat sheild is neccesary

I removed them in hopes it would cure some the hissing...but of course it didn't. You should be able to remove these without worrying about it. Several people on this board already have. You only should need to remove it if it's hitting your pipes though.

i get a wierd resonating sound that i KNOW is from the heat shield so i might remove them to get rid of some of the noises my car makes now

this hissing sucks

i see i see.

yea...hissing can go to hell!

enhanced250

i guess this thread is just me and you haha i guess i will change the subject ali

after i installed my test pipes i lost alot of low end power so i wasnt going togo with a true dual how do u like your borla notice any gains down low

i also have
plenum
pop charger

hehe this is our personal chat room apparently...

ya u lose some low end tq for high end horsepower... I like the borla true dual. It's nice after you finally get it all tweaked to where it doesn't hit other things lol.

enhanced250

haha thanks for the insight im looking into exhausts i would of had one by now but this constant switching of test pipes is driving me nuts i want to get that controlled bfore i order a rear section thanks again and ill keep you updated i think i might start hunting for hi flows

Hi Guys--thought Id share a similar challenge/frustration....Im very interested in your opinion of the proposed solutions,

I had Meagans resonated test pipes on my G for approx two weeks...Sounded like BB's spinning...frustrated me completely...long story short when I tapped on the pipe with a wrench I could clearly hear the tingy sound..defective pipes...before I could get my high flows installed the other pipe completely BLEW apart...You get what you pay for...

OK so now Im excited to get my Kinetix installed...Overall sound quality is 100 percent better that BB's and 1/2 of a pipe.lol..not really wasnt funny I was pissed...Anyway...after several trips to muffler shops (bending of heat shields etc) I still have a fitment challenge on the driver side cat...Under heavy load it so very lightly taps the underbody or shield causing a wierd sound...like...dddddaaaaddaaadaa...

The Guys on G35 Driver say it's hitting because of the motor torqueing clockwise and recommend:

Engine Dampener---One thread said it worked wonders?
Wrap the cat with Header tape---?
Try a custom bracket to the OEM cat connection---? Doesnt this bracket move with the engine under torque...

enhanced250

sorry to say but im ditching my kinetix im going to get a set of ultimate racing hi flows that have an eyelet already welded on and are just a touch louder than stock and NO rasp soudns like the perfect solution im going to order them and hopefully have them in a week ill let you know

All I really care about right now is the hiss! If that's gone for you, I'll likely join your bandwagon there.

Is this the noise you're all talking about?

I just noticed a few days ago that when I'm WOT there is a psssssshhhhhhttt noise similar to the rattling "hiss" noise above from 5k rpms to redline... That's probably a leak, right?

TunaRollZ

It's kind of hard to tell, but it's possibly the same noise. Mine only happens when the revs are dropping between 4K to 2K rpms. I always get it on deceleration in this rpm band...but I also can duplicate the sound by idle revving and on clutch-in decels above 4K.

What are your exhaust mods?

That is the exame same sound I get with my RT cats and Borla exhaust. I was told it wasn't a leak, but air resonance due to the higher flowing cat (the RT cat is almost a test pipe).

i bolted up my hi flows tonight but havent had a chance to start the car LONNG sotry partly to due with Zaino haha but ill let you know hen i do
