Raspy Exhaust Sound - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I've been trying to figure out what exactly makes my Exhaust sound raspy. I have OBX Headers to a OEM Cat (had an Isis test pipe but took it out thinking this would solve the problem) to an eBay N1 style catback. I've heard sometimes the OBX Headers could cause the raspyness, if that's the case, what can be done to stop it as much as possible?

My guess is it's the shitty eBay catback I decided to throw on there when I used to be on a budget.

Does anyone know what causes the raspyness and how it can be stopped?

buy quality parts instead of cheap ebay/obx shit

Yeah, you have about the lowest quality exhaust setup I can think of.

Brandon240sx · 08-04-2017, 01:22 PM

That's was the plan I was just seeing if there was something I could do for now

No, take that shit and throw it in the trash, now

gbaby2089 · 08-04-2017, 02:26 PM

Pretty much.

Start over & do things correctly.

Install a resonator. It solved the problem for me when I had a 4 banger

I'll be getting a quality exhaust set up after I'm done with this 5 speed swap, thanks for the help
