dc2 w/ fujitsubo noisey

[quangsta]

hey guys

dont know if its a problem but ive got a dc2 with a fujitsubo rm01a catback...(stock headers & cat) but i find it really loud inside the car...outside its no so bad but inside its ridiculously loud. was professionally installed and i took it back and he reckons its fine so dont know if its normal or 'loud'

any suggestion ideas or even someone with the same exhaust let me know

cheers

Put a silencer in it?

If your car is a dc2r, then its probably because there is no sound proofing. If its a dc2 - you could have probably chosen a quieter catback.

Ive got the same setup, execpt with headers and aftermarket cat, and i think the noise is perfect, not loud, just enough to hear it abit, but all performance otherwise, imo its not loud at all

[quangsta]

but isnt the rm01a suppose to be a quiet exhaust?....

ive only got a dc2

reason y i think its loud cause it ridiculously loud...louder or as loud as my friends skyline gtr

my is like very loud drony in the cabin....even my friends dc2r with a magnaflow 3inch catback 3 inch tip wasnt as loud inside the car

Was the fuji brand new or second?
If second hand has it been modified?

[quangsta]

second had but dont think its been modified..

trying welding on another resonator if you wanted to mod the midpipe. thats weird, because they are usually quiet.

[quangsta]

yerr thats what i was thinking and thats the reason why i brought it..

bah...maybe i should take it to another exhaust place

[markoJEK1]

why would you want to ruin such fine quality, with some random in a exhaust shop that will just tig weld it any way he likes it, and in return might compramise the quality of your exhaust..

swap me for my power getter =P

lol if u find the rmo1a loud then i dont know what will be quiet....

i think its a very very qiet exhaust when driving in all rps compared, its only slightly loud when engine braking around 3000-4000rpm

[markoJEK1]

^ exactly right, i havent heard a quieter performance exhaust like this and the quality of the whole product itself

[quangsta]

i know its a quiet exhaust thats y im asking y its so loud in the cabin....

if i had some el cheapo brand exhaust and it was loud i wouldnt be complaining

although ppl rate da rmo1a a quite exhaust, i did find it a little loud, esp on a dc2r. U can get a fgk silencer 4 it, cost like 70.00 cheaper than chopn da bpipe 2 add a resonator.

the rm01a is still pretty beefy sounding i rekn...the legalis r is quieter.

[thaizeg]

RM01A is pretty loud n droning inside the car... the only FGK exhaust ive experience which is quiet is the POWERGETTER..

[Newcivic]

powergetter FTW!

[quangsta]

^^ u still want to swap then?

[Newcivic]

nope changed my mind now LOL

[xntrik]

DC2R's have no sound deadening.
So the rattle (if your exhaust wasnt installed securely) inside the cabin would be worst

Why did your friend have a 3" exhaust on a B18C? Was he allergic to torque?

Shifty has a PG and it's not too loud at all. I had a PG too and the loudest thing on my car was the Injen CAI.

imo its your stock header and cat u are using
u should be having some better headers with at least a 2.5' cat as what the rmo1a was designed for
maybe it is bottle necking at the cat ......

Noise is bottlenecking? Ever seen a trumpet with a muzzle? It's quieter, not louder.

[90LAN]

the jdm dcr has a 2.5 collector and flange for the cat
the exhaust is design to suit this set up not the shit aussie setup
this would then change the pulse of the exhaust gas flow
just my 2 cents as every 1 else has said other things
