What setting are the ENGINE and the ENGINE SOUND set to?Beautiful deep tone with absolutely no drone. This Type R is even more of a pleasure to drive now!
Will your delete kit work with deleting the larger resonator as well?Working on development for a resonator delete kit for the front most resonator. Will have some video later today.
Thanks for the instructions!I'm certainly not an expert, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I deleted the large resonator with the following parts:
Here's what I did:
- Jack and jack stands (I had them already)
- 2.5" resonator pipe from AutoZone
- 2.5" clamps from Amazon
- I used an existing reciprocating saw, but if you don't have one, you could try an exhaust cutter
- Exhaust sealant from AutoZone
- 15mm wrenches (ideally a torque wrench too)
I'm sure I did many things wrong, but it works. I don't hear any exhaust leaks, and it sounds great.
- Jack up the car. I only had to jack it up using the rear jack points (I didn't need to jack up the front, but I'm not a big guy). Use jack stands so you don't get squished.
- The resonator pipe is 18", so I cut a total length of about 16-17" from one side of the large resonator to the other (it was an inch or two beyond each side of the large resonator... but leaving about a 16-17" total gap where the large resonator used to be).
- Note - I had to cut a little more after the first cut, because I realized there was an additional weld point that made it difficult squeeze the resonator pipe onto.
- Get a cup of water, and wet the inside of the resonator pipe near both ends, and then put some of the sealant on there.
- Fit the resonator pipe onto into the gap where the OEM resonator used to be.
- Put the clamps onto the ends of the resonator pipe, so the larger part of the clamp fits over the end of the resonator pipe, and the smaller part of the clamp fits over the OEM pipe. It's not a perfect fit, but it works. I also tried the 3" clamps, but they were too large.
- Hold a 15mm wrench on the clamp bolt, and then another 15mm wrench or (ideally) torque wrench on the other end to tighten them down. I went back and forth between the two bolts on each clamp a few times until I felt like it was tight enough.
- I used more water & sealant around the clamps to plug up any possible spots where exhaust could leak. I made a mess.
