Hi All! Have been posting in wiring/electrical section for a while and just thought I could find a great deal of qualified help here.
I sometimes swap 1UZs, the reason I'm here, but the question is about my own car. It only has 1JZ 2.5l n/a straight-six swapped in, which has adequate balance of everything for me so I'm pretty stick to it.
I'd like to get some oldschool sound with slapping, rumble, strong mid-range frequencies, that would resemble some stang or whatever. I do realise that I would not get 100% exact copy with displacement twice as small, however I'd be happy if it gets close enough.
Once I occasionally almost got this kinda sound, but it was too loud and annoying at mid-rpm. Now I can't repeat my previous result cause it was made cheap and dirty from wreckyard parts, and with brand new well-priced parts the sound is good, but is 100% opposite to what I'm looking for.
As far as I could understand from reading this section, I should go after system with 2 pipes running off extractor, 1 balancing pipe instead of x- or y-part, then 2 small resonators, then one big resonator.
Just wanted to confirm or flame that, any advice would be of great value. The 2 key parameters for me are: gain more rumble (sound less mellow and smooth) and not lose too much of the low to mid rpm torque, which is quite modest already.
