When first put my atlp exhuast on it was loud. I reset the ecu last week and put 80 miles on it since. Exhuast seems quieter. Is this common and how long before it goes back

^if you do 10 jumping jacks and rub your ears while repeating the phrase " i think it'll get louder"

your exhaust will get louder.

bouncer07

Fresh metals when new will sound loud at first. As carbon starts to build, it'll get lower/deeper in tone as it settles.

I used to "re-set" almost every other week because my Braille b2015 battery would get drained. I now have a Tomioka Racing TR-B2100 battery (that's 21 pounds to you Inaccurate) and no more dead battery issues. Re-setting the ECU always seems to make the engine sound stock quiet at first.

Ben Park, you're learning!!!!

Bpark36

now if theres anybody other than crab people out there...chime in

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

What is there to chime in about?

If it's a new exhaust give it time. If you just reset your ECU, give it time.

Resetting the ECU won't magically make an exhaust sound different.

iTrader: (1)

Now, will you say sorry to my crabs?

Bpark36

i understand about carbon build up. but carbon is not the issue seeing as the sound changed within 15 min or so. the ecu goes back to stock settings i assume and even at idle the car is quiet. maybe i will reset again cold and let it idle longer. maybe i just need to drive it longer

Bpark36

i put the exhaust on, drove it for 2 weeks, reset ecu, and boom quiet. no lie

bouncer07

I wouldn't keep resetting. Once is good.

no one is accusing you of lying.

there is nothing that we can do for your situation.
like it or not, thats the sound of your exhaust.

Drive it up to 7k RPM!
i bet it is loud.

This would mean your car is completely silent, as in no one can hear it running even when putting their ear right down against the intake manifold. Have you confirmed that it's actually running? Is the tach registering rpm's? If so, have you placed a stethoscope against the intake manifold in the hope of hearing some faint hit of valvetrain noise? Dogs have incredible hearing. Perhaps recruit one of the neighborhood dogs to have a listen? David Berkowitz used to talk to his neighbor's dog, so it's really not that big of a deal.

I think what he means is that he is certain that it's quieter, not that its literally 100% quieter.


Did you try driving WOT with the VSC off? Maybe resetting the ECU altered the throttle response?

I'm just guessing if anyone who has better knowledge about cars thinks something along those lines may be possible.

Snot came out of my nose reading Anx's reply.

What's the difference between rasp and drone?

Franchise1124

I'll co-sign on some of the posters above and say its some carbon build-up + you getting used to the exhaust tone. I'm not sure how an ECU reset would affect how loud/quiet it is.

When I first installed my j-pipe, I heard the difference every time I hopped in my car. Now I almost forget it's there until I press the gas.

Yep, I've gotten used to my exhaust as well.

holy shit....thats fucked up !!!

seriously Justn and Aaron...you guys are senior members man....if you dont have something informative to say then dont say it at all....all you guys are doing is shitting on people's thread....and then have a problem when someone else starts a thread on the same topic !!!

Bpark, the exhausts do have a tendency to quite down....maybe at first the exhaust was just a tad bit louder than your "threshold" and then it got a tad bit quieter than your threshold and hence you are saying its very quite

there are 2 variables here, first is exhaust getting quieter and 2nd is you adapting to the sound.....or maybe both....i think its a pure coincidence that the exhaust got quieter after you reset the ECU....the ECU reset has nothing to do with your tone of exhaust....

also any particular reason you reset the ECU ?

CLtotheTL32

After I had my ATLP installed, I reset the ECU but didn't notice anything.

I bought the setup used, which means I skipped the break-in period.

kingkong_dav

How did you reset the computer?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

King Kong, you know when you're trolling, and you write pretty much the same type of post in different thread...almost like a "reset"?!! Pretty much the same method to reset ECU.

If those days are behind you and you're actually trying to be helpful/inquisitive, I immediately don't apologize.

I wish he would turn things around and actually add to the community, there are glimmers of useful posts in some things he writes.

Now now Dave, you've been on Acurazine for over a year now. You should know how to use the search function.

If you can't do that, there's an AWESOME website called Google. You go there and type in what you want to find. I typed in "acurazine ecu reset" and WOW, LOOK!...
