Hi all,

I've been offered a kakimoto full mega n1 exhaust for cheap and was wondering what peoples thoughts were on this exhaust.

I read somewhere that it was insanely loud but i think they were referring to the full dual model. is there any truth to this? Or does it sound ok.

Thanks

I am pretty sure that is what I have on my GTR (can't read Japanese but looks like the pics in the catalogs - 3.5" ~ 90mm).

With standard cat, dumps and top pipes it wasn't too bad. Idle note is good and just goes up from there, full throttle loud but purposeful.

With big metalcat, custom 3" dumps/top pipes - Believe me you won't want to be a shrinking violet. Idle note is better, gently, gently creep around on light throttle ok, open it up and you can be heard from a long way away. Full throttle note is nasty.

Quality is excellent.

Hope it helps

ahhh its the best exhaust, had one in my 33 gtst and mate had one in his 33 gtr. its a distinct noise. but yeah pretty damn loud haha but not a drone loud.

hey mate, i brought it off you! :D has a tough exhaust note and a very nice looking system. very happy with it, id snap it up in an instant!

Hey alexK where did you get yours from? and for how much? I thought that that a full kakimoto N1 exhaust replaces up until the dump pipes, as in the three peice one.

Are they throaty sounds like a classic V8 or more turbo type sounding....

cheers

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
