Sorry about first post stuffed up!.........First time user be gentle....I have a exhaust give to me when i purchased my stagea its a Tanabe Hyper Medalion. Was wondering if any of you out there have used

and any comments!..... And yes i did a search but i got no hits Thanks Shane

I recently just fitted a HKS HI POWER to my Stag and i reakon its a bloody good exhaust, the sound is fantastic no drone from inside the car at all, it is rather quiet when you are cruising around and on idle but when you give it a bit damn it sounds good.

Cheers Simon

oh my go bro easy as

i run the blitz Nur exsahust

sounds sweet as nice and quite enough to pass the db test.

to test yours put it on and get a db meter (J car supply a chepo that you can build yourself)

put the car on level ground on a flat area (not near a gutter) and hold the db meter 45deg to the exsaust 1 metre from the exsahust tip get some on to hold the car on 3000rpm under no load it shold read less than 89db (this is quite loud)

if it dosn't pass leave it who cares?

if you get pulled up and defected for it explaine your predicament to the local exsahust shop and they will be able to make a silencer for you to get the defect cleared and then you take it back out after it's cleared then keep the silencer for next time you get pulled up

What was the total cost?

I have this exhaust. It is nice and quiet if that is what you like. I have fitted the dump/front pipe as well and there is a noticeable power gain to be had. i suspect a noisier exhaust may make more power. YOu should have no problem passing db tests and it is not so obvious that cops pull you over anyway. I dont know too much about other exhausts but i like this one.

why not just install the tanabe... if its for the stagea it should just bolt on.. its gonna be a lot cheaper than buying a new exhaust...

if you dont like it.. then look at buying something else....

I concur. If you've got the exhaust sitting there.....

A few questions about your exhaust FLYSLY:

1) Is it defiantely the HI POWER and not the HI POWER SILENT? does it have a proper middle muffler or just the hotdog/resonator thing? I was always afraid that the drone would be unbearable with the HI POWER.

2) How is the ground clearance? i have the whiteline/bilstein suspension kit (like many here) and with 335mm centre of wheel to guard (the top circlip) im having some exhaust clearance issues... and thats with the stock exhaust.

These are the things that have been holding me back from getting the HI POWER. If you could ease my mind I would be very appreciative.

I think that you have to try it to know..... if you don't you'll always be wondering.

Mine came with Fujisubo, I love the way it sounds, not too loud, (cept when it backfires at gear changes, then it sounds reeellly cool. :P

It is definately the HI Power, yes it does have a proper middle muffler, which i thought was quite strange because according to the picture it is supposed to just have a hotdog resonator type thing.

Umm the clearance is pretty good, my car is also lowered it does sit a bit lower than i would have liked at the rear muffler but i plan on taking it down to the exhaust shop to have it lifted a bit not becuase it hits anything when i driving or going over speed bumps or anything but just cause it looks a bit silly cause its not snug under the rear bar.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
