Exhaust Brand Wat Do You Think?

[SOB]

Hi pplz!

[SOB]

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

[FLYSLY]

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

Would your system pass the dreaded allowable db range?.............

[SOB]

Anyone else heard or knows someone who has used a Tanabe exhaust?..........................

[Hillzy]

I googled it and found a lot of people were running them on hondas and found them to be a good exhaust. But that's coming from honda drivers who probably think their JUN sticker gives them power

[SOB]

No Stagea users??????

[FLYSLY]

I do think it would pass the db test

[petrolfix]

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

I'd look into an Xforce exhaust system with a varex muffler... thats the setup im going to use when i get my car. Google it or go to the xforce website to see a video of it.

the thing is that i was given this 3" Tanabe Hyper system when i purchased my stag and wanted to talk to anyone using this exhaust already to see how it preformes b 4 i spend money installing it..................

Thanks Shane

What was the total cost?

[MRO]

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.

[Appealing]

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.

$800 delivered to my door, i bought it from nengun, mind you i did have to wait a while but i really do believe it was worth the wait awesome exhaust

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.
