I have the HKS Silent Hi-Power, it is not silent. Hate to think what the non-silent model sounds like. Has a nice rumble and sounds amazing at high revs but would be around the 100-110dB mark for sure

X2.

Interestingly enough, when i ordered my HKS from Nengun a year or two back, i was tossing up between the Trust PE2 or the HKS Hi-Power Silent. The photo they have listed for the HKS shows the exhaust with a center muffler. At the time they were similarly priced, and IMO looked identical so chose HKS for no apparent reason.

But as we both know, it comes with a straight pipe with im gonna go for an "illusion" of a resonator slightly bulging in the mid pipe, and the cannon on the rear. It was louder than i expected it to be but i was expecting a center muffler too.

It can be a tad droney on the highways at times, but if you keep it at a steady rpm it more or less goes silent.

When i listen to Lith's one side by side with mine and go for a drive i might keep my eye out for a Trust item to replace it with. But i do like that bark.... :ermm:

Theres nothing quite like winding down the windows in a narrow tunnel and listening to that RB roar at full boost!

We'll definitely sort that out - possibly sooner rather than later as it seems the reliable daily driver (my second one in just over 6 months) seems it may have decided to carnage itself so Moby will AGAIN be relegated to daily driver duties. If thats the case, I'll be down in Welly sooner rather than later to get woman.

With the mixture of turbo whistle and PE2 sweetness the Skyline would go down a treat in a tunnel. Hell a road with building on either side is pretty awesome :P

i have the same looking exhaust as MINTR33. a twin pipe looking thing from the cat back. mine however had 3 hotdogs, JASMA muffler with DTM tips. must say i hate the look of the tips :P

exhaust looks great from the rear and have numerous comments about it. sounds quiet enough to me. if anything i would want it a bit louder. might remove 2 hotdogs :ermm:

will be taking it down to my exhaust shop soon to remove the DTM tips and replace with 2 3 or (if i cna fit) 3.5 inch tips. if i have enough cash might remove hotdogs and see how it sounds :D

pics up soon

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
