If you look on ebay theres a guy that sells hks stuff from NZ.

Delivery was virtually one day NZ to SYD.

I paid 850 including postage for the hks silent hi power.. (720 + 130 postage).

However nengun offers them @ 700ish delivered at the cost of the painful one month wait.

Good luck matching these prices newhere else tho :miner:.

Edited by SideOn

for the guys with the hks silent hi power system...do u guys jus have the cat back system or go the split dumps and hi flo cat etc?

jus interested to find out the best setups...do the job once and do it properly!

f**k me!

You guys are getting raped.

Even super Autobacs here in Tokyo has them for $400!!!

LOL @ Aussie rip offs.

I decided to go for a Kakimoto R for the Sube and that was only $450!

Great exhaust by the way - 95 dB, awesome burbleage.

yeah the burble on the Kakimoto racing muffler is very nice

is definately under the db rule limit on my stagea

all 3" from turbo back

all straight thru

JJR stainless dump $320 installed

Random Technology 617cfm hiflow Californian cat converter $180 installed

Kakimoto Racing GTR muffler $200 installed

so if you shop around you can get a cheap full 3" hiflow exhaust, that sounds great and performs well

ebay then exhaust shop for fitting is the way to go =)

Sorry high jack thread

I have 3" X-force TBE, dont have any problems however i hear alot on these forums there cats are shit. Is it worth getting another cat and would catco be the one to get? Also would it improve sound xforce is nice but bugger all burble?

Important also would i have to have the car re tuned for that?

Cheers

im lookin very very seriously into putting a hks silent hi power zuast on my car....

what they worth?

The HKS distributor in Aust (Performance Wholesale) sells these as well. Full stainless $875inc and the Mild steel version is cheap at $635inc. They can be reached at [email protected]

Cheers

the kakimoto sounds awesome, personally

I had a Fujistubo 3" muffler on the stagea, then swapped it for a 3" Kakimoto muffler

much higher flowing, more aggressive "RB" burble

very happy

and there is nothing wrong with a Mild steel system in lieu of stainless steel

Hmmm, where did you source just the muffler from??

I've been talking to some importers over in Perth, and it seems to me that it is cat-back or bust, I was under the impression Kakimoto doesn't/didn't supply stand-alone mufflers... :)

Kaki is 98 DB.. Its not quite and scapes under the limit.. I have the 3.5 cannon N1 series which is the best and all I get is comments on how it sounds at WOT.. at idle the cops dont even look, just a quite hum/drone.

Get a split dump if you going stock turbo, makes the exhaust sound sweet.

Get a catco highflow, expensive but so worth it .. ceramic just slows it all down.

As a mata of fact look at my sig, just buy it all

I'm in the same situation now but pardon my ignorance. Isnt the Kakimoto Regu 06&R JASMA approved which is below 92dB?

The Kakimoto Regu 06&R cat back exhaust system is designed for improved street response whilst keeping within the JASMA 92db noise limitation for street use.

Features

- Designed for minimum bends for optimal exhaust flow

- Stainless Steel construction

- Titanium like tip look using special coating

- Improved vehicle sound but not excessively noisy.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, someone probably has. But we really need a list of exhausts that pass EPA which is 90db these days I believe, personally I dont want the bastards making my life miserable, but you gotta have the RB burble.

Instead of saying "XXX sounds good"

Heres mine for reference

Stock Turbo, 3" Custom Dump Pipe HKS Front pipe, de-cat HKS Hi Power """Silent""" lol.

My apologies for the quality.. Vista compatibility issues :s

i've owned 3 kakimotos on my 32s. the mega n1 with decat is probably the best sounding exhaust i have ever heard on a rb. the rb burble is multiplied by eleventy billion and it sounds like PORN!! that exhaust was quite loud. i then bought a kakimoto oval styled muffler exhaust which was jasma approved and also approved by victoria's epa standard as it was very quiet. BUT it sounded awesome and aggressive even though it was just a touch louder then a stock exhaust. deep and throaty even though it was so quiet.

i've heard a few hks's and they are also awesome but from actually owning a few kakimotos i will never be able to settle for anything else other than a kakimoto. they look great and make your car sound like its on steroids. but thats just me :thumbsup:

+1 for Kakimoto, a mates mrs has one on her R32, and somehow it manages to not only pass EPA but sounds really deep and burbly. If i was going to buy another catback, I'll be getting one of these.

Meanwhile I'll stick with the 3" straight pipe, complete with backyard arc welds + 'performance' cat. :ph34r:

IM in 2 minds here.

Either the kakimoto Full mega N1 or the regu 06&R.

Its going on RB26 pumping out roughly 400KW at all 4. Will there be much difference. Guys say the 06 is quiet.... How loud is the Mega N1?

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
