+1 for the Kakimoto Regu 06&R

I have one of these on mine, because I was looking for a quiet exhaust after having a rediculously loud exhaust on my previous car.

They are an awesome sounding exhaust that still has a deep rumble on idle and at WOT are amazing. I wouldnt have anything else. Had a lot of comments when it's been on the dyno about how good it sounds.

Also dont go with the Trust PE2 (not offence) but these are supposed to be slightly restrictive compared to the Kaki and other exhaust, this is how they are quieter rather than making better mufflers. This information was given by my tuner who had one on a Skyline and gained 10-15 kw's by replacing the mufflers.

full mega n1's are much louder and sound porn! if you want quiet go for the kaki oval muffler or regu as i have heard they aren't excessively loud. the mega n1 is loud.

Even just putting around... say sub 3500 RPM? WOT thats to be expected...

when i was just puting around it was still very noticeable that it was loud...but i think it was just loud because i had 3" dump and front the straight 3.5" to the "resonator" (Iif it is a resonator in the mega n1 exhaust) and then the canon.

i guess it would be a tad quieter if u had a cat. i mean just when i turn on the car in my driveway my 32 kinda made things vibrate in the house LoL and the burble was unbelieveable. WOT my 32 full on roared!

but if your gonna be pushing 400kw in ur gtr then i reckon have it loud lol.

full mega n1 on a 400kw 32 rb26....PORN

hey guys...

found this info on these exhausts:

Trust Pe2: ECR33 Skyline RB25 (turbo), Tip: 115mm, Pipe: 80mm, dB: 94 (normal dB:87)

HKS Hipower silent: ECR33 Skyline RB25DET (2-Door) Tip: 120mm, Pipe: 95mm, dB: 98 (normal dB:92)

Kakimoto Regu 06&R: Nissan - Skyline ECR33 - Pipe 80-90mm - Tail 150mm, db: 92db (normal: ??)

any1 got a clip of a PE2 or regu06&R on a skyline?

The stock (branded) japanese exhausts often have the right tip and pipe spec but

the single rear muffler is really restrictive. What is the point of paying for a 3.5" exhaust

that looks the goods when inside the muffler the air-path is more narrow?

of course you can get around that with a loud muffler but then you're over the legal db

limit both on track and street at full bore.

The only good exhaust has two mufflers, and the 3.5" path front to back for sub 400kw

or 4" front to back for over 400kw. And the 3.5" or 4" path must also not get chopped

down where you can't see it, in the mufflers. Without that there are problems making

higher boost or making the expected power at the lower boost leading to all kinds of

expenditures on things that don't solve the main issue: breathing.

If you know of one like that that has a japanese brand name on it, I'd like to hear

about it!!

Well it comes down to these cat back systems... both around the same price.. which should i choose???

HKS Hi Power 409 cat back system

OR

Kakimoto 06&R cat back system

The HKS will be louder (POsitive) but its not full stainless steel. (Negative)

The Kakimoto is quieter (Negative) but its full stainless steel. (Positive)

Help... Looking for best performance reali...

Whos running them whats your impressions?

over a year later, i'm asking myself the exact same question.

i love the search button! :P

Someone with the Regu 06R should get the exhaust tested and tell us whats the dB reading is!!!

Justjap just told me they've got the Regu06 in stock for 33GTR and I'm tempted again to downgrade mine for the benefit of a quieter and complying exhaust system (ok maybe not really possible to get it below 90 but 90-91 would be good enough).

there is major differences between the 2 exhaust as mentioned above.

one is mild one is stainless.

one does indeed look pretty but the fact that mild steel keeps heat inside the exhaust ensures a better power result due to higher velocity. i believe both are 3.5" exhaust so at the end of the day...for a BPU skyline your not gonna know the diff. on the other hand if you start getting aftermarket turbocharges with stroker kits. id proberly stick with the hks.

do not mix the hks hi power with the hks silent hi power. completely diff exhaust and sound completely diff aswell. one was built to maximize power and one was built to be legal

Don't discount the Apexi N1 Evolution either if you're looking for a reasonably quiet exhaust! Very nice sounding without any droning and starts to open iup (sound wise that is) over 3K RPM.

The only reason the the N1 evolution is quiet is because it has a built in silencer in the rear cannon which is approx 2.5inch. What is the point of having a 3inch which becomes 3.5 if they have a silencer in them. I have one on my GTR and ended up just cutting out the silencer which made it a lot louder, but also made more power.

Wierd tho, as far as i can tell the only difference between the Hi-Power and the Hi-Power Silent is the fact that the silent is stainless.

The Hi-Power Silent only has a cannon muffler on the rear, and a pathetic excuse for a resonator in the middle :)

Just threw my new 5zigen twin muffler cat back on the other day, and fark me, I reckon it would be quiet as stock! Cause my car is a daily, I couldn't really cope with the straight through exhaust I'd had on there, and now since they have the EPA coming up here and handing out 500 dollar fines, I figured I'd go to the other end of the scale.

So far so good - its incredibly quiet, but I've not noticed any performance drop, and the rear muffler at least is a straight through. It fits up perfectly, and sits a lot higher up than the Fujitsubo one I'd had on there.

after searching this site... i think i have finally decided....

i wanted a kakimoto rego to replace my bee-r exhaust, however thanks to some youtube vids, i never knew how much the hks silent sound so good! HKS it is. i will post a vid from the bee-r to hks once completed.

I have a 4" HKS exhaust on my 32, and its fairly loud, like well over the limit at idle and once you get up higher into the rev range it sounds magic, however its a very expensive exercise from a child support sort of angle, I don't know how many kids i've conceived accidentally giving it the full bananas :cool: in front of an attractive lady :ermm:

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
