thanx mate!

[SideOn]

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 .

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!

[m3gtr]

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.

[Tangles]

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

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]

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.

[FrangaR33]

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.

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

i second that, almost afraid to take my car out on the street for fear of being epa'd. thinking of getting kaki regu06&r catback as mine is very loud and got drone on highway, anyone got a 2nd set for sale

[Jaysiin]

what you guys reckon about a bee r zorst? as i have one. how does the sound compare to the others?

[gotRICE?]

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

[jakez88]

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

[bozodos]

+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.

[Piggaz]

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?

[Lithium]

no offence to the Trust owners out there but i think its a girls exhaust......

I have a Trust PE2, is this that girly sounding?
