Hey guys,

Just wondering what exhaust system do you have in your Stagea. I'm looking to upgrade my stagea after I upgrade my Turbo....

I was looking at the HKS Hi-Power 409 cat-back exhaust system and a Xforce cat....front pipe will be a 3 inch one but dunno what yet (JJR, buy one from ebay, or some other name brand)

Would that a good setup in your opinion

Is they anything else you guys would recommend

custom 3" catback with mild mid muffler and stainless magnaflow oval rear... best daily driver exhaust possible... which will be sold from my car when i sell my car, as the sooner i go back to a standard exhaust the sooner i stop getting nasty looks from neighbours in my apartment block lol.

Just Jap Racing 3" bellmouth stainless steel turbo-to-cat dump pipe

Random Technology 3" stainless steel hiflow 620cfm metal cat converter

3" cat-back straight thru pipe to Kakimoto GTR Racing 3" straight thru muffler

sounds fkn awesome

isnt loud, isnt toney, isnt bassey, isnt deafening, doesnt have noticeble drawl thru the cabin, no headaches, no earaches

sounds H O R N

as the boost rises the power rises, the gasses come out unrestricted but yet muffled enough to tell its a tough RB25det in a shagn wagn

Have just fitted a JJ 3" bellmouth dump and X Force hi flow cat. Cat back is as imported. 3" witha small mid mount and

Fuji Cannon.

Have been keeping check on fuel consumption and am using 2-3 litres less per 100. Breathes much better and power is noticeably better and smoother, and comes on quicker. I also use an electric controlled two stage boost controller, which is great for mountain roads.

I have a fujitsubo exhaust which as a mid and rear muffler (same as Alexcim's) and am very happy with it... The more power I made the louder it got but just cruising around town it wouldnt be much louder than stock but has a nice note when you open her up! sitting at a set of traffic lights you wouldnt even know it was turned on.

Does not look aftermarket at all.

So far it has pulled an easy 265rwkw so it makes the power as well..

Just got the Just Jap 3" bellmouth front+dump installed yesterday on an already 3' HKS Super Drager catback.

It spools up slightly louder, and it did exactly what I thought it would do - at about 2.5k its just that little bit smoother/quicker, and it just seems the car can breathe easier. For 200 bucks, you can't really beat it!

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
