hey guys,

I recently bought a new car. I wanted to know if this system was a turbo back or cat back system, the end of the muffler says "HKS Hi-Power", also i wanted to quieten it down abit, is there anyway to do this without losing power?

There is also this weird connector that runs from what looks like a resonator or something and it looks like it goes into the cabin, anyone know what this line is?

The 1st pic showing the Down and Front Pipes looks aftermarket to me.

Can you get another pic?

From memory the stock Down and Front Pipes look very thin and usually have all this metal plating wraped around it.

Why don't you get a tape measure out and measure it?

Or take another photo of the front pipe joining onto the cat and then the cat back so we can see if the pipes are the same size or if ones bigger than the other.

It looks stock, but just measure it to make sure.

ok thanks mate, will try to measure it

how can i quieten it down tho? like change the cat or muffler or do i need to replace the whole catback system?

Put a resinator in just before the rear muffler, but that will be restrictive.

Yeah you can replace the whole car back with something more quiet like a Nismo or Kakimoto or HKS, who make a Silent Hi-Power Exhaust System.

It has a quiet rumble on idle and give a nice roar on full throttle.

Its an aftermarket front pipe, but stock dump.

To make it quieter, you COULD butcher it and put in different mufflers.. But that would be killing a JDM goodness exhaust :P

Sell it and buy something quieter.. Trust PE2 arent as loud.

hey, thanks guys... looks like i might buy a GKTech Front & Dump pipe combo, sell the HKS exhaust and get a HKS Hi-Power Silent or something... hopefully its abit more quieter :)

Here is mine with a full 3" Turbo back system, Decat, and HKS Hi Power "Silent".

the dump pipe is the little stumpy 90degree pipe from your turbo which bolts onto your front pipe, this is still stock, but your front pipe is aftermarket probably 3inch, save your coin and just go for a dump pipe (probably cost u $100) instead of a dump/front pipe (in one) you should notice quite a difference in power as the stock 1 is f*kin restrictive u will see just by looking into it when u take it off. but then again this will probably make your car sliiiiiightly louder but much louder spool up noise from your turbo. and resonators wont restrict your system f all if its got the same inlet and outlet as the rest of your system.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
