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".

Yes, Yes and Yes :)

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.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
