Kakimoto Exhausts

[mick2nv]

Im new here

Right now I have a GTS25 NA stock and I want to buy a Kakimoto exhaust system because of it's amazing but not excessively loud sound but which one is the best to buy

-Full mega N1

-regu 06 (i think)

and if I purchased one of these exhaust systems, how much of a power will I gain?

Thanks

i have the regu 06 on my gtr and you cant hear it at all

only when your balls deep in the rev range

no droning at all love it!

kakimoto's are great. I would always recommend them for NA's but you have to remember its going to said noticeably different to a turbo skyline. The regu 06 will drone from a NA because its a cannon without the hotdogs etc etc. If you get the kakimoto R, part NO. (NS310) 70mm Pipe - 115mm Tail would be the best performance wise for a NA.

its up to you

cannon

muffler

Thanks mate, any idea what kind of kw i would be gaining from the kakimoto R?

I dont think you would get much of a power gain without extractors as well.

but combined with extractors id say 10-15kws?

[central coast person]

Hannibalk1ng would be right there. Extractors would compliment the exhaust system. The main difference would be that buying a muffler would allow you to have more power through lower range (its better for street basically).

Getting that cannon catback Kakimoto make means the pipe is designed for turbo skylines so it will very droney and performance lacking on the street and even on the track you would have to reach the red line for it to feel different performance wise to a stock exhaust. Its designed for a turbo not NA, so unless its on the track at 6000-7000rpm it wont be able to be even as good as a stocker.

Thats why i would just get the muffler. Its like the stock design but functions better than it so its going to be better than it was before anyway.

If you are going to go a 3" system they are all going to be much of a muchness in sound because they are not made for a non turbo skylines with high compression.

Best best get one made up from any exhaust place. 2.5inch all the way and a cannon. probs looking at $ 350 installed.

but expect a drone while on the freeway doing 100kms

[na beast]

i can sell you mine in about a month.. 2.5" all the way throught with a resonator and a drift muffler, also can put on a high flow cat for a little extra.

Thanks for everything, I was just curious about the power gain but I dont need it. I just prefer the sound of the exhaust. The power is just a bonus for me.

Yeah I dont want much drone (a little is ok) so wat type of exhaust limits drone?

All exhaust will drone on a NA. Mostly just on the freeway doing 100kms and 2.9k RPM. Ive gotten used to it or just crank your music up!

do not get a kakimoto exhaust i have one

when people get in the car for the first time they cannot believe how loud it is, ive never had someone in my car who hasnt made a comment about the exhaust.

spend the money at a exhaust shop and get a custom one made to suit your car

you will spend less, have a better note and a power increase

is it a cannon from Kakimoto or Kakimoto R??

the Kakimoto R model is quite and it can be loud when you but your foot flat but at least its not a loud drone as well......

Soon hopefully

I had on my NA r33 a full Fujitsubo exhaust.

Not loud no drone nothing, just gave the car a nice note for an NA.

[natho33]

im not sure the name it says n1 or somthing...

i still do not see why anyone would consider one for there NON TURBO

custom

-cheaper

-better power

-better note

-no headaches

-less police attention

[Razzle-Dazz]

I'm in the same boat for my R34 currently looking for an exhaust:

-2.5" pipe

-extractors (does it matter what type/brand?)

-muffler/cannon whatever will give me a tougher note.

LOL, the Full Mega N1 Hyper 2000 = Excessively loud, stock R34 with it was 113dB

It sounded tough though, on gearchanges it would "bark" and it scared small children. Downside was that after a good drive your ears would be ringing (true story)

[natho33]

yep thats what i got the full mega n1

the thing is a joke

it sounds pretty tuff tho

but yeh after a long drive ur ears are literally ringing for a few hours.
