hey all,

just wondering if anyone knows what brand / model this exhaust is?

it was already on there when i got her - its not too loud on idle and has a brilliant note when you open her up.

couldnt find any markings or labels, might be some on the top but if possible dont want to have to take it off to find out.

any of you experts able to point me in the right direction?

thanks in advance!

Any embossing of any name on the muffler?

Looks custom... Maybe... And if it is, it looks like the stock one but bigger for better flow.

Kinda like a "sleeper" exhaust...

Mmm thats a hard one!

Does it join into one at any point in the system?

Could be a Kakimoto of some sort, but they usually have markings.

Its definately not a HKS Dual Racing.

How are the welds etc? Are there welds at every bend? If so its probably custom. If its all one piece without welds except for at the flanges itll be a jap factory exhaust.

the muffler looks a lot like a lambros hi tech one. do you know if the exhaust was bought/made in aus or was it on the car from japan?

get more pics of what is under the car, not just the muffler.

Hi again boys and girls, sorry for the update delay!

Exhaust was done in japan.

Have attached some more pics (sticking the camera under the car haha)

Anyone have any more info!? just had a look for some badges, markings or engravings - etc again, but found nothing - they may be on the top of the muffler? :yes:

hey mate, please check out the extra pics above - would love to hear your thoughts.

cheers!

Still hanging out for a driveby WOT and some idle revving :D

A promise is a promise.

This is one which just honestly slipped my mind - let me see what i can do for you over the next few days :D

You thinking of changing or do you like the twin tip look?

I have a HKS system but will be going to a twin tip due to how cannons can be perceived these days.

I always wanted a cannon, however this exhaust was already on the car and i love the note it produces.

Was thinking of changing it, but only because I was getting some internal muffler rattling. that being said, if i was to buy a cannon, i'd buy either a Kakimoto Regu 06&R or a HKS Hi Power 409.

Rattling seems to have sorted itself out (touch wood!)

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
