Hey Guys

I am looking at upgrading my stock exhaust system on my R34 GTT and have narrowed it down to one of these two:

I've heard good things from both but wanted to see if anyone's got either of these on their cars and if they would recommend them and why...

yeh i really like the look of the tip aswell, looks sex!

but it looks like that one has it's on cat? i prefer to get a high flow cat separate like the catco one...

Kakimoto has two mufflers, its still a cat-back exhaust....

wouldnt swap my kakimoto for any other :angry:

wouldnt swap my kakimoto for any other :P

why does the kakimoto one have 2 mufflers? does this affect performance in any way? and why does it look so much longer in length compared to the HKS one?

I'm in the exact same boat! I want the kakimoto regu but where do u source one from? Its listed in Just Jap as out of stock? Anyone know where i can get one from?

might have to give just jap a call to see when they are getting more in, let me kno if you do this

I have not had the chance to hear a kakimoto exhaust (My friend has one for his 350Z on order) but I have heard the HKS on a few local R32's and it sounded rather nice when you jump on it...

had a kakimoto Regu on mine. exhaust tip looked very hardcore (jap racer style) and on boost in the high revs it used to literally scream.

had the muffler replaced by an Apexi N1 as the regu had started to rust/discolour badly (previous owner in japan installed it) which IMO did sound louder than the regu but i think the RB sound was a lot more pronounced with the N1.

I have'nt heard the HKS either but I'm very impressed with my Kakimoto, even at idle it has a nice subtle business sounding burble but does'nt attract too much unwanted attention, it wont wake the non-Skyline enthusiast neighbours unless its wound up.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
