Well I bit the bullet and this Kakimoto cat back arrived last night! Unfortunately the quick install saw a snapped stud last night.... typical - two bolts to install and one broke!

will fit it today when I get a chance and post some pics and feedback

The quality is awesome, and im sure its alot lighter than the massive factory item!

The twin Nismo is 70mm internal to the muffler, where as the Fujitsubo has twin 70mm in the rear muffler. Theoretically the Nismo should be quieter then. I wonder how much it will restrict flow...

I would be interested in hearing if anyone else is getting a dump pipe and front pipe made up to fit an aftermarket exhaust. So there is a possibility Westside has a flange to fit?

I think i have westsides flange. i did most of the footwork to get em off the ground there. i had about 10 lazer cut in the beginning after buying the hack job of a flange from liverpool exhaust.

get together and get westside to make a bunch more, i wouldnt mind my one now haha

Mmmm... Kakimoto N1 Hyper Mega.

Very pretty indeed. Can't beat JDM aftermarket gear for quality, particularly for exhausts :D

Out of curiosity, who did you get it in through and how long ff it take?

will be interested to hear you comments on how you find the exhaust inside the car as that is a pretty small middle muffler.

But it does look nice.

Should be around the 95dB mark at the tip if I recall correctly.

Will sound awesome though.

Youtube vid please! :)

Well bolted it up today after grinding a stud off and punching it through the original front pipe... why is nothing simple when it comes to cars?

But it was well worth it! the kakimoto isnt too loud, but has a great low down grumble at idle, and screams very nicely up top!

Its definitely louder than a Legalis, but i would like to think the kakimoto flows a lot better - there is a noticeable increase in power, which surprised me quite a bit. I didnt expect to see much improvement until dump/front and cat were done. It seems to pull a bit more down low, and alot more up top than the standard exhaust.

I got my brother to do some drive-by runs on quiet country road, and it sounds great from outside :)

Ill get some pics of it installed over the next day or so - I dont have a video camera - so not sure if i can record any sound :D

It sits a little low doesn't it? You will have to be careful with that.

And that's why I decided not to get a Kaki because it sits a bit too low for my liking, especially when my car is 2.5" lower. But if the height wasn't an issue, I would've bought one of these exhausts as I've used Kaki on my other cars.

For flow wise, it will beat the Fujitsubo no doubt as it doesnt have a mid muffler.

well the test was the driveway to my unit. I would scrape pretty heavily with the old exhaust, and while the kakimoto still touches, its not as bad as the stock. same goes with the local supermarket carpark, all the bumps there would slightly scrape and now it clears it!

I think it sits lower at the tip and inline with the rear axle (but because there are wheels there it wont scrape there very often...)

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
