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...)

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
