(Skline01999)If you dont mind me asking, have you had your Db ever tested on the system???

Apparently it should sit around 92Db on a regu 06 which is about 12Db more than the Kakimoto R and seeing its on my NA i should be a bit louder but like i said the muffler does quieten everything down very well and if i had a regu 06 it would be way over the 92Db mark.

Nah I havnt had it tested , but up to 5000 from hearing its sounds like stock then it starts to get louder.

If you are in the SE suburbs, head down to Sabbadin Automotive and have him make you a custom system. The Jap exhaust on my GTR was loud and did drone. We tried a few different combos and now my car sounds great but has no drone at all and still flows as much as the loud Jap system.

Give him a call hand ask him about the mufflers we used on Dave's Black GTR, he will know what you are talking about.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks Dave, I always thought Sabbadin was up North West.. shows what I know :banana: I think I'll have to give them a call or drop in there and have a chat.

Is your exhaust "legal" as in fairly quite? Was it comparable in price to the good jap systems?

Cheers,

Phil

looks a lil worse for wear. could do with some paint but meh. noone sees it and theres no holes or leaks.

too quiet for me. want something louder. it had DTM angled tips wen i got it so i got em chopped off and replaced with 2 3' straight pipes.

I've seen some images of yours in some other threads SLY. It does look (and sound) good by the reviews I've seen but that model is now discontinued as far as I can tell. In the photo looking at the tips the large bends in the piping under the HICAS look fairly low, does that pass the 100mm test?

I've been too busy at work to be able to call Sabbadin yet. I don't know how this will compare in price vs a Fujitsubo, plenty of pricing around for the kakimotos? No one looks to stock the Kakimoto.R's but I think the Fujitsubo Legalis R would look a bit better. I's all a bit hard though as as mentioned there's just no good images of them. You'd think there would be a few angled shots of each model exhaust on a car.. I mean they've gone to the trouble of making it fit on the car so it's been on one at some stage, all they had to do was take a photo, it's not that hard! (end rant :blink:)

um ill have a check tomorrow sometime for you. yeah i tried to find info on it when i first bought the car and couldnt find a thing. mines different from the one you put up though. mine has no middle muffler. it ad three hotdogs but i had two cut out to give it a little bit more of a note but it didnt really change it. lol.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
