Picked up my car this morning, resplendent in new heatwrapped mid pipe, 100 cell hiflow cat, and shiny Fujitsubo exhaust fitted. Now it's 3" from turbo to tip.

Canak Autosport did a beautiful job on the mid pipe; tucked up nice and close to the floor, out of harms way. Cost a little more than I expected, but there's almost $400 in cat, flex joint and flanges.

Sounds brilliant, no drone, just a sweet rumble at idle, and nice rasp as you rev out. Now pushes almost 15 psi instead of 12, feels so much more responsive!

One very happy camper.

Bet that sounds shit hot also Daleo..as well as looking quite smart! *thumbs up* :O

Im actually wondering if the HKS suited for the M35 sports muffler on my full 3" system from scotty actually gives more power than the fujtsubo / kakimoto M35 systems. I know the Fujitsubo and Kakimoto's have a much nicer quieter tone. (bit like a rexy bob)

My question is would there be any difference as mine is like 50 times louder?

Edited by PetroDola

I think it comes down to the design more so than how loud it is.

Both the Fujitsubo and Kakimoto exhausts are designed to flow as much air with as little restriction as possible while their muffler setups use vastly different designs to control the sound/volume

I think that the only way to tell if yours makes more power would be to dyno them back to back on the same car.

You can't look at Scott's dyno results for a comparison between the two because he changes shit on his car every second day :O

hrmm good Point Iain.

Im wondering if scott has any dyno's done with just that exhaust mod from stock :huh:

and what impact it had...would be interesting to know the difference for sure.

Cheers!

Had the 260RS profesionally detailed today. Got the lot done for $300 which I recon is bloody cheap! Then brought it home and polished the GReddy intake pipes. Man I love this car even more now!! :)

A bit lame but bought some 15mm hubcentric spacers from JustJap.

Matt@JustJap had them delivered to my door within 3.5hrs (ordered 10.15am sitting on the doorstep at work by 1.45pm). That is outstanding service and deserves a pat on the back.

I have a HKS2835ProS going on next week to replace the perfectly fine HKS GT-RS which will be a more interesting mod. More on this next week.

hrmm good Point Iain.

I asked for the system to be fitted when I bought the car so no pre graphs, I cant even remember what it drove like... I think the words were "4 cats, you are kidding right". :blink:

Im pretty sure you replied to Cam's post and not mine mate :P

its not like we are remotely the same, he has a gay coloured car!!

lol... and you have a stock kinda car (or is that a "gonna" kind of car :laugh:) with an old-man interior!

Anyway, minor-ish service on my Stag today - oil, cleaned intake and a/c filters, changed plugs etc, etc...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
