Gday all

I am looking at getting a new exhaust system and I am wondering if anyone has used or got a HKS system off just jap, Main concern is how loud it will be?

Also what is the difference between the series 1 and 2 as they dont have any series 2 left,

I am looking at the HKS Hi-Power 409 Exhaust System, or maybe just go to a exhaust shop and get them to make one, any thoughts??

cheers

HKS do a Hi-Power silent exhaust that are reasonably quite due to there being an extra muffler

They have them at nengun.com heres the link http://www.nengun.com/hks/high-power-exhaust-silent

They can normally have the items to your door in under 2 weeks

I run one. They are rated at 92db

It is not too loud and does not drone.

I use to run a fujistabo legarus R (waht ever they are called) at 89db and was too quite. Hardly heard it

There is hardly any difference between series 1 and 2 exahust. I have had both on my car. Maybe one mount is slightly different, can't remember

The HKS Hi-Power Silent and the 409 are basically the same thing, just the silent is made from shinny 304 grade stainless and the 409 is made from exhaust grade 409 stainless. i think the main difference between S1 and S2 is the length.

i run a 409 system in my car, it has a middle muffler as well as the cannon tip. its not quite, but its not obnoxiously loud. my car is an auto and there is some drone in the cabin especially when travelling at 80-90kph that can get a little annoying when stuck at that speed limit for 1-2hrs. but its nothing the volume knob on the stereo doesn't fix.

how much are the 409's going for at the moment? might be cheeper to get one made up at an exhaust shop, at least then you can get a couple big mufflers put on it to get it really quite if you want. i must say though, the HKS exhaust is a quality made system and it really was as easy as bolting it on, all the hangers lined up, angles were perfect etc.

i got a hks silent on my s2, and it sounds really nice, no drone, no nothing, only thing i really really miss is the burble i used to get from only having resonators in my system. the muffler is a bit big so it kind of removes of the burble.

but i do say its heaps quiet, i tested mine with a db meter a while back and i got 87dB, that was with a 3"cat 200cell, and 3"bellmouth dump.

thing is, hks only has the preset tips for the exhaust, so no twin endpot or so. just the big oven pipe :)

also it would be very expensive to get a mandrel bent exhaust made in 3" 304 steel.

but then just choose 1 endpot and 1 resonator. sounds blooody sweet!!!

p.s if you want a vid and sound clip of the silent system, jut let me know

I am thinking of going the non silent one as i don't want to end up with listening to the fan belt rather then the engine again. The hks 409 is selling for $999 on just jap.

I am still waiting to hear back from just jap on eta of new stock so i might go around some exhaust shops the only problem is there isn't much choice down here in tas.

cheers for all your feed back

I have a spare stagea/skyline exhaust sitting at home if you wish to buy? 3" with rear twin tip stainless muffler. Came off the rb26, but as far as Im aware they should suit both 25 and 26 models. Not 100% sure though

Is the exhaust off a stag or skyline as the the skyline exhaust is 60mm shorter, just enough to be a pain, is it full stainless or just muffler and how much you looking for it??

Yeah it came off my S1 RS260 Stagea. I will admit it is mild steel I think, but a stainless muffler. I'll dig it out tonight and take a happy snap of it. I wouldn't want much for it mate. $200 would suit me. But just noticed you are in Tassie, so not sure what shipping would set ya back. I havnt gotten around to posting it up in the classifieds as yet.

I have a hks 409 exhaust, high flow cat, greddy front pipe and hks split dump. Good flow, fck all drone and hangers line up perfectly. Change your O2 sensor while your at it. IMO dont go for full stainless as it doesnt bend if the fitting is out a bit and dont buy a dump/front pipe bcos you can just replace the front pipe if you bottem out on kerbz and shit. Flex front pipes are decent for that. JDM stuff has the best gaskets and fitting.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
