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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
