How can that be Aaron? I've driven one with a Kakimoto & it was loud. What did you have on before? (sorry, it's probably listed 5 pages ago, just don't want to go looking).

lol kakimoto R? or N1 hypermega or something ?

Its a shit load quieter than before, and its brand new so it looks like its only going to get quieter as the gunk builds up.

it was a custom job before. which could explain why is was loud.. flowed 230kw though..

I'm pretty sure it looked a bit like this...post-61153-0-50538100-1300106234_thumb.jpg lol?

Sorry Aaron, I saw this the other day, & I was just reminded of it. No hate

hahahahha lol none taken. it looks better now, thats for sure.

The kakimoto R has this random 4.5 inch tip cover thats spot welded on.. wasn't happy with it. so me and scott attacked the spot welds with a drill and grinder, and polished the spots to invisible. we remoulded some of the pipe so the muffler sits abit higher off the ground.

ill take some pictures tonight, and hopefully a vid for sound.

IMO - it looks WAY better without the random tip.

Had 3 tiny pin dents removed from the Stagea by a PDR guy who just fixed $6000 of hail damage to our daily. Sooo bloody obvious on a Black car...

Total cost? $60.:worship:

Result; perfect job, one happy customer!

Just got back from registering the car... had to do an ID check, pay for new plates, 3 months rego and transfer of rego. Total wait time = 90 minutes. Total of reaming = $1100. Thanks SA Department of Transport :rant:

mak sure you cash in your nsw rego, get some cash back

Thats the plan, except looking at the requirements I think I actually need the signatures of every person, living or dead, who built my car!

Fashioned a bespoke knob from aluminium bar. Turned it up on a poor mans' lathe (bench drill).

Has a nice solid feel & looks a lot better than a missing knob.

THAT looks great.

Tip is way big enough. Also like the debadged look on your black car. Probably a better effect than it would be on a silver or white car IMO.

I have a Kaki as well and should take the big tip off mine, does it make it quieter with the monster tip off? Just ordered some HPX pads from GSL for the Stag as well. Is there a FAST system for Subaru's? I need to order some HPX for my sister in law but the liberty model she's got has a million different pads used in them.

its doesnt make any difference to sound I wouldnt think. Mine being straight through from the turbo its not AS loud as it was before.. i kind of like the deep not it has...but it looks much better without the big tip IMO. i put the vinyl that came with it on the tip. looks tough.. ill take another pic tonight.

Gee thanks Iain. That was information I could have done with a week ago!

Well I suppose I have something a bit unique now.

Speaking of unique, did you see my post on the stealth boost gauge on m35stagea.info? BTW I can't get on right now. Could just be the internet where I'm am right now though.

I thought you had to transfer within 14 days?

I thought this too, until I went to the RTA. Because I've got till the end of the month, they told me to wait it out and then get the blue slip to put it under NSW rego. No fines apply for exceeding 14 days in this case.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
