I know this has been probably covered a million times but I would like to know seriously how much difference in drone/note am I looking at if I'm changing from my Trust Ti-R to 1 of the 2. I know they're probably still illegal but if they're 91dB, its probably good enough.

What I found from reading.

Hi-Power Slient

- Quieter than Regu 06&r

- Cheaper

- No sure does the catback come with a bung

Regu 06&r

- Quiet

- Nice RB note (1 of my mate's got a Kakimoto on his R32gtr but not Regu)

- Slightly more exp

- Nice rainbow tint but not so sure about the rounded edge of the tip

- Comes with bung and greatly reduce flow

Now my question is, is the diffference significant for the Regu to run with the bung in it in terms of flow and sound? Considering my car is "stock" running only 250awkw?

BTW, if anyone is looking for a mint condition (1 or 2 scratch at the bottom) Trust Ti-R for a R33 GTR let me know. I love the look and sound of it but cruising with it is becoming annoying. Thank you.

Ive got a mate with a Kakimoto twin muffler titanium system on his R34 gtr and it does sound good and is definatly a lot more quiet than my Ti-R system. Like you said, its probably not legal, but its close. And miles quieter than the Ti-R system.

Look at the Nismo systems if you are after something that could pass for legal.

Cant really find anything Nismo. The only other Nismo I've seen on a Skyline (not a gtr) looks like crap. The tip is thicken and looks weird to me.

Hks silent hi power in a rb25 r33 3" turbo back and high flow cat @ 1m and 45 degrees which is the rta check

i noted 91db at idle and 102.9 @ 4500rpm :( not silent like it is suppose to be

A mates apexi n1 full turbo back on a s15 and it was 91db @ 4500rpm and about 67-70 db @ idle.

102.9dB!? You must be shitting me. I think mines like 95dB at 4500rpm...

Is there not the Hi-power and Hi-power silent?

Yes there is. Hi-Power and Hi-Power Slient.

Kakimoto is perfect. Got the Regu on my car and you can barely hear it on idle. Driving around inside the cabin you can still talk to everyone without yelling, but when you open the taps it screams

I'm actually leaning towards that. Did you remove the bung by any chance or did the r32 gtr model dont come with 1?

The regu 06 is redicoulosly quiet probably one of the quietest jap exhuasts you can get sounds like ass definately quieter than the hks. Also yes it has a welded in silencer in the cannon which reduces it down to 2 inch which I was one of the ones who discovered it and removed it but not only that the resonator they use has 2.25 inch inlet and outlet so its drops from 90mm diameter to 2.25inch.

In regards to flow for 250kw you wont find much difference when I did back to back from a straight exhuast and the kakimato with all the restrictors I lost about 8-10kw and that was running 260kw with the straight and about 250 with the kaki but yeah its basically stock sound so for a street car concerned about sound not a bad option if thats what your looking for but just know youve got a 2inch restrictors and 2.25 inch resi so as you increase power you will face restrictions. Imo no way is it worth paying 1300 for a system with restrictors making it quiet you might aswell get one made for a 1/4 of the price with restrictors.

That's a shame, I was thinking of getting one to be stealthy

Does the HKS one have these reducers and silencers?

Dont know about hks as havent physically looked at them, but if there redicoulosly quiet then chances are yes they probably do pretty much I would say all the ones that pass the jap jasma approval would have one since there all pretty quiet. I dont know about which hks guys are saying is really quiest the ones ive heard were mid noise range.

My friend's got a HKS JASMA system on his r34 and I have some unknown thingo with a JASMA plate on my r33 and his is deathly quiet compared to mine, no idea why.

They don't all seem to be the same, isn't the JASMA approval just an upper limit agreement for db's @ low revs?

    • 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.
