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, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
