120% happy with mine.

I have HKS Dump, Front pipe and Cat back with Super Drager muffler.

good power but fairly quiet.

I have been toying with the idea of ditching the resonator to pump up the volume a little.

In my opinion that bigass muffler and 5" tip looks the goods with the 4" pipe leading into it visable from the rear of the car as well.

Good system - not too droney at cruise but wakes up when you give it to it.

Not too restrictive on moderate power applications, but will know for sure in a few weeks when the new motor is back in (with considerable more power)

I'm considering using a 2nd hand Super Drager cat-back exhaust from a R32 GTR on my R32 GTSt.

Would it be noisier on the smaller engine? Would it be noise legal? Are they 90mm?

Are they full stainless steel or mild steel with SS rear muffler or available in both?

agreed mate, looks great not too noisy and the rear muffler does look pretty fat! :)

they dont make brand new ones anymore but there is a similar one called super silencer i think its called that its 3.3/4 inch, if you are buying a second hand one ive seen them go for less than $700, what you could also do is just go to your exhaust place and ask them for a quote on a 3.5 mandrel bent full exhaust, as long as you buy good brand mufflers and cat converters it wont be too loud, you dont need stainless i think that its a wank factor cause its shiney and looks good, you would save hundereds getting it made out of mild steel. its completey up to you what you like, i priced the HKS exhaust brand new and it was well over 1000 and that is just for cat back you could get a full mild steel exhaust with good mufflers and cat for that price.

yea i got my super dragger installed with a high flow cat and 3" dump pipe i love it. I was worried about it being to loud but was very pleased when i turner her over to find a nice little rumble from the back at idle then when you open her up she puts up a little bit more noise but again nothing over the top

it is very quiet but very high flowing at the same time.

Nigels supra has this exhaust and he gained 30rwkw when he changed from a twin 2.5. and we all know that his car is HIGH powered.

i have this with full exhaust on a rb20 and a friend has it just cat back on a 33. mines quiet, and his is very quiet.

Highly recommended, but as noted, HKS no longer make them due to the tightening of noise regulations over there. I have one on my R34 (stock front pipe and cat) and it didn't even trouble the engineer (only 82db @ 4700rpm). Looks the part too!!

I run with the resonator - doesnt restrict flow at all just takes the drone out. It's a pretty big resonator, so without it I personally think it would be as loud as a bitch.:Bang:

How many of you guys run it without a resonator/middle muffler ?

Just dump pipe - front pipe - cat - pipe - super dragger ?

For those that do - do you think it's legal? does it drone? loud?

hey guys are all the hks exhaust systems only cat backs?

i have a straight though 3inch + 3inch dump pipe and its very loud

what would be the difference between the hks exhaust and just a normal 3inch exhaust system??

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
