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??

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
