i have a kakimoto stainless exhaust cat back, and it is surposed to keep the DB level of the exhaust down by 7DB i read. it came on the car from japan. its on an R33 GTST. it has a nice note and sound but its quiet enough to keep the cops off your ass for noise polution.

1300 is way too much money to spend on a cat back, i would not buy one at all.

instead i would buy a xforce stainless steel turbo back exhaust system. u can get them for 950 (not delievered, add about 70 i think for delivery)) including hi flo cat and muffler with adjustable silencer.

I agree

I got one of those xforce turbo back systems from ebay about 6 months ago. Full stainless for about 1000 delivered. great note and easy to fit.

hey is the adjustable part of the muffler removable altogether?

is there a big difference in noise/performance when u open/close it?

The adjustable part can be removed easily with an alan key - one screw.

As soon as I received the system I removed the silencer and have never driven with it on so I couldnt tell you from experience.

I reckon you would notice a slight difference in performance as the end piece would be more restricted.

It sounds great especially with the hks pod at the front.

The exhaust on my '33 has a blended dumppipe (seperate wastegate pipe, very neat), hi flow 3'' cat, full manderal bent 3''system, 7'' rear muffler ( look sweet) , silver ceramic coated dump and front section down to cat - all done for $1600 at exotic exhausts in Brisbane last november. Drive it in, pick it up in the arvo. Sounds a lot better, and even better, goes better!

Cheers!

Or one better, have a mate whos 4th year sheet metal apprentice and all he charges is the price of the 180degree mandrel bend :headbang: mates rates :rolleyes:

I just got my cat back 3" redone alot straighter and removed the resonater for $50 (used the old muffler, which needs to be repacked)

it pulls more at top end, ide say its gained a few kw compared to the last 3" cat back because it was very bendy and had an old rusted resonater

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
