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.

:cheers:

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

    • 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.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
