I have the HKS Silent Hi-Power, it is not silent. Hate to think what the non-silent model sounds like. Has a nice rumble and sounds amazing at high revs but would be around the 100-110dB mark for sure

X2.

Interestingly enough, when i ordered my HKS from Nengun a year or two back, i was tossing up between the Trust PE2 or the HKS Hi-Power Silent. The photo they have listed for the HKS shows the exhaust with a center muffler. At the time they were similarly priced, and IMO looked identical so chose HKS for no apparent reason.

But as we both know, it comes with a straight pipe with im gonna go for an "illusion" of a resonator slightly bulging in the mid pipe, and the cannon on the rear. It was louder than i expected it to be but i was expecting a center muffler too.

It can be a tad droney on the highways at times, but if you keep it at a steady rpm it more or less goes silent.

When i listen to Lith's one side by side with mine and go for a drive i might keep my eye out for a Trust item to replace it with. But i do like that bark.... :ermm:

Theres nothing quite like winding down the windows in a narrow tunnel and listening to that RB roar at full boost!

We'll definitely sort that out - possibly sooner rather than later as it seems the reliable daily driver (my second one in just over 6 months) seems it may have decided to carnage itself so Moby will AGAIN be relegated to daily driver duties. If thats the case, I'll be down in Welly sooner rather than later to get woman.

With the mixture of turbo whistle and PE2 sweetness the Skyline would go down a treat in a tunnel. Hell a road with building on either side is pretty awesome :P

i have the same looking exhaust as MINTR33. a twin pipe looking thing from the cat back. mine however had 3 hotdogs, JASMA muffler with DTM tips. must say i hate the look of the tips :P

exhaust looks great from the rear and have numerous comments about it. sounds quiet enough to me. if anything i would want it a bit louder. might remove 2 hotdogs :ermm:

will be taking it down to my exhaust shop soon to remove the DTM tips and replace with 2 3 or (if i cna fit) 3.5 inch tips. if i have enough cash might remove hotdogs and see how it sounds :D

pics up soon

veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery dirty!!! was on car in this condition when i bought it! wouldnt mind doing something to clean it up including the insides. any ideas??

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
