i was about to get a shovel to hit you with then bury you. too serious huh?? :)

was that a 'mates rates' quote? and im assuming mild steel with a chrome tip? 3" mandrel bends?

nope not mates rates..

i just walked in and asked lol

they did few of my cars b4 but i dont think they remember

550 with a 3" tip

or 650 with a dual tip muffler

Hey guys.

Since we are now talking about "local" quotes, I thought I would throw one out there (for all the many M35 drivers in VIC!)

3" turbo back

Mandrel bent Mild Steel with aluminium coating (no rusting)

HiFlow cat (Magnaflow)

Stainless steel muffler with a choice of tips.

$1100 installed.

OR

$800 from OE dump back.

Talk to Glen at Exhaust Plus in Pakenham (just up the road, eh Nick?)

dunno yet, get a quote from castle hill i guess and then compare. BUT i need to go to melb anyway to get the emanage tuned (once its installed) so i MAY take a 'holiday' and head down there for a few days over a weekend and get it all done at once.........

Old thread.

Atleast i use the search button.

who currently has a kakimoto R.

Seeing as my exhaust virtually fell off the other day. needs replacing, and I think I like the look of the Kakimoto.

anyone rate it?

too loud? restrictive?

I seen a few on IM for $1100(or near abouts) delvivered..

Fujitsubo legalis would be good, but I kinda like the Kakimoto..

I'm pretty sure bbenny is running a Kakimoto.

Quote from bbenny;

Ive got the Kakimoto also.

To be honest I have found any problems with scraping. Its the same under the car as the stock - the only bit that is lower is the tip, Ive scraped that a few times, but nothing bad.

My brother has the Fujitsubo Legalis on his. I think its a much neater looking exhaust and the tip sits nice and high. But my car is faster and the only difference is exhaust! so maybe it flows better... Mine definitely sounds better :P

Also, I think Just Jap do Kakimoto...

Edited by Daleo

Blitz is very nice IMO.

Around stock noise levels (unbelievable!) although a tiny bit louder when under load... Still, much quieter than the Legalis and not even in the same league as what you had.

Same sized pipe as the Kakimoto and I would imagine it is quite free flowing looking at the design.

    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
