C34 Exhaust

[Punk72]

Gday all

I am looking at getting a new exhaust system and I am wondering if anyone has used or got a HKS system off just jap, Main concern is how loud it will be?

Also what is the difference between the series 1 and 2 as they dont have any series 2 left,

I am looking at the HKS Hi-Power 409 Exhaust System, or maybe just go to a exhaust shop and get them to make one, any thoughts??

cheers

HKS do a Hi-Power silent exhaust that are reasonably quite due to there being an extra muffler

They have them at nengun.com heres the link http://www.nengun.com/hks/high-power-exhaust-silent

They can normally have the items to your door in under 2 weeks

thanks stu, now i don't want to sound fussy but i have a very quiet system on at the moment so i am hoping for something a bit louder so not to quiet and not to loud, lol

if thats not to much to ask for.

I run one. They are rated at 92db

It is not too loud and does not drone.

I use to run a fujistabo legarus R (waht ever they are called) at 89db and was too quite. Hardly heard it

There is hardly any difference between series 1 and 2 exahust. I have had both on my car. Maybe one mount is slightly different, can't remember

The HKS Hi-Power Silent and the 409 are basically the same thing, just the silent is made from shinny 304 grade stainless and the 409 is made from exhaust grade 409 stainless. i think the main difference between S1 and S2 is the length.

i run a 409 system in my car, it has a middle muffler as well as the cannon tip. its not quite, but its not obnoxiously loud. my car is an auto and there is some drone in the cabin especially when travelling at 80-90kph that can get a little annoying when stuck at that speed limit for 1-2hrs. but its nothing the volume knob on the stereo doesn't fix.

how much are the 409's going for at the moment? might be cheeper to get one made up at an exhaust shop, at least then you can get a couple big mufflers put on it to get it really quite if you want. i must say though, the HKS exhaust is a quality made system and it really was as easy as bolting it on, all the hangers lined up, angles were perfect etc.

i got a hks silent on my s2, and it sounds really nice, no drone, no nothing, only thing i really really miss is the burble i used to get from only having resonators in my system. the muffler is a bit big so it kind of removes of the burble.

but i do say its heaps quiet, i tested mine with a db meter a while back and i got 87dB, that was with a 3"cat 200cell, and 3"bellmouth dump.

thing is, hks only has the preset tips for the exhaust, so no twin endpot or so. just the big oven pipe

also it would be very expensive to get a mandrel bent exhaust made in 3" 304 steel.

but then just choose 1 endpot and 1 resonator. sounds blooody sweet!!!

p.s if you want a vid and sound clip of the silent system, jut let me know

i used to have the hks hi power on mine and i thought it was the best system ive had, not too loud not too quiet and zero drone IMO

[Punk72]

I am thinking of going the non silent one as i don't want to end up with listening to the fan belt rather then the engine again. The hks 409 is selling for $999 on just jap.

I am still waiting to hear back from just jap on eta of new stock so i might go around some exhaust shops the only problem is there isn't much choice down here in tas.

cheers for all your feed back

[FLYSLY]

as one of the other guys said nengun.com thats where i got mine from and have bought a few other things from them and never had a problem

[Brendan&Ana]

just dont forget 90db @ 4800rpm for our cars is the legal limit u dont want 2 go through the hassle of getting done by the epa or cops

I have a spare stagea/skyline exhaust sitting at home if you wish to buy? 3" with rear twin tip stainless muffler. Came off the rb26, but as far as Im aware they should suit both 25 and 26 models. Not 100% sure though

Is the exhaust off a stag or skyline as the the skyline exhaust is 60mm shorter, just enough to be a pain, is it full stainless or just muffler and how much you looking for it??

[JZZ20]

Yeah it came off my S1 RS260 Stagea. I will admit it is mild steel I think, but a stainless muffler. I'll dig it out tonight and take a happy snap of it. I wouldn't want much for it mate. $200 would suit me. But just noticed you are in Tassie, so not sure what shipping would set ya back. I havnt gotten around to posting it up in the classifieds as yet.

freight would cost more then the item, if i lived closer or if it was stainless i would take you up on the offer.

thanks any way

[dirtyRS4]

I have a hks 409 exhaust, high flow cat, greddy front pipe and hks split dump. Good flow, fck all drone and hangers line up perfectly. Change your O2 sensor while your at it. IMO dont go for full stainless as it doesnt bend if the fitting is out a bit and dont buy a dump/front pipe bcos you can just replace the front pipe if you bottem out on kerbz and shit. Flex front pipes are decent for that. JDM stuff has the best gaskets and fitting.
