HKS supper dragger

[rs73]

I found this photo from SDU forum...

I only have the back part of HKS supper dragger, what is the other part in grey piping, is that the cat?

[rs73]

oops forgot the pic... here it is..

That's the resonator.

It stops all the in cabin drone that can happen.

Some people run them without them, but I wouldn't recomend it, plus these Jap exhausts tend to be JUST legal, removing (or not using) a resonator could push you over the limit

Can I use the factory resonator with the end pipe?

Or can it be fabricated and how much?????

my 5Zigen system on NOZILR had no resonator and no cat for a bit. was hella loud but sounded oh so sexy!!

The item you are pointing at is just a resonator its basically just straight through and is fiberglass packed

the photo is basically a cat back system consisting of two resonators and a rear muffler!!(all straight through being a super dragger system!)

P.s a converter usually look like this!

[rs73]

Is that converter section = the resonator section that I don't have?

If I can't get my hands on that missing section, considering you said it's only straight thru with fibreglass packing, will that be easy to fabricate in local workshop and produce the same level of quietness with the original HKS cat back system?

[PranK]

you may just have the super dragger cannister and tip?

[rs73]

unfortunately I just found out yes, I thought it was cat-back system, but what has been said in this thread it looks like I only have the rear section of the system...missing the middle resonator section...

[MegaGTS4]

Yes it can be fabricated with ease!! but most exhaust shops have straight through resonators just not HKS brand!!(should be just as quiet!) just make sure you get the ones with the perfirated pipe not fluted (perf looks like someone drilled heaps of holes in it!)and the rest is just a few mandrel bends!(make sure there mandrel bends) and then you should have something just like the HKS brand stuff!!(I know this because I made my own exhaust for my car!!)

P.s the converter i showed you was off a RX7 s6

Thx MegaGTS4

If I don't want to fabricate a hi-flow or 3" pipe where the resonator section is, does anyone know if I can attach my HKS back part muffler to my factory resonator section without any mods/adapters?

[MegaGTS4]

you'll probably find your standard exhaust is 2 1/4 inch and the HKS is 3 inch then all you need is a 2 1/4 to 3 inch adapter that can be ordered at any local exhaust shop!(or you could take the car and the muffler to the shop and ask them how much it will cost to get it attached!) the standard system and the 3 inch take the same route!But will not perform as good as a cat back system and might not be as loud!!

MEGA

P.s if you made a flange and welded it to a 3 - 2 1/4 chrome tip you could use this as a reducer to join it to your standard exhaust!(just a thought because you can buy these tips anywhere and just paint it black when your done!)

[rs73]

thank's....

I don't want loud tho... that's a real turn off driving a loud car with all the drones... for me, a car should be quiet, so even hi flow exhaust needs to be quiet to win my favour :-)

I'll see how I go with the muffler, I hope I can get it done before next cruize, and if I don't go to tassie on the 27th

[rs73]

I've given the exhaust a polish... not perfectly clean tho, the other side of the pic still got some dirty area prob from spray over paint (maybe was taken off a white R33 before??)

What u guys think, I hope it wont be loud coz it's really huge...

[XrSiSt]

thats heel clean.. way cleaner than what mine came out azz..

It's not really that loud, but definately noticable due to the deep

tone it produces.
