Exhausts

[sewelly]

Just looking into getting a new exhaust for my mr2 rev 1 n/a g-limited tbar. Been told kakimoto exhaust are the dogs go nads. Just wanting your opinions on these and any others. Im looking for something not to loud and give a good bhp increase...

cant say about na's but the kakimoto exhaust on my turbo is deep and burbly but not loud at all. has a glorious tone at about 3k revs and if you floor it from about 4k upwards it howls like a mo fo. but once you lift off and drive sensibly it quietens down again :)

I had a Kakimoto, it looked pretty tidy with a 5" tailpipe. It sounded okay but wasn't very loud or deep really. Got a powerflow twin oval exhaust now which sounds much beefier I think. Didn't notice any performance difference between the two.

Just wondering where you can get the kakimoto exhausts from and about what price?

[shaf2000]

kakimoto exhausts are very rare over here mate, especially for na's.

if you are lucky to find one here then about £200ish, if not then a used one from japan for £350 or a new one for about £500-£600

I Had a kackimoto on mine for a short while and it sounded fu*king ace, It was louder than I thought and seemed to get louder every time I used it. It wasn't til I came to service it I realised I had blown a hole the sixe of my fist in to the top of the silencer!!! - other than that it was spot on....

I now have a toms racing exhaust which is nice but not loud enough for me.... now i'm sad!

Matt.

my advice........

stick a hole the size of yor fist through it and you'll be happy with the way it sounds again ;)

I've got a full system Kakimoto Manifold back can say its quite loud nice racing sound surprised me as its silence, mines on a 2.0 16v celica think they sound best on none turbo cars, mates got the same on his pulsar and mine alot louder. adds a bit of power too. I say get one im very happy with it.

Are we talking about the same brand here? Lol. My Kakimoto was very quiet, just gave a slight raspy sound at 3-4000rpm, it never seemed to get that loud.

My Kakimoto was pony, too quiet, too restrictive and didn't like the big back box and single exit.

Now got a H&S and it's the dogs ..
