Hi
I've got a new Nismo exhaust fitted - just want to free up more of that lovely sound. Does anyone have Ultimate Racing ceramic hfc with a Nismo or can anyone find clips of what this combination sounds like - is it similar to the Kinetix (which are all ceramic) hfc with a Nismo? I have heard issues with metallic hfc where the cores can burn out or only lasting two to three years and issues with cracks on Kinetix hfc (all something to do with the lack of flex in the Nismo Y-pipe) but not heard of any issues at all with the Ultimate Racing ceramic ones.

I got my Nismo exhaust second hand - it was in very good condition and the sound when you get over 2500 revs is lovely. It's not much louder than stock. My stock exhaust had a blow in it (made the stock exhaust sound pretty good) so was actually louder than my new Nismo so I have a quiet car again. Just want it slightly louder. It certainly revs much harder. Just want a bit more sound (and of course power). Kinetix would have been my choice being ceramic (I've heard bad stories of the metal cores of metalic hfc) but not ceramic ones, however the Kinetix are very prone to cracking. Love the sound the Kinetix make but wondered if Ultimate Racing ceramic ones would sound similar. Just cannot find any sound clips. I'm sure there was one on Youtube of a guy in Germany or Spain but for the life of me cannot find it.

EDIT: I have found the youtube clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3YQrfOOC1o - Does anyone know if these are more likely to be the ceramic or metal cats that this guy has used (unfortunatley he doesn't say)?

Thanks for any help and info.

 

sounds pretty damn good lol

then again i got a nismo exhaust haha

 

lol yeah I agree But my Nismo definitely isn't sounding like the one in the clip - I definitely need to get some high flow cats. Have heard the Ultimate Racing are one of the most reliable (touch wood) but before I shell out loads of cash just want to make sure they add a nice sound too.
