that is one rare exhaust..! thumbs up for for the uniqueness. Kakimoto racing is really popular on r32/33/34

 

Thanks guys. Yeah I've seen that they're super popular with the GT-R crowd. I'm surprised more people don't have this exhaust.....it's not that expensive. Shipping kills it though.

It's made of stainless, but it's supposed to be really thin piping to make it extra light. I'm installing it today, so I'll post a pic when I finish getting it on.

 

thats not actually a positive thing imo. Titanium exhausts are lightweight because it is 45% lighter then steel and 2x stronger then steel. I hope for your sake you do not bottom out on your exhaust.

 

mmmm kakimoto!! sounds sooo amazing. post up an exhaust clip once its on!!

 

how much did the OP get the kakimoto for? sick! i had one on my s13 and loved it. definitely rare and awesome. post sound clips up when youre done installing

 

 

Yeah I thought about that also before buying the exhaust, and it did have me really freaked out because my car is low.

But after holding it and seeing it, the construction on the piping doesn't seem to be any thinner really than an HKS or GReddy exhaust. I had the GReddy duals on before this and the piping looks basically the same, just difference in diameter. Material is SUS304, so it should hold up unless I really bottom out bad on something. The exhaust doesn't really hang low at all, and it's super solid too. After installing it yesterday, I tried wiggling it back and forth so see if there was a lot of play in movement or anything, and I could barely get it to move at all.


I'll get a video up this weekend for everyone. I'm going to shoot an identical one to the vid I made for my greddy exhaust, here:

ITOzaan, those wheels are badass! I have the TE37SL sweatshirt hahaha

 

Not hating but ur old wheels looked way better than this set. Makes me feel like u got rotas or something cheap. Might be because I never liked volks since everyone has them. Idk...

In the other hang. Got my HID cooler done! Hids gt hot too!!! :P

 

Not a fan of the TiC on a NA car. However im looking forward to the new single. Hopefully it sounds diff then the others out there. I dont see a res so i guess it will sound like JIC SS single. GL

 

Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the sound either....that's why I got rid of it hahaha It looked good IMO, but it sounded too throaty and soul-less haha

Anyway, this Kakimoto one I'm really pleased with so far. I know it's going to get louder in about a week too, because I'm still breaking it in or whatever. But so far it sounds freaking awesome.

 

It's all about the tracktime/function/tire selection on 18's man

The TE37SL are not that bad. Crappy picture don't help. The finish is really nice.

In terms of the old wheels, I might still keep them for DD..

^^ i see your point A ... hope you do keep the old set for DD! Btw how is the supercharger treating you so far?

 

I prefer 18s. just me

 

Track /drift and autox 18 and 19 for looks

 

Your TE's are sexy but i have to agree with lito, your GTS's were sexier

 

Car is running good; not a single problem since day one. I had the compression check after a year of boosting at 7.5psi, running healthy. Only problem facing at the moment is freaking traction! I recently got her super de-tuned and tq is sitll a big issue lol. 340rwtq/310rwhp.

How about your car? How do you like the boost?

Nice ^
