Anto Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi All, I have the option to buy a second hand Kakimoto Racing cat back system and wondered what the thoughts on them are... It would be going on an N/A with second decat and the seller tells me it is 2.7" internal diameter. What sort of quality and noise level should I expect...? Cheers.

That_Supra_Guy Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 N/A with a Decat = Loud! +1 on loud.... I'm currently running a 5zigen stainless system with the middle silencer removed and even with a bung (god damn things stuck) it's pretty damn loud when you give it some. But why would you want it quiet? That's why toyota gave us the prius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anto Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Nice loud or stupid offensive loud...? I have no near neighbours and don't do much motorway driving so would I like it or would it p*** me off after a while....? Would an after market dB killer/bung work to tame it down a bit..?

David P Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 A double decat and a 3" HKS Silent Power on my N/A, was loud enough to loosen fillings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 It will be loud! Might get annoying at times but that's the joys of having a supra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the exhaust system too of course, but mines with the bung in is actually surprisingly quiet if you're careful and just cruising around and even good on the motorway. If you were listening to music it wouldn't be so loud as to annoy you, just a constant faint humming. Of course when you want to give er' some beans, the noise is somewhat sexual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I have a kakimoto on my TT and it is by far the best sounding exhaust in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Sell it on to b-w and get yourself a 2.5" two box system and get rid of both cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I would snap it up if the price is right, Kakimoto are one of the premium exhaust brands in Japan (rare outside of Japan), they make 2 exhaust models specifically for the 2JZGE (70mm piping) and 2 for the 2JZGTE (80mm piping), they are just a little louder than a stock exhaust but as said removing the cats on an NA makes the exhaust a lot louder.

Guess I just got lucky....... Sell it on to b-w and get yourself a 2.5" two box system and get rid of both cats. This is the 70mm version so I don't suppose it would work too well on his....

DodgyRog Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I put one on my N/A before going TT and it was mega loud, you could physically feel the sound from the exhaust. I was fully decated though As I am sure a few from the Dragonball will tell you, even now I am TT it's still loud About 1 minute in on this Video from the Dragonball this year, so TT BPU [video=youtube_share;c5oTgG-E2gE] And this is N/A full Decat, it was with my Phone and it seems to deaden the noise when it get to a certain volume, but give you an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anto Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 So it seems like like all the advice was right, this is waaaay too loud, even with the bung in place (can't get it out anyway!).... I thought I liked it for the first couple of days, but after a week now, it has to go :-( I guess a Whifbitz twin box is the way forward.... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 There'll be someone out there with a T.T. who''ll swap you a 2.5" system to get their sticky paws on that trendy badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I had a kakimoto exhaust on a fully decatted NA..... to make matter worse the previous bender owner had cut out the baffle which made it horrendous. When it had the bung in it didn't sound too bad and just a bit louder without the bung and then I wisely went full decat......... on the way home from Austec I thought I was going to die and had a massive migraine by the time I had driven 30miles home which is ironic that I technically got hurt by a car not in an accident. My neighbours hated me (good I hate them too) for quite a while after I had the decats up until the point I brought a Whifbitzs twin box 2.5 (part of me wonders if I should of gone single box) The best part was having earplugs in and driving down a narrow road with cars parked either side seeing how many alarms can be set off blipping the throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have one on my TT, fully decatted, its by far the loudest Supra amongst the Supra owners I know.. I enjoy it as I use the car as a weekend car.. But mine is the 3.5" version.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have a performance manifold, In to a middle box in to a back box and out. I don't think it's offensive at all, I had the middle box out once, that was OTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anto Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 My neighbours hated me (good I hate them too) for quite a while after I had the decats up until the point I brought a Whifbitzs twin box 2.5 (part of me wonders if I should of gone single box) I've just mailed Paul to quote me for a 2.5" twin box..... How would you describe the sound as compared to the stock system? Don't suppose you have any sound clips or videos of yours....? I want something a little fruitier but the Kak is completely over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
