Scutch0 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 So I'd been on the hunt for a new exhaust for my na for a while, as since I've had it it's had a blitz nur spec s rear box, and I fitted a cw first decat. Unfortunately the stock (with no boxes) midsection is looking pretty tired, so I knew a new exhaust would be on the cards. So I bought a kakimoto cat back from a member on here, (initially I wasn't sure what it was, but after some research I'd discovered it was a kakimoto) it had a few battle scars, but seemed ok, however on closer inspection all of the baffling was missing from the rear scilencer So after a text to the seller, he kindly agreed to fund the work to get it sorted:thumbs: So I gave it a cleanup anyway in preparation of getting it sorted So I took the rear silencer to a local company who I'd seen had very good reviews called flow dynamics in Bletchley, spoke to dan who was a top bloke, and left the rear section with them, got a message the next morning telling me it was all done, and recieved these pictures! Dead chuffed would highly reccomend flow dynamics, as after a chat with dan I discovered that they make manifolds, and even work with titanium! I also yesterday re-instated its identity... Couldn't find a original plate for it, so used a sticker as a mask and sprayed it on with high heat paint. And if the weather holds out I shall be fitting it today hopefully! Can't wait!

Shane Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Nice job. Thats good and wish I had known about these guys earlier in the year as they are not far from here. I got really messed about by a guy called Dec who trades as DB Tints and ended up snatching all my bits back and doing it myself. What did he charge for that?

Scutch0 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Cost was £80 dependant on size (it cost me £80 exactly), which I thought was a bargain, especially as most people bin exhausts when they get like this, £80 and it's like brand new, plus the new core is 304 stainless, so won't rot out like the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Somebody who had originally owned my car had done something similar to my Kakimoto K1 exhaust too, they were worth quite a bit of money new iirc. £80 is a steal IMO too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Very nice job. It's great to see people putting old parts back into service as oppose to rushing out to buy new items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Thanks for posting this up, being look for a company to do a little work for me. Looks like this is the website? http://www.flowdynamics.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks for the love guys! I'm tempted to change the font lip to the kansai one, unfortunately the paintwork is letting the car down now, so some work will be required in the not so distant future Abz, yes that is the place, speak to dan! He knows his stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way the car looks stunning, and before you start thinking about re-painting it look what detailing can achieve! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?270010-Abz-s-white-NA-Supra-at-Invisible-Touch-Detailing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Car looks stunning bud, some facelift headlights and black accents would look ace! Results on the Exhaust, job looks a good'un! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread to think what that's gonna cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scutch0 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks hammer! Cheers Richie, yeah it sounds good, louder than I thought but that's probably because of the first decat, but it has that distinctive 2jz sound now, which it didn't really have before with the rasping, I guess it was just the smaller bore pipe work. definately noticed more punch from lower revs too, she's been spinning through first and into second since it's been fitted. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 That supra is stunning, looks perfect. Don't change to a kansai lip, the rmm looks so much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Bieber Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 The exhaust looks great! Would you mind popping up a video, I've just picked up one of these for my N/A and I'm wondering what it sounds like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scutch0 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 That supra is stunning, looks perfect. Don't change to a kansai lip, the rmm looks so much better! Hi thanks! I'm not sure, I'd like it to sit a little lower at the front as it's stock height at the moment, but I'm already catching the rmm front a lot already, so if I go lower I'll need to change lip! The exhaust looks great! Would you mind popping up a video, I've just picked up one of these for my N/A and I'm wondering what it sounds like? Yeah no worries I'll try and sort out a Video today looks awesome bud, always loved the Kakimoto exhaust careful advertising other companies though Thanks bud! Yeah same, kakimoto is definitely one of my faves! Sorry, I didn't realise I was advertising, I was just so pleased with the job they did, I felt other local members may want to consider them in the future! Good stuff! I have just ordered myself a HKS Silent Hi-Power, cant wait for it to come although i'm not expecting it to be too loud Now that is my favourite exhaust, I've heard one on a decated na, and it sounded great, fairly loud with both cats out, but great all the same!
