SteveR Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 SOLD ------ [From the] 'cat back' exhaust for sale. Just taken it off my Supe as I needed a quieter exhuast for track use. In need of a good scrub, so I'll post pics when I've had chance to do that. There is a crease in the front-facing part of the silencer box (lol, silencer, yeah right ) where one of the previous owners must have caught it on something but it doesn't seem to affect it at all. Price will be added once I see how well it scrubs up. EDIT: Price and pics added in post 32, here. ----- SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 "Inspired and designed from endurance and GT racing in Japan, HKS developed its Hi-Power Exhaust system for both turbocharged and naturally aspirated applications. HKS has incorporated this new race inspired offset muffler and piping design into many street applications, which offers a greater flow and higher-PRM power gains due to the less restrictive design. This is achieved by eliminating unnecessary bends for the straightest exhaust path. For turbocharged applications, the large and smooth exhaust flow allows greater exhaust velocity for better mid-range boost response and high-RPM power. Naturally aspirated vehicles also benefit from greater exhaust flow capacity as engine tuning levels increase." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 its a bit loud is it? Im on the lookout for a quiet exhaust so Im assuming this one isnt it? I measured it (static) at 95dB at 5000rpm from 1m at 45degrees on my single. It's not as loud as some but it's certainly not quiet; if it were I'd have kept it. I've fitted a Tanabe Touring Medallion instead now, very impressed with the quality & noise; refined but still reasonably audible for that grin factor; Bignum measured his (again on a single) as 88dB at 0.5m & 45degrees I think.

Branners Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 hmm, I believe the stock system is 87db so that is quiet. Even 95db isnt too bad, thats nurspec with baffle territory. I will see what the Tanabe sounds like and then decide from there. good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see what the Tanabe sounds like and then decide from there. 95dB isn't that bad, you're right. It's borderline for the Ring though and personally I found it a little too loud for my tastes, so primarily for the first reason, it had to go. The Tanabe is great. I'll take some footage if you like, it's nice & quiet but you can still hear the tone of the engine. A nice balancing act! Is yours 90mm? As mine is really noisey. Hmm I will have to check that - will measure up tomorrow. What sort of money mate i dont mind the dirty look . what sort of price mate, i dont mind loud on anything with more than 4 cylinders I honestly don't know - I know these sell for £800ish new, but min is far from that. I'd guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
