When my car arrived from Japan i was mighty surprised to see it had come with a catback exhaust on it. When trying to find out what brand it was on the side of the muffler said kakimoto racing.
Seeing i have never heard of this and the search on this forum brough up nothing, i was wondering if this is a good exhaust?

Pics

 

do a google search, the piping doesnt look too big, usually the point of aftermarket exhaust is to promote airflow.

 

kakimoto is a great company, but it looks like your car jus has the muffler. cuz the piping looks real small hehe

btw use some silverware polish to clean up that muff !

 

Yea the muffler is now shining. By the way the factory exhaust came in the trunk so this is all new piping and it looks much larger in person then it does in the pics. Unless its some kinda new phase to get a new muffler with small piping.

 

I guess what i can do is line the factory piping up next to it and check myself. I'll post pics up later.

 

i own a kakimoto.. sounds awesome doesnt it

 

Yea it duz sound much better then all the other honda rice bumbles bees around here. Nice bassy tone to it. Btw duz yours look like mine?

heh heh you said kak.

 

good company, rare exhaust too, most ppl spoon this and mugen that...

 

Wow guess my car came with quite a surprise. Reminds me of my friend who ordered a prelude and when it landed found out it had mugen headers. Lucky bastige.

 

Well found out the size piping on is 2.25" would my car benefit more if the piping was upgraded to 2.5". Should i just save my money and be happy with the 2.25" piping. Newb question I know but i am still learning.

Thanks

 

save your money. it'll only really help if you're going to boost or NOS it later. for now try to eliminate other bottlenecks

best of luck

 

yeah it kinda looks like yours.. cept the muffler.. has a badge on it.. it says "kakimoto sport or kakimoto exhaust" i forget.. and it has some jap letters on it too... its shiner though

 

lets see a picture of the whole car !

 

^word

 

Here is the whole car the outside is just basically stock. Plan to maybe get sum 16" lightweight wheels if the money is right.



Stock engine with just a short ram intake



Took this pic for people that didnt believe my car came from japan

 

Yea the muffler on mine has the kakimoto badge on it. The muffler looks like that because it was sitting on a boat out in the ocean being shipped here for 5 weeks, so the salt water doesnt help it much.

 

Bump for the ppl that requested the pics

 

lets hear the exhaust!!!

 

looks sickk.. i was thinking about converting to rhd.. but its HELLA work.. and considering its my only car for now.. its not the brightest of ideas.. sexy looking car and good luck in the future!

 

Hey man thanks for the encouragement. I will keep yall updated as i go along. As for the sound clip of the exhaust i will have to see about trying to do that. Im not promising anything.
