Here is a picture of the Kakimoto R 70mm (2.5" ID) fully stainless steel catback exhaust picture.

 

I like the size of the piping, but never really liked oval style mufflers. Otherwise its cool cuz the piping is a true 2.5 inches.

 

lucky! thats the exhaust i want!

 

how much in CAD?

can you get another? if so how long does it take?

is it available for the EG as well?

 

are there any restrictions? if so, how many and what do they neck down to?

 

I can see 2 silencers in the b-pipe...pretty sure the piping is 70mm the whole way though.

 

I'll be first to ask...How does it sound?

 

The narrowest diameter on the whole b-pipe is the area near the flanges, and the ID at those points are still 2.5" ID.

The sound of the Kakimoto R is 96db and under with deep growl. So pretty quiet, but people will know you have an aftermarket exhaust!!

That is secksy

 

How big is that Tip?

 

if the area around the flanges is 2.5" and is the narrowest what is the diameter at the widest and through the WHOLE b-pipe??

Doesn't look very 'free flowing'..

 

That is what I am talking about I wish I could get mdy hands on one of those for my SI

 

I don't have any measurement myself, but I found this in the"search", JPP who have this exhaust on his R and here is his measurement on the Kakimoto R!!

"At the cat conv. connection the ID is 63 mm (2.5")
The rest of the tubing is 67 mm ( 2 5/8") ID. No bottlenecks in the tubing."


The muffler is straight out, the big muffler and the two resonators are there to reduce noise!!

very nice..but it doesnt that free flowing..whats good with tuning reviews or something!!

 

very nice looking exhaust system, how much do they run? gotta start saving now

 

The last time I got to see this exhaust in person, it does seem like the exhaust is not free flowing, but it is quite free flowing. The big cannister in the back (muffler) acts as a sound dampening muffler (big one too) It is a straight through design and quiet muffler for those who want a relatively free flowing exhaust without the fart sound coming out from other N1 exhaust systems.

 

Take a pic of the flange that bolts up to the catalytic converter. It looks like there is a bottle neck there.

 

Yes there is a bottle neck at the cat flange... it is 63mm. But that is neccessary if not there is no way that there will be flange that can accomodate a 70mm piping while bolting up to the cat flange!

 

Yes, as I stated before, the ID at the flange bolt up to the catalytic converter is 63mm ID (2.5") and the rest of the b-pipe is 67mm ID. So yes, there is a bottle neck there, but it still 2.5" ID!!

 

is the b-pipe available for sale without the muffler?

 

Looks very nice and well built.

 

Looks good! Show some pics when you have it on the car.

 

As soon as this freaking winter is over (hopefully in a month) I will install the exhaust on my ITR. I will take some pictures and post them. The Kakimoto is very high quality and is very free flowing. I will have the car on the dyno this spring but unfortunatly it will not show the increase of only the exhaust as I will also tune the Toda spec B.

 

So how much noise does this exhaust produce. Loder than stock? N1 style? Buzzy or Deeper tone? Any information would be appreciated.
