Has anybody ever used a Kakimoto R exhaust on their CRX? Look at the following links:

Any info would be appreciated.

While I dont know about this specific exhaust, Kakimoto is an excellent exhaust company...high quality and very nice pieces

 

dang. never heard of them before. that site looks familiar in the pics and stuff though. im sure if its japanese that its good

 

Any one know a Kakimoto dealer? I want one for my crx. I've heard one on a Miata and it sounded really good.

 

kakimoto is the same company as rs akimoto, you can tell by their logo

 

There is a US distributor for Kakimoto, and theres even a USDM Kakimoto website...however I forgot both, lol. I was gonna use thier downpipe and exhaust on my S13, but sold her before I got around to SR20 it...

 

Bump

 

I believe http://www.BoomPlusToys.net/ is a distributor. They quoted me over $500 for the Kakimoto system, a few months back. It's one of the few 60mm for EFs. If you guys want I can post some pics of the exhaust later, forgot my we-todd-did-racing.com password.

 

Does anyone have any pics of the exhaust besides the drawing on the site? It looks pretty sweet!

 

Theres a picture of it in Hyper Rev vol 31. Its pretty small though.

I will try to scan it soon. (Scanner's not working at the moment!)

RS Akimoto was/is a US based company...

 

I just got an email back from Boom Plus Toys. The Kakimoto catback for the CRX is $639. I'm not sure if it it's worth paying $200 more than Greddy or Themal.

 

I guess it depends on whether you want 50mm or 60mm piping... The GReddy is only 50mm, and I believe the Thermal is as well... another exhaust with 60mm piping for our cars is Espelir... not too sure if anyone has had experience with these...they are a bit cheaper than the Kakimoto...

 

tanabe hyper and racing super meadallions are 60mm too. they can be had for 483 with or without a groupbuy.

Greddy DOES make 60mm piping (Greddy MX system), but for the crx. It will fit the Civic - all you need to do is have a straight extension pipe made to go btwn the B-pipe & rear section; the length being 7.5" - I had one made with flanges for $40 (at hybridgarage online).
Price for the exhaust was $473 shipped from groupbuycenter.com
