i'm here, i'm here guys... sorry i was playing GT5P last night and letting my wife play online games so didn't go online after work.... now... exhaust.. yeah i've got it... and yes it's very loud... actually too loud.... the pipe isn't straight, well kinda of... it has 2 bends, kinda 35 degree angle to past the fuel tank under the car... then the rest are straight... i only have stock extractors, and originally fitted a de-cat but it was just too damn loud so replace the de-cat with a hot-dog type silencer and fitted the buddy club silencer at the back of the muffler, and still was loud.... it's about 100db with what i have done to it at the redline... if you remove the rear muffler silencer then you're gonna be really silly and get pulled over really quick... it's so loud you can be heard 2 km away... no joke.... i done it once in the city... and everyone was looking at me... thinking what the hell!!!.... i got warned not to drive my car on the circuit unless if i fitted the rear silencer back on.... since neigbours around the circuit complained to them when i was driving on the circuit once and within 20mins over 150 calls were complaints... and you may be aware that most circuits has a legal noise limit of 98db... so i was way over that, and luckly i know the guy who runs the circuit so he even let me back on the circuit even though it's at 100db with the silencers.... so.... i hope you know what i'm trying to say.... this exhaust will not be legal in nearly all countries with noise restrictions... but, it does provide about 4kW power gain on high rpm but you'll lose some torque on the low to mid area... |

BC series catbacks go from nosiest to quietest (but the quietest BC is still stupidly loud) BC Spec I (discontinued) is a straight through with no muffler, BC Spec II is a straight through with one resonator from what I can see and no muffler, BC Spec III has a single resonator and a muffler, BC Spec IV same as BC Spec III but has in built silencer. ... Its better to listen to the sound clips of the Buddyclub exhausts and see if you like them because they produce a note that you either love or hate... |

which kakimoto do you have? kakimoto R or kakimoto full mega n1? if it's the kakimoto full mega n1 then that one's actually pretty loud... kakimoto makes awesome exhaust and i reckon the regu 06 is the best exhaust out there. too bad they dont make it for the ae111 |

i think ur mixin mine up wit the older one which is much louder mine is fitted wit the big muffler its the latest one as far as i no and only 93db i jus wanted something wit bit more grunt im in two minds to be honest i haven even dyno my car wit the kakimoto system on it so ill see tho. explains below Kakimoto Racing Full Mega N1 The Kakimoto Full Mega N1 exhaust features a large mid muffler for the reduction of excessive noise. However, this new design does not dramatically reduce flow and combined with the straighest design possible improves engine response and power. Features - High performance muffler with straight piping for improved exhaust flow. - Designed to meet the new 93db JASMA noise limit - Stainless Steel construction SUS304 Edited by devo, Jul 8 2008, 05:36 PM.

ya the "full mega n1 +rev"... right? i've just double checked the kakimoto racing site and ya its the one i always thought it was definitely over 93 db... but if i had to choose another exhaust for my car i'd be choosing between either kakimoto full mega n1 or hks silent high power, depends on which one gives less drone.. what i'm trying to say.. i'd keep the kakimoto, purely for the improved comfort over buddyclub and power gains, if it's your daily drive.

as dreadangel said the BC spec 2 has got a resonator (hot dog/silencer) in the middle, but it also has a detachable silencer at the back.... the detachable silencer is not just a simple funnel, it actually has some fibres (those white cloth things) which reduces the sound and bit of emmissions (tiny bit of that)... also BC starts from loudest spec 1 to quietest spec 4... since they now need to sell exhausts that pass the JASMA regulations... i think it's better for you to have a ride in the other guys car with the BC exhaust and also listen to it driving pass at high rpm and then justify yourself if you want to do the swap... listening to them on u tube isn't that accurate since i know... also i have videos of my exhaust sound but just can't post them up on the net since it's a VCR tape not digital... so need to convert it first.... i remember there was even another kakimoto racing full mega n1 called hyper 2000... not sure if that was the loud or quiet one... so really there's 4 type's of n1... there's full mega N1, full mega N1 +rev, hyper 2000 full mega N1, and dual full mega N1 (for turbo cars)... yeah hearing it from a far distance depends on if he fitted the rear silencer or not... so best to listen to both differences without the rear silencer too before you make up your mind... |

Talk to Buddy Club UK mate... http://www.buddyclubuk.com/ Much easier to contact and talk with than the other official Buddy Club distributors. Otherwise look for local BC distributors =) Buddy Club has a fair few around Europe so finding one shouldn't be hard at all =) Edited by DreadAngel, Oct 6 2008, 11:41 PM.

Thats the main problem with buddyclub systems. They struggle to comply with uk mot law on sound pollution. |

They are usually very light so in a way you save weight

the advantages of spec II: increase power "only" at high rpm lightweight exhaust extra inner silencer at the rear tip which will reduce noise "only" by about 5db the disadvantage of spec II: loose mid range torque too noisy even with extra inner silencer, still above 95db won't pass any road inspection unless noise is solve don't think it will pass emission test since i have yet to test this not recommended to install a de-cat with this exhaust, otherwise even more noiser more likely hood of cops pulling you over the extra spring clips will break off all the time, therefore weld the two piece together is better |
