NB Exhausts?

[hks_kansei]

ok, I'm not looking to buy anything for now, but in future.

where are the NB Bolt ons?

there's plenty of NA ones, but for NB all I've been able to find is N*Power, Racing Beat (which N*power is a copy of).

the only other I've seen is Fujitsubo LegalisR (which from their site is actually quieter than stock)

and I saw a 5zigen for sale here a while ago, but it was sort of cannon like.


any others I'm not aware of?

Ideally I would like a Fujitsubo RM01, looks hot, sounds hot, but the cost!!! and the lack of an NB one sort of screws me.

Gahhh, go Fujitsubo!!

It's JDM, looks good, sounds good, will cook you dinner and will even get you world wide respect!


Do it!

town and country... unless you're too concerned about the jdm yo factor

edit - it's not a bolt on but it's local (well, geelong)

fujitsubo, though maybe quieter than stock at idle, it does have a sporty tone to it.

Note, most bolt on NB exhausts, are from the muffler only, hence why there is no RM01a.

No real catback system because the cat is in midpipe, unlike the NA or most other cars.

So they will give a deeper sporty tone, don't expect huge gains.

Notable exhaust:

Jet's Integral kobe, one of the best sounding exhausts for the NB

SP Motorsports (i.e. SMB). support your fellow aussies

[philz]

support Aussie wheels!

T&C will give around 6-8RWKW from the catback or around 12 with a steel cat. It is build in car system.

great note , read Toymx5's review.

The SP Motorsports exhaust is very good.
Not loud, but a nice tone and doesn't drone on the highway.

I've got their 2 1/2" system, and I'm very happy with it, even though it is now 8 years old.

It was a part of the SP when I bought it new.

note to people reading this: Benny has a turbo

on the recent putty rd run there was a NA8 LE with a SP motorsports system... 2.25" i think. god it sounded sexual.

i got one myself

I seem to recall hearing someone once saying that the SPM systems had a little bit of drone?

Any truth in that?


(I would love to get one, its just alot of money to part with)

Does the SP come stock with an SP(!) system of 2.5 inch?

It sure does!

No droning whatsoever with the SP system in the 8 years I've had my car.

I must admit, however, that one of the metal loops on the rear muffler had to be re-welded on after about 6 years or so, but other than that, it has been a very good system.
I've had a number of comments that it sounds good at WOT too.

I'd like to get a 3" system, but an expert told me that it is a very tight fit and that it would rattle and bang about a bit, so I've not gone ahead with it.

You can also change the tone and timbre of the sound by using different metals like stainless steel, but I have heard the best and deepest sound comes from using copper pipes, but I think they would be too heavy and difficult to get!
I did once hear a V8 with a copper exhaust. The car was owned by a plumber, and it sounded amazing.
Really deep tone with a screaming finish on top.

Daniel Deckers is an expert on exhausts and makes fantastic, hand made systems.
Not only was he the chief mechanic for Mazda Motorsports, but he was also employed by Walkers Exhaust, who made the SP exhausts for Mazda.

[philz]

why the hell would you use Copper.

Titanium- light, expensive, sounds good.

Would an aluminium exhaust be too soft? Light though.
