HKS Hi-power / Kakimoto / Greddy Trust exhaust hybrid question

[GTRSOAR]

Hey everyone, when I bought my R32 GTR it had a Greddy Trust downpipe and full Kakimoto 3.5" exhaust. When I took out the resonator the Kakimoto cannon couldnt take it and it sounded like ass. My dream sound is with the HKS Hi-power exhaust so my question:
If I buy JUST the Hi-power cannon and weld it to the pipe where i'd cut off the Kakimoto cannon would it sound like this vid? Its technically going to be a Greddy Trust downpipe through Kakimoto SS piping to the HKS hi-power cannon lol :P Thoughts? Im obsessed with this sound. Id rather for buy the complete HSK system $1800 when I just need the cannon. Thx in advance guys!!

It probably sounds aggressive like that cause the motor has some bigger cams..The muffler won't change the sound much.

[Tony-R32]

can't give you any advice, but that sounds soo good in the video!

here check out this vid: http://www.vimeo.com/4005272

Thats my system, for that video I had a trust MX equal length downpipe, de-cat, 3.5 all the way, with one resonator and the HKS Hi-Power Silent Muffler...

LOVE the HKS exhaust system... its quiet below 3000 rpm, and turns into a full on banshee at 7000

I would say go for it, exhaust systems are no where near as complicated as people seem to think they are, honestly FFS, its just a tube...lol if you run a straight 3.5" pipe with out resonator to an HKS Hi-Power cannon, I think it would sound quite loud.. my system is the Silent, AND it stil has a resonator... so no res, and none silent version you'll be SUPER loud, and depending on your local police, you may end up hating yourself more than your neighbors would hate you lol

[GTRSOAR]

Yes I don't wan loud, insane quieter then what I have now. So I have a 90mm (3.5"?) pipe going to the muffler, I was told the HKS hi-series didn't come in 3.5" but thrats what you have?

[DarkCaporaL]

HKS Hi-Power are 95mm = 3.74in.

When you get the full cat-back they are bolt on directly to the stock cat (2.5"?) but the piping is 95mm.

[archaeic_bloke]

yea exactly ^^^^^ above

[MarusGTR]

segue: What's the cat flange size for a kakimoto hyper fullmax (3.5")? I'm looking to de-cat.

[GTRSOAR]

Yes but I have a 3.5" going into my muffler and thats where i'd cut the pipe3 and put the silent hi-power, so you can get a silent hi-power with 3.75" dia but not 3.5"?

[GTRSOAR]

Because I have 3.5" piping going to my muffler I can just adapt it up to 3.75" dia for the cannon, i have no problem going bigger, i just didnt want to go smaller to cause a restriction. So the silent HKS hi-power it is Now to find one...

[archaeic_bloke]

I think he was saying that the HKS Hi-power is 3.75`` where the Silent version is 3.5? I dunno... anyways mine is 3.5" and it's the silent version...

If I were you, I'd just measure the pipe before the muffler, and then get the measurements on the piece you want to order before ordering it.

[GTRSOAR]

Yes thats what I did, thats how I know i have a 90mm pipe (3.5"). The only thing is te ONLY way to get an HKS cannon at 3.5" is if you buy the WHOLE $1800 kit, and I only need the Cannon because I have full SS Kakimoto piping and Greddy Trust downpipes... Anyone selling JUST the HKS Silent Hi-Power Cannon or know where I can buy one? MUCH thanks if anyone can help me out here.
