I said Toda previously, very good system. So worth another mention
To be honest, after fitting your Toda system, if I were to change mine, that's what I'd go for. Mostly because of the quality if it, but also because it was as easy to fit as an oem system. Fit like a glove from front to back, even down to the brilliance of the fitting into the bumper cut out.Chris. said:I recently changed the exhaust on my FD2. Same map, same dyno, different exhaust and different day. ~20 bhp increase and a shed load of mid range. I can barely notice it on the road however I suspect I will on tracks like Spa as I could feel it struggling in high rpm last year.
Midnight's DC5 on the same dyno, with a Solid Fab's 3" system and DC (I think?) manifold made 239.
All I have on my FD is a Mugen intake, Toda decat and exhaust. The manifold is standard.
I highly doubt I'd gain 5-10 bhp if I were to get a Solid Fab's exhaust on there.

EFI are probably one of the better mappers in the UK, even they were astonished how much more power could be achieved going from the Kakimoto to a 3" exhaust.Chrismartin said:Whilst I agree the Kaki is a restrictive system compared to what's out there, what I would say having had one on my reg for 2 years is that I never felt any lack of poke, uneagerness and general lack of power. I wouldn't be put off by another that's for sure as the noise was addictive, But I'm not someone who will chase every bhp as I feel the rigmarole is too expensive for the actually real world noticable gain.
Problem with Dynos aswell is that they're only an indication as the variables are changing all the time. I wouldn't pay too much thought myself into dyno results from different sessions on different days.
Sam hit the nail on the head by saying it's about striking a balance. I must have had one of the most restrictive Jasma exhausts on mine (Regu) and as mentioned in the real world never felt lacking in any way.
Yeah agreed about forums. Also agree Kaki is restrictive. Especially at 2.38 diameter. Can't compare to a 3 inch as I never had one but i can say confidently on the road it never ever felt lacking in anywayMidnight said:EFI are probably one of the better mappers in the UK, even they were astonished how much more power could be achieved going from the Kakimoto to a 3" exhaust.
Fueling alone (AFR) shown us how restrictive the Kakimoto is!
While initially the Kakimoto doesn't feel restrictive the higher up the rpm the difference is day and night. Isn't vtec about higher rpm?
I should add, that the 3" also gave us better low down power which was a surprise to me. I knew it would be better higher rpm I was expecting 5-8bhp but the fueling was hugely different all through the rpm. More could be added.
Also the map had additional gains over the original map that came with the ECU which had the RM01A fitted. (Few other variables so take with a bit of salt).
Problem is with forums, someone's opinion can be taken as fact. Fact is Kakimoto is restrictive, bhp will best be achieved with a 3". Fact is the Kakimoto is a lot lighter so as you say it's about balance, but if given the chance I would personally have another Kakimoto for the sound alone.
Epic sounding exhaust only thing that would beat it sound wise would be a whine of a supercharger!
