Dazzi Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Has it got and silencer box's on it that you can see or does it look like straight through piping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 take a pic of the underside of your car and we will happily tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 IIRC the kakimoto was available as just a back box replacement and as a full cat back. It's a nice sounding exhuast. As already mentioned, a pic of the underside will confirm what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 My car was an N/A but had the TT transplanted into it a few months back - my question is: Is my kakimoto exhaust from my n/a a cat back system? I ask im going BPU soon and need to understand what i currently have I *think* Kakimoto only ever made cat back exhausts for the Supra. Should be easy to tell if you look under the car, the stock exhaust splits in the middle, the Kakimoto exhausts are a single pipe.

rick001 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Brilliant nic, thats my exhaust all right - so i take it that it IS a cat back then? Actually, it does have a number on a spot welded plate which i will get later and post up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Brilliant nic, thats my exhaust all right - so i take it that it IS a cat back then? The Supra exhaust consists of the 1st catalytic convertor (nearest engine), 2nd catalytic convertor, mid pipe and rear back box. The term 'cat back', just describes everything from the catalytic convertor backwards ie. mid pipe and rear back box. The pictures I posted all show cat back exhausts.

rick001 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thanks nic - on a separate note, when i had a look at the rear of the exhaust i found what looked like wire wool coming out - is this the baffle material and means its dying?? Thanks for your help nic rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the wire wool will be from the silencer box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick001 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yes the wire wool will be from the silencer box. Is this normal during its life nic or should i be looking to replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It's not normal, the baffles that hold the stuffing in have broken or corroded away. Time to ask Nic for a new exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
