Kamimoto Racing Titanium Exhaust

Anyone heard of Kakimoto exhaust? Seems popular with the Supra and Subie crowd. They have a new all titanium catback (looks like an A'PEXi GT-spec or N1 single) that weighs only 3.2Kg. That's 7lbs!!! Our local shop sez it's about CAD$1400. That works out to USD$859. Way cheaper than the HKS and GReddy offerings.

Hmmmm....

BTW, here's their site: http://www.kakimotoracing.co.jp/

I have ... I was about to say you have the name wrong (in your subject you said "Kamimoto"). I don't know about Canada, but in the US they'd be very illegal. They do make incredible exhausts, though. If that price is attractive to you, jump on it.

Read it again. It's for a titanium catback. If you can get a GReddy Titanium for $575 I'll buy 2! Just ask AARotary how much his Ti Catback cost.

You want something different Kakimoto is really really good ish. Most of the Skyline tuners use Kakimoto.

I have seen three in the US and they are bad ***. Signal has a Kakimoto 4" stainless dp back exhaust for a Skyline just chillin at the shop. All I can say is DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fujitsubo is also another bad *** exhaust.

I have the HKS Ti and that is CHEAP for a Ti exhaust.

I carry KAKIMOTO by the way and the JIC full turbo back systems as well.

The KAKIMOTO catback is only like 10lbs or something. I just spoke to my rep yesterday. Pretty ironic that you guys just posted this, I was about to ask the same **** of you guys. How's the product? Need not ask anymore, I get the same responses on both KAKI and JIC Bullet.

See ya, Rishie

Really working on my JDM importships right now. Wuppy!!!

I could probably get you this catback system, the GT 1.OZ lightweight edition, this is the Stainless Steel one though, for around $600.00 to $700.00 or so. Got to get exact pricing with shipping still. I know I can get the Titanium ones too.

If you're really interested in this JDM stuff let me know and I'll see what I can do. I'm expecting to get containers every month. Coming from all directions. hehe.

I'm running the JIC Bullet systems on my GTX's, FC's.
By the way, the turbo back FD JIC titanium system was like 15-20lbs total. I took pics and held it myself.

Hey Rishie, aren't u just getting this from Morris (I think I'm sourcing the Buddy Clubs from him too)? I think they have the North American distribution rights. Anyhoo, they have a display rack of a bunch of the catbacks (except for the titanium one) and they look to be of high quality.

Anyone wanna buy a used A'PEXi GT-Spec?

Cool i think this is the one....

As for 1.0 of GT1.0Z 1.0mm pressure pipe.
As for the Z there is no ultimate and the above last (already this). And the worldwide most lightweight muffler is meant.
Lighter ones appearing in other things, we always repaints that record.
Light! Far! More to mechanical!

As for the GT1.0Z the worldwide most light weight which was developed for the special maniac user which aims toward the fact that the highest efficiency of light weight conversion and the car which it is thorough is pulled out super the light weight * super advanced muffler. Research and the test were repeated many times, the further high performance and light weight conversion were actualized. The GT1.0Z which has the new structure where detail of the prejudice which reaches to detail, you are unparalleled in other things is identified the highest peak of main reforming exhaust system of the persimmon is the suitable series.
Because as for the GT1.0Z & it is light weight conversion power strong emphasis, somewhat sacrifice is paid to durability, speaking conversely, being inferior to durability, it means being self-confidence in the extent lightweight characteristic * efficiency which you can have a match. The 1.0mm thick pipe muffler the lightness reason, the use, in addition racing use is not the same standard as main reforming exhaust system of the former persimmon reason, concerning durability. If it compares the 1.0mm thick muffler, assuming, (it is not optimum, if) you use in the same way as " the tire, it decreases, " we want having the viewpoint that is natural. We ' durability or does not do the easy announcement * advertisement which sort, lightness super light weight ' with is said until recently.
It is the muffler in order the machine the チューン does the GT1.0Z to nervousness, to enjoy sport travelling. In comparison with the former muffler even under the conditions, for taking somewhat, concerning durability in order in order for you to regularly use equally to the life of the car long, re-to be able to purchase with all parts as a repair item lined up (exchange every of compound is possible).
In addition, because with the T volt/bolt clamp the pipe is tightened securely in the software with swinging lock on system, also consideration with respect to the structure that has done deformation of the pipe with the tightening like joint system of the former U band can be cancelled, can exchange simply concerning the part which it consumes & breaks. The maniac user can overtake highest running the aggressively with these, maintenance * maintenance can do healthy efficiency with anytime.
As a repair part, for example from the F flange socket part the main pipe, the メインタイコ and stay etc. From substance part of muffler T volt/bolt band for stay and T volt/bolt band for lock key, lock key, metal carbon composite etc. Until the attachment part all constitution parts it is lined up as the repair part.
Because the on that, the abundant expandability compound is arranged, you choosing the マフラーチューン with the various specifications with your own will, it is possible, to build up in your own sufficient special specification, it is possible to enjoy. For example 150 phi メインタイコ, the full straight tubular pipe, the both ends socket intermediate tie コ (you can install the option part) it is prepared with just main pipe cutting processing.

Worldwide most lightweight full titanium muffler
Like the feather the light stay and silencer - until the detail of the punching pipe and the flange et cetera inside all titanium make. It was not unexpectedly and other, the long-awaited complete titanium muffler.
Worldwide most lightweight full titanium muffler 4.44kg (GT1.0Z for BNR32, HCR32, HNR32 )

Worldwide most lightweight full stainless steel muffler
The stay and the silencer - until the punching pipe and the flange inside all stainless steel. It actualizes the lightness which with the stainless steel muffler, does not permit following of other things and stands out.
Worldwide most lightweight full stainless steel muffler 7.36kg (GT1.0Z for BNR32, HCR32, HNR32)




If the finish you adhere to light weight conversion, after all the titanium make muffler. How, weight of genuine 1/3 or less can be actualized.
Cost performance and being superior in beauty after all the stainless steel make. The full stainless steel specification which uses the 1.0mm pressure high-class stainless steel SUS304 59000 Yen - it is superior even in the lightweight characteristic, price is said setting and genuine ratio 1/2 low. In the stainless steel muffler the lightest muffler.


The HYPER series, the Sol'id90 and the HERT SUS90, main reforming muffler of the successive persimmon of Kakimoto ・ R and the HYPER2000 FULLMEGA N1+ et cetera produced the wonderful efficiency, active service of,10 year or more as one of concepts, but as for the GT1.0Z for super lightening, the thin pipe (below the 1.0mm) being to have used, strength falls due to metal fatigue, in the aspect, durability, it cannot have the durable efficiency which is equal to the other series. (* Light thing and durability have become the element which is contrary.

* It conforms to safety standards 1 private inner silencer - by installing.
There are times when efficiency * durability falls (the inner silencer - due to installing.)
* 2 gaskets * private lightweight band (the T volt/bolt clamp) the every time of the removal, the new item please exchange.
Because the part is the consumable, when original efficiency is lost, please exchange rapidly.
