Yes, I was advised by Nito (nitosport) that they are excellent bit of kit, bought one and the power gain was fantastic especially at top end of rev range

I was thinking of getting a Blitz Nur spec but i'll probably keep this one now and just get the cats removed. (Its seems to be quite quiet?)

Thanks,

There are no cats in the Super Drager mid/back, you would only have a cat if you still have the std downpipe on the car. Drager is the noise legal exhaust.

Thanks bob, I haven't had much chance to have a good look underneath yet, and so didn't realise there isn't a mid section cat there.

It still has the std downpipe and cat, I understand I would see an improvement if I change the down pipe?

If the Dragger is the quietish one is it the Hyper Muffler that's the deep throbbing one that rattles windows within a 250 yard radius? Is it an angled exit?
If so it must be the one i heard on a Classic pulling into a filling station the other week.....whatever it was windows everywhere were shaking.

There's no bung in the dragger, its still sounds good but not too loud.

It still sets off my neighbours car alarm off even when his car is in his garage

Loverly deep throbbing burble at low rpm but not over loud. At high rpm sounds absolutely gorgeous but not overly intrusive imho

Cheers

Got a HKS superdragger bought it on here, on the for sale section of BEE, when i 1st had it i loved the sound it made when you put your foot down, now ive added a downpipe ive got my windows down all the time, and i dont think ive had the radio on since ive had it fitted 2 weeks ago, made a big diffrence in the sound and bass even when idling. Dont think my neigbours are best pleased.

Lol

From HKS USA website

The new Drager II series, an evolution of the Original Super Drager, incorporates a new slim-line muffler assembly and utilizes a 120mm Drager tip that allows for an optional silencer insert to be used for additional sound dampening.

It is loud but not as loud as the Blitz. I wanted louder than my old Prodrive Exhaust and quieter than the Blitz or Firestorm. HKS is just the right balance.

Well, I have a full Super Drager system with decat downpipe etc and its not loud at all. Absolutely no flat four burble possibly due to equal length headers but unfortunately the whole lot was put on by the previous owner. However it is definately a full decat and definately a full system but as i say, it is not loud. not compared to what i had before, some weird jap drainpipe that shook the ground.
