Japspeed exhaust?
 
Not heard of this make but have seen a few nice looking systems for a couple of hundred quid, can anyone recommend this make??

scooby2010 31 August 2010 07:28 PM

i fitted one,well tried,it was shockin!! needed skimmin on the face to fit the turbo....pants.

Brother has one on his STi Version 4. The welds and quality of these exhausts are as good as Blitz or HKS. There cheap to buy but you would be happy with the quality of them.

The one im looking at replaces the second cat through to the back box so will mate to my standard downpipe so hopefully would be ok.

Had a quick flick on youtube, the exhaust seems to have a really deep growl to it and sounds nice

Hi mate,
i've got one on my bugeye and its a loud exhaust, good build quality and good price too, my only gripe is that the downpipe doesn't have a fixing point like the original and knocks against the floor sometimes,but if you just after the back two sections youll be fine:thumb:

KAS35RSTI 31 August 2010 08:02 PM

Fitment issues. Other than that there ok.

Got one on my blobeye.
They are a bit on the loud side, but nicely made and a good fit.

MarkC 01 September 2010 04:44 PM

I have one on my classic type r and its a perfect fit no problems, been on the car with the last 2 years. great sound too

If you comparing Japseed exhausts with other eBay(aka 2fast2cool,toyosports) are technically,quality its same,but price its not same.
I brought no long time ago from its same exhaust(quality is excellent),but fitments its horrible and doesn't fit without modification etc.
If you real want japspeed exhaust buy its same from ebay for less(around 150£ for catback-250£ for full exhaust),but i don't recommend this exhaust for anyone.
And don't buy downpipe with flexi joint!
If you really want exhaust buy exhaust from Cobra,which are manufactured here not in China(or wherever)...

I'm sure it was 2fast2cool that I bought a downpipe off for my old STI a few years ago. The bloody thing was touching part of the frame underneath the car when the bolts to the turbo were tightened up. I returned it for a refund & bought a second hand downpipe that fitted perfect.

scooblee 02 September 2010 11:33 AM

Well i bought this one from 2fast2cool as it is ment to be a japspeed and arrived this morning, the welds look as good as anything i have seen and ive had a few scoobys now, its in for fitting tomorrow and if its ****e it will be going back.
Will be buying the cobra downpipe with sports cat as ive heard a few problems with 2fast2cool downpipes not fitting and rubbing etc.
Will update tomorrow.

This was one of the vids i watched before i bought it, sounds great :thumb:

Please don't use "paper gasket",if it possible use OEM gasket.
If you will use paper gasket after few days(months) you will hear sound like V8...

playtime 02 September 2010 08:21 PM

i bought a de-cat downpipe for my bugeye sti what a nightmare to fit the boltholes etc just don,t line up and i was at this a full day after rasing the rear of the exhaust with a jack and also the front had to be heated i wouldn,t recommend them

Thanks!
I Installed this with a friend, and although i had to wait for exhaust paste to go hard, it was a fairly simple install, although mating it to the current turbo downpipe was marginally harder than i expected, a competent person can overcome this easily, also i had to alter the rear bulkhead behind the bumper slightly as the main backbox will bang on it if left as it is.

It's gone slightly quieter with about 500 miles on it, but still a low growly sound :)

I dont know if they do anything different for the bug eye, but i really cannot complain about the exhaust, and would recommend this product :thumb:

i've fitted one of these before to my old newage I had, my only quibble with the fit was the bracket on the downpipe had to be bent a bit to get it to fit.
Was very happy with the system and there is nothing wrong with having a flexi in the downpipe, welds are all very neat. True 3" as well from turbo back

just bought one for my type R now

johnnybon 02 September 2010 11:02 PM

even bigger bargain nice one :thumb:

scooblee 03 September 2010 07:30 PM

Got this one for £200 cat back, perfect fit and sounds awesome without being too loud.
Really deep rumble on tickover and sounds great at higher revs, quiet on the motorway at normal speeds too so im very impressed, perfect fit aswell.
My last HKS or blitz sounded great but was too loud at any speed especially as i leave for work at 04:30, would recommend one of these to anyone.
