Ground clearance is great same as original. The crafts man ship is absolutely unbelievable

[MaskedAP1]

looks good:thumbsup:
is the pipe 2.25inch or 2.5?

[EKVTIR-T]

Nice!Looks blingtastic but the overall design is very close to the original.
Does it have proven gains?Strange they kept a close to stock piping diameter as k20's seem to like large piping for more power...

[MaskedAP1]

it should free up some power as K seris motor is very responsable to I/H/E mod

[Mattski_VTIR]

Congrats, hope your glad with the new purchase. I'm looking at the same catback only with the headers for my s... any chance of a sound clip? Anyhow enjoy!

[Zilli]

very nice man

love that tip

I WANT A REVIEW!!!!!

[Waggy]

That is hawt mate!!

[90LAN]

thats very sexy
nice choice mate how does it sound???

[maracer]

Thanks guys, the pipe is 60mm inner diameter all the way, with extra 5kw @ the wheels?
The sound is great, it’s very subtle. Just need to do more dyno bum runs lol :p

[air23box]

great work bro......ur exhaust looks awesome.....

[m3ntAL_l2]

did u do it urself?!?!!?

[JDM_RoCkz#3]

nice bro... how is it..?:D

[Professional]

Very nice. Time to Toda Header now.

[maracer]

Yes I'll do a review on it in a weeks time, just to let everything settle in. The sound has also changed ever so slightly form day 1 to day 2!

[ON XTC]

looks awesome mate. cant wait for the review. im sure itll be a good one.

[RyDC5S]

Maracer: Looks good. Pop in some dyno results if you can.

[Bob san]

nice exhuast man, how much did it cost you?

did u notice any improvement in the upper range torque band?

[pung_dc2]

yeh how much did this cost you? i plan on getting the extractors and full exhaust sometime mid next year so it'll give me a rough idea

[mugen88]

Nice and clean DIY.

Toda quality awsum, get the dyno done. :thumbsup:

[seventwozero]

aw thats hot i want one!!
tell us how it goes later !

[maracer]

Yes I’m hoping to get it on the dyno next week sometime. The only problem is that I don’t know what the standard DC5S power ATW is?:eek:
I hope to learn more as I continue to modify my ride:p Toda cat back not cheap.

[Ray_mon]

its damn clean, haha, i might consider that catback now

Thanks dude, looking forward to the results - your Type S rocks.

[Tofu]

very nice choice of exhuast...
from the pictures, the quality of this exhuast seems flawless..

why is the b-pipe in two parts?

[Max Power]

Nice, i have one myself. The sound these things make is beautiful, yet still quiet which is what i love

The b pipe is in 2 parts so its cheaper for them to ship

[maracer]

Ok guys,
Finally got around to give this Toda cat back a review.
Please note this is based on my own experience and my car, people may have different opinion that’s fine.
Never seeing the muffler in the flesh, just by pics here and there, it looked the goods to me.
There are also the claims that’s it’s supposed to free up some more power. Some say 5kw ATW?
My goal also was to fit it myself. DC5 owners we are lucky because from cat bat it’s pretty simple to do.
As you can see the product itself is second to none, no corner cutting here, it’s all most too good to but under neath the car.
I didn’t no what to expect in terms of sound. Initially it was quiet, give it a few revs, I’d just expected it to be louder.
So after taking for a bit of a spin the car sounded great, a little deeper just right not going to attract to much attention, I was very happy with the choice I made. Can’t say that I felt any real power difference.
So I took my brother for a spin in it his response was “WOW it seems to run and sound a lot smoother, no shortage of power right up to 8,000rpm”.
Next step was to put it on the dyno. Not a bad idea until I realized that I should of put the car on the dyno before doing anything to it so I know where I started in the first place.
I put the standard air box back in before the dyno, so at least it should give me some sort of an idea or maybe or maybe not!
With such short notice I managed to get a few power runs down at Pro-Tek. They were kind enough to let me change over to my Apexi SRI while it was still on the dyno and do a few more runs.

Conclusion; I was going to get new wheels next year, but I think I’m going to get the Toda headers in search of more power.


P.S. if anybody has done DC5S on a dyno with no mods, be good to see what the base power is.

[Bob san]

400+ newton metres of torque? is it just me or is that just a little too high?

[maracer]

When it’s on the dyno it shows more, like about doubled:eek:

[Hullabaloo]

after having it for a while. how much louder do you think the system is compared to the stock one? at low rpm and at high rpm?

[maracer]

At low rpm a little louder. while backing off the accelerator with some small popping sound:thumbsup:
At high rpm it is louder but I don't think it will attract the boys in blue:wave:

[Hullabaloo]

Did you consider the Fujitsubo Powergetter as an option? if so, what made you choose the Toda one?

Yeah that or Buddyclub, then I just wanted something different

This is a quote i got from Club RSX for a stock DC5 Type S WHP. I have added the link below if you want to view the entire thread.

Q5: You said the Dynojet is the most common. What are typical numbers from that?
A6: SAE corrected results on an 02-04 type-S with the engine broken in (i.e. at least 5k miles) should be in the 170-175whp range. 05-06 models will do slightly better than that (175-180whp).


To Maracer, if this base power figure is accurate please let us know how much power you gained from your exhaust.

I hope this helps you out.

Thanks,
going by those figures i'm in deep shit because:eek:
118kw ATW = 158hp ATW:confused:

Not really... You're actually on the money for eddie current type dynos for power output.
The Dynojet is an inertia type dyno & reads higher (closer to flywheel) power.
To keep things on a level playing feild, you aught not compare power figure with different dyno types.
Dyno Dynamics, Mainline & Pressision are more common in Australia & are eddie current type dynos.
FWIW, my Type S put out 112kw on our dyno dynamics when it was stock & new. A 2kw difference as a base-line is quite normal.
Given the chance of different tyre pressures, tyres, wheels, atmospheric conditions etc etc...
Also, nice reveiw... Good to see you like the exhaust...
Cheers

Thanks for that great information TODA AU:thumbsup:
I love the product and sometime in the middle of this year I’ll be getting the Toda headers to complete the system:p
