The monster is coming off this weekend...
Well, if all goes well, the Kakimoto will be off this weekend if anyone wants to take a look...
Waiting for my header to arrive...once that is here, new header/up-pipe/TBE going on...ready for the tune...

I do still have it...in fact, it is on the car right now.
I will most likely remove it once my brother sends out my new TBE system to me (another rare piece, but much more quiet)...At that time, I'll either sell the Kakimoto or it will be an amazing conversational piece mounted on the wall of my garage...
pm me if you are interested in taking a look...
unlike the other Titanium catbacks...this one is a full 80mm all the way...the Kakimoto DP is also a full 80mm...(80mm = 3.15")...
If you go back a few years to where they had an exhaust shootout, you will see that with all things equal, the Kakimoto produced the highest horsepower and torque of all exhausts tested...
The JIC and Helix titanium catbacks, btw, have a 2.5" bottleneck near the mid-pipe/down-pipe connection...

My JIC Spartan DE Type 2 full titanium is full 80mm all the way. I think they had an option to have the 2.5 inch reducer midpipe though. I've seen a lote of both varieties.
Do you have any more pictures of this? And is the downpipe a bellmouth or divorced?

The downpipe is not a true belmouth or divorced...
I really need to take pictures soon...
The downpipe is a full 80mm all the way down...but is not of the bell mouth variety...more like the HKS design...
I also looked closely after I took the exhaust off and it does neckdown a bit...not to 2.75" though...more like closer to 3"...
I'll take the pipes down from the garage once I get a chance and take some pics...
