No, no need to lock up your daughters, Buffy hasn't come to her senses, although she might when see hears this thing.

I picked up a Kakimoto 70mm single exhaust today. I'll install tomorrow and get some pictures and sound samples, but from the looks of it it's not going to be subtle!



PS> Anyone want a full stainless Hitech system. Only driven to church on weekends. Honest!

I do hope that's pronounced Car-Key-Motto and NOT Cacky-Motor

ka (like 'cu' in cup)
ki (like 'cky' in lucky) (the vowel is short)
mo (like 'mo' in moral)
to (like 'to' in 'tonka')

That's the closest I can get with Australian phonemes

It means "source (or basis) of persimmon" which I hope doesn't turn out to be literally true.

I think I might have to shove a couple of persimmons in there to keep out of trouble with the powers that be (and the police).

yes from the little I remember from yr 9 japanese they are
short sounds like:

a - "hut" - some english ppl pronounce it the same way as in "a big fish" not "ay big fish" if that makes sense.

i - as in big

u - oo like in loo

e - eh (air?) can't think of a good example

o - hop

Don't mean to be crude but the only good example I can think of would be to take a big drink of fanta and burp the word out.

Aus, will you be doing this? I'll be very interested to hear what the noise levels are like. Will you be able to get away with driving at lower revs when there's a policeman around or will the silencer be absolutely necessary?
