Whazza22 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Has anyone ever bought some baffles/silencers for the Japspeed k1 exhaust from ebay? If so, do you know which ones are decent and fit well? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I found that the best baffles for the JapSpeed K1 involve mechanical and permanent exhaust modification. First jack the car up so you gain access to underneath the Zed. Once secured, remove the endcan sections. Then move on to the mid section and detach from the y-pipe. Now comes the important bit. With the midsection and endcans removed, you can now set about fitting any exhaust you like, Scorpion, Cobra, Milltek, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffyjason Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 i bought a crapspeed k2, wish i hadnt, but you live and learn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 TBH, I know where you are both coming from. Had a K1 before to replace a blown OEM, when that novelty wore off (plus me feeling bad returning from nightshifts at 4am) I got a K2, which is still on the car until I can afford something decent. To the OP, have you tried going to an exhaust fabricator like Longlife or such? Pretty sure they could possibly have some off the shelf or even make you a pair. Or measure the inside diameter of the exhaust tips and seach for baffles accommodating the size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 have you got just got the K2 rear? anything else changed in the zorst? Yeah, just K2, y-pipe back, nothing else apart from a popcharger up front, and an UpRev tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 ah just wondered, as i have the stillen Y pipe and berk HFC's, at around 1600-2000 rpm there is a resonance frequency which is deafening, makes your eyes go blurry if you stay in that range! looking for some sort of muffler in the chain to help out, other wise it makes an awesome sound, i reallly love the crackling and popping on the overrun!

BulletMagnet Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 You have two quality components and one not so quality, perhaps you need to seek out a replacement for after the Y-Pipe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John tarantula Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 For the original poster I've got a K1 with baffles on mine (and sounds nice!) so if you want any measurements or pics of the baffles let me know. Read lots of horrible stories about K1 etc but after fitting one I actually think they sound pretty good with the baffles! without they were too loud but nice with - pretty normal on tickover and nice and aggressive over 3500rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 the quality of the japspeed isnt great i think, the back box rusted pretty quickly, the berk cats and stillen y pipe are still shiny and new looking, but you live and learn! definitely don't need anything louder though, suggestions for the K2 replacement?
