Went to a shop, paid $180 AUD, they forgot to call me and picked up my car after they closed.
Every other shop I asked about a res delete straight up said they didn't know my car and then would immediately hang up
If anyone can help me upload the video cause it's about 88mb, so it's too large to upload here
What I can say about it:
• Standing behind the car, it sounds a bit tinny. This is definitely the worst part about the res delete, but it's not a deal breaker for me
• Everyone I have asked so far has said it is definitely an improvement to stock sounds, and it is a nicer/better suiting sound for the Kizashi (aggresive)
• NO EXHAUST DRONE. Because of this cars gearing ratios and super duper quiet interior, staying at 2k rpm on 100km/h (60mp/h), there is no drone, even without the speakers playing anything
• Very nice rumble and deep tone when starting up, and decelerating. This is one of my favourite parts about this little mod, it makes the car sound sooooo much better, and you can really feel the vibrations, it feels amazing
• Exhaust is slightly louder, not excessive or law-breaking, and inside the cabin, the exhaust can actually be heard pretty well.
• Pops/burbles when revving idle. This is where the tinny part of the sound comes in. The Pops aren't bad, but the quality of the sound isn't the greatest. But for a 4 cylinder, definitely not the worst, however I think (don't know) the material of the pipe they welded is what's causing the tin sound
• (Manual users only
(• Drove past Australian police at around 4.5k rpm as I was accelerating really fast to get to the speed limit, obviously, and they didn't seem to care too much. For some context, Australian police are some of the most annoying POS when it comes to car modifications due to the strict enforcements we have over here. So this is a small tidbit for how loud this mod is: not loud enough to get u pulled over (for now at least)
TLDR
Overall, I would definitely say this is like an 8/10 mod for the kizashi.
PROs
• Improved loudness
• Deeper tone
• Sounds overall better
• Pops and burbles at idle (if your into these things)
• No drone at highway speeds
• Interior sounds AMAZING
CONs
•Tin sound (could just be the shops material they used)
• Trying to find a shop that actually is willing to modify the Kizashi is a bit confronting: expect people to hang up on you
• Pops and burbles at idle (if your not into these things)
• Costed me $180 AUD. Not bad, but it ain't free
