Default Crap, HKS on backorder.

My HKS hi-power is on backorder, I thought I was going to get lucky but I guess not. (dont know what I would have thought that given my history...)

Anyways, my question is....what would you get as your next exhuast. Keep in mind that I also have Crawford hi-flow cats coming soon.

Stillen SS
Topspeed pro-1
Invidia G200

Or some other in those price ranges that I have listed. HELP

I know that this is almost a rhetorical question, and I know that there are a million threads about exhausts (I know Ive read them all)

I need an exhuast that makes quite a good amount of power and sounds killer. I will trade sound for performance, because I wouldnt want a high power exhuast to sound like a mad bumblebeee (which I am afraid the stillen will with my crawfords....) The amuse is out, its just too freakin expensive so dont mention it.

thanks ahead of time.

No problem. I hope it works out for you. Might want to give them a call just to be 100% that it really is in stock.

How about the Tanabe Super Medallion Racing exhaust? It's loud & has a deep tone grunt, probably not as loud as the Pro-1 or RSR GT Max II, and definitely not too bad cost wise. I-M racing is having a special with free shipping on the exhaust here. $719

I think I am just going to wait for the HKS to come in.

My half-assed exhaust will just have to stay on for a while.

It will probably make me appreicate it that much more.
Ive also got crawford Hi-flow cats coming in the mail....I cant wait to hear it. Like I said in my other thread, I have a ton of high-end ADAT recording equipment sitting around. Ill record my exhuast with about 4-5 different frequency mics for everybody. People with 56k probably wont be able to download it since to keep the soundquality, Im going to leave it pretty much raw. Might wind up being a 50+ megabite file.

Ordered and paid for "my" HKS almost 3 months ago now... Still waiting... Ive heard "soon", "shortly" and "any time now" 100 times...

Atleast i got it for a good price with 50% off on the shipping to Europe due to the delay.

For an NA car, my choice was the Invidia G200, which you were considering. I put an "H" Pipe on mine, and am very pleased with it. Sounds great with no drone or rasp. My exhaust system is Crawford headers and Cats with the Invidia. IMO, I made the right choice.

Would the HKS Hi-power exhaust work with the Turbonetics kit?
