I drove down to NYC this morning and bought & installed Sean's (thatg) HKS Hi-Power Ti Exhaust and let me tell you ... worth every penny! (even though I didn't spend nearly as much as most of you ) With 150 miles logged on the new system I can tell you that it's exactly what I wanted in an exhaust: nice and quiet during partial throttle and absolutely NUTS at wide-open throttle. The car definitely pulls harder than before also. The butt dyno felt a nice gain! Thanks to mygspot also for the assistence on the install!

Now on to the good stuff:

Last but not least. On the way to New York there's an awesome tunnel on the Merrit Parkway that I captured some video for you guys. The first is on the way with my stock exhaust (Just Z-Tube & K&N installed) and the second is on the way home with the HKS on. It's been stated many times before but I'm going to say it again: THE VIDEO DOES NOT DO THE EXHAUST ANY JUSTICE!

Enjoy!

 

Looks and sounds sweet!! Wish I had one....Oh Wait....I DO!!

CONGRATS!

 

Thanks for the post and excellent photos. This is the first G35 install that I have seen. Hot.

 

Nice. Glad you like yours as much as I like mine. It's definitely an awesome exhaust.

 

Very very nice!

Nice to hear a comparison between stock and the HKS, you can clearly hear its distintive note in the 2:nd clip, sounds amazing

Congrats on the exhaust! Looks and sounds great!

 

wow, everyone is getting one of these lately!

 

Congrats on the exhaust, I have heard nothing but good things about it.

 

how loud can this exhaust get when properly broken in? seems to me if its a bit louder than stock correct me if im wrong cuz im in the market for this exhaust and i dont want to be dissapointed in sound.

 

Thanks guys!

This exhaust is fully broken in at this point (I bought it with ~1,000 miles on it already) and as stated before, I love the new exhaust note. Nice and quiet at partial throttle and menacingly mean at WOT. The best way to describe the HKS is an angry Chewbacca screaming as loud as he can.


I'm gonna record a bunch of video clips for you guys tomorrow after work. I plan on doing vids from inside WOT with windows up and down, outside standing revs, WOT fly-bys under a bridge, etc It'll be good and very worth the wait!

Here are new pics with the tips adjusted totally in. I like it much more this way as they stick out just past the bumper. Nice and Slick! The quality of the pics isn't so good because I didn't get out of the office today until late but I'll get some better pics tomorrow along with the video clips.

 

Very nice... i thought about a TopSpeed exhaust but must say this one also produces a nice sound when you open the throttle!

 

I've noticed the same thing. Makes we want to join the bandwagon...but I also like HKS products. I think I'd rather save up for wheels instead of this exhaust though.
