Default HKS True Dual Review

Well just telling you a review of the HKS True Dual Hi-Power Exhaust, the installation was so easy it was harder taken out the stock one. After turning on the car you can hear it a little depper revv. When you rev uo to 1-3k RPMS it sounds a bit deeper than stock, once you pass 3K RPM its a whole differenct car. You can really feel the gains and it sounds like a FREAKIN ferrari haha, if you got the $$ go for it!!!

Damn! I hate you guys... That's my favorite exhaust, but I can't afford it. I'm settling for some cheap one..

Yeah, Z's don't ever sound anything like a Ferrari.. Exotics just have that special exotic tone to their exhausts, which can't be duplicated on everyday cars.

the ferrai sound ISNT cause of the exhaust. Have you seen aftermarket ferrari or lambo exhausts? The best ones have chambers that open up depending on ur RPM..i mean like cmon. lol.
The ferrari sound is cuz its got more bore than stroke, and it revs high. Last time i checked, it the Z has a lot more stroke than bore. Its not a square engine.

Just installed it today in my 04. Super easy. Took less than 2 hours with help from a friend and no lift, just jack stands.

If you install it just make sure the right side doesn't rattle. I didn't check before we put the car down and it's rattling. I'll fix it tomorrow, not sure what it is.

The sound? It sounds stock at idle, which is what I want. Driving it around it's essentially similar to stock except deeper. WOT it's completely different though

A++ would buy again

Just because it's not rare anymore, it doesn't mean it won't be the same great exhaust. I'd keep the HKS if I were you.. If you want exclusivity, change something else.
