if you like it, more power to you.

I don't think it sounds bad -> ie injen SES. I was just expecting something truelly unique and exotic. All I got was a toned down stock exhaust note that sounded muffled and weak

 

ai ai, with the hks you do loose the 350z stock sound but i must say i think its louder than stock, so what other mods did he have on his car? i heard the injen ses before i even got my car and i must agree that its not the best sounding exhaust

 

he ran it with test pipes

 

The HKS to me sounds good at idle and driving around town, had plenty of time to hear it because i would pace my friend at his rear bumper all the time. The exhaust IMO gave a sort of Porsche-ish exhaust note which i thought was hawt. Once he would really floor it though that note would go to crap and sound weird w/a rapsy note (sounds very unique but not prety)...something i dont like. I like more smoother sounding exhausts Also i would expect at least a damn sticker with the HKS exhaust after spending $1300 but i've never heard of anyone receving any as it is the HKS exhaust has nothing on it to say its HKS . On the other hand i saw some Injen clips...not of the new Ti version and it sounded like complete a$$, never heard the new version of it though.

Disclaimer: not talking smack about anyone's exhaust just giving my opinnion.

 

HKS sounds much better with straight pipes. The injen sounds 20X better with a n X pipe and straight pipes. the FI exhaust is quiet because of the X pipe and many mufflers.
My choice is still Injen w/ straight pipes and X pipe. But at the going rate, you might as well have a custome xhaust made with 2 borla mufflers, 2 ebay resonators, custom X pipe and itll probably come out cheaper.

 

Thanks for all opinions

An order for New Injen 1986TT has been placed
i found that 500$ could be through in some where else Than same exhaust speci with different name ( HKS )


hint:-
Injen exhuast + DC headers ceramic = almost 1500 $

 

i have HKS, got it for 1250 shipped brand new. Looks awesome, sounds awesome, no problems since day one.

 

I liked the power and sound out of my Injen, and while the welds look good - they're pretty sub-par. I've had to have mine rewelded in several occasions in many places after less than two years of service. In fact, some of the other welds are starting to deteriote, so I think it's time for a new system...

 

i got mine used and and i dont even know how old it is. and till this day the only thing thay my exhausted has needed was new gaskets just for the reason that the ones that came with it were burnt to dust lol

 

haha; I definitely agree with you. I see all these videos of cars parked; revving up the exhaust; and almost all of them sounding terrible. (even ones that sound great on the road, like HKS) I have a suspicion that many of these cars are not warmed up before this revving activity, which not only makes it sound a lot different than even a parked car in the right operating temp range, but is also bad for the motor. I think the HKS is worth the difference because there is really no audible drone from inside the cabin. That to me is worth the extra 500. I'll probably go w/ the 5zigen xtube s-spec though (I have a g35 coupe btw) cause I really like everything about that exhaust, including the single exhaust tip.
