i installed my hks and i am stuck between folding bumper or not. i agree, the pipes are real nice but i don't like how you can see all underneath the car (kinda too busy in my opinion).

looks good phantom! still waiting for mine to arrive. probably will get here tomorrow. i did however go on a small spending spree and bought a oem nismo spoiler, and CF battery and brake fluid covers. i think i may need to chill out for a while, especially after the custom leather seats.........wow just mentally added that up, and uh yes, i do need to chill out!

As for the Nismo kit. It looks pretty cool. A member here had a DBZ with the Nismo fin/splash guard things with the HKS and folded the rear. Looks good. Here you go:

do it man... its really easy and it looks cool. i did it when i built my single exhaust. i actually used the stock tabs and just moved them up. there are two holes up a bit higher on the bumber support that i stuck the tabs into. then i put self tappers in the middle.

ok got the HKS installed today. not quite as loud as i thought it would be. maybe it will get louder as it "breaks in". i am going to attempt to post some pics.........bear with me.

For me, this is a good thing. I wouldn't want it to get any louder. I'm assuming HFC would make it louder. I may go that route one day.
One thing I have noticed though, and anyone please feel free to call me out on this if it's just in my head, is my MPG. My MPG (overall average) has gone up from around 16.8 to about 20.9 (mixed driving, but mostly city).

i am guessing that is correct regarding MPG. i also have a 5th gen prelude, and when i installed a greddy evo2 cat-back i gained an average of 50 extra miles per tank. just an extra lil perk! so i guess, technically the hks could pay for itself over time with gas savings----yeah that is how i will justify it---it isnt a performance mod---just a mpg booster--yeah thats it.
