Thinking of getting a used hks hi-power exhaust; around 15 k miles, couple scrapes and dings here and there for 650 without the bolts and gaskets. However, the user says the y-pipe is pretty scraped up from speed bumps.

1)What exactly does the y-pipe do for the sound of this exhaust? Im asking because if I were to change the y-pipe of the hks to say a tanabe y-pipe, how will it affect the exhaust? Deeper sound? Will it change the sound of the hks?

2) how much would a tanabe y-pipe cost?

Noob question, thanks for answering.

 

Isn't the HKS Hi-Power a true dual?

here is the link. also, spork, not to be rude, but what does true dual have to do with y-pipe.

 

Question is... what does a y-pipe have to do with a true dual exhaust?

a y-pipe is just that, a Y. Goes from two inlets to one outlet.




Hopefully someone with more experience with this can help you, but I think you'd just have to spring for a new HKS pipe, if not fabricate one.

 

Believe that the hks hi-power exhaust has 2 mufflers. May be difficult to connect to a y-pipe.

 

LOL!

 

look at a picture of your exhaust and point at the Y pipe....EXACTLY!!
