im gonna have to jump on the pointless bandwagon on this one.

could it be that you feel and hear that HKS is the best?? people say it cost more so you wanna be a baller with a high price exhaust??? do what you want its youre car!

pick up the current issue of DSPORT. it has a integ in the front cover.

inside they covered a 05 revup g35 with 3 mods page 88

1. Stillen Z-tube intake - gained 3.55hp
2. HKS HI-POWER EXHAUST - gained 6.32hp
3. Stillen ground wires - gained 1.77hp

total cost: $1975.00 - $2075.00

so is your money worth the +700.00$ (est. used price?) for a measly 6.32hp?

LOVE MY HKS! Combined with the Berk HFC and Stillen Gen 3 CAI and JWT Flywheel, the butt dyno got a rash. The sound is exotic at WOT!

HKS w/o tp or hfc is a little on the quiet side unless that's what you want. It's also pretty heavy. The titanium tips is the only part that attracts me to it.

Ultimate in looks? hardly.

The Amuse exhaust is one of the nicest looking out there.
