Here's the before pic:

And the after pic!:

If you notice the bumper looks a bit shorter than the before pic. I did a bumper tuck so I could show off more of the exhaust cause it looks so damn sexy.

wow, 160 for an exhaust installation?? What a rip off. But looks sick. How do you like the sound? If you want it a bit louder install hfc or test pipe, with test pipes it sounds perfect.

Yea, that seems a bit steep if it's just the catback. Does look tight though.

Looks good. You can clean it up a bit by drilling a hole in the top of the tips and securing them with a rivet, then remove the bolts that hold the tips on. Maybe it's me, but I just hated those big @$$ bolts. See pic.

Haven't put it on a dyno and probably won't till I get test pipes and a retune but I've heard it gives +12hp.

+1 on some TP recommendations for the HKS. Installed my HKS last weekend and on the fence between Berk TP's or HFC's. Not to thread jack and I know there's a ton of threads on the subject but maybe some with either/or could give their opinion since youtube vids don't give a good representation of the sound. Looking for some more volume/performance with as little rasp as possible.

I was looking at Motorydyne's ART pipes. They have resonators on them but I don't know how well they pair with HKS.
