Default Had my custom HKS CF/Titanium exhaust installed today!!

Well after getting my exhaust in Monday I was super excited to get it installed and immediately had an appointment set up for today.
Anyways after about 2 hours or so my HKS with 3" piping and polished stainless steel Magnaflow cat was completely installed and welded perfectly in place.
First impressions are that I love the sound and it is a lot more cleaner and deeper than my Tanabe exhaust, its still breaking in and sounds better every time I start the car. Im gonna be intsalling my cats this weekend so we'll see if theres even more peformance, and yes the car feels much faster and 2 of my friends also felt it? who knows
Heres some pics and a video clip as usual thanks to my good friend CMT of Dtmpower.net
Please excuse the dirtiness

Looks like another Supra fartcan to me.

Honestly, looks good if you were a MKIV cranking 500+ rwhp.

That thing though... doesn't look like you're packing enough heat to justify something that big.

... When are you ordering the Supra Style wing?

Nice color ride though.

I think it looks good but I like duals better. I guess you're gonna be staying away from speed bumps now.

....WOW, people calling an HKS carbon fiber/Titanium exhaust "Too Fast Too Furious/rice/fart can". I've gotta say that's a first, although I have heard people here call INGS and Veilside kits "rice". Sometimes I wonder about some of the people on this forum, but then I realize that just like "rice" is a trend, people calling stuff "rice" is also a trend. They just hear other people use it, and so everything is "rice".
On another note, I think that's a sweet settup...nothing "generic" about it like most of the stuff on these boards.

Basically I think anythign non-stock is considered rice on this forum. Although, you can get away with the following:
CAI
Volk Wheels
Subwoofer
Internal Engine mods
FI

Anything else everyone calls rice.
Personally, Unles you fill the other side of the bumper, I woulda stuck with duals. I think if you clean up the bumper, it wil look awesome.

Yup I have plans for something be it a JDM bumper of some sort or a Greddyrear add on or even have it filled and sprayed a la Skidazzle.

Thats not entirely true, the Version 1 is very clean and not over the top and the Ings Half kit is wicked nice in its simplistic way.
