Here's is another slightly larger image.

I have a 3072x2048 original if someone wants to host it.

My focus is a little soft because i was still getting used to the camera.

It really is a massive exhaust. I have been meaning to post about it and the SC with pics but haven't had much time.

Fortunately, Gabe took the time and wrote up the detailed info.

I do think that the cost is pretty spendy, but I am sure there will be buyers.

D

 

Does HKS have or will they have a set of headers coming out for the 350Z?

 

do you think that the extra 12hp will compensate for the added weight of the four cans.

 

yea....how much does that thing weigh?

 

damn, too bad i already have the fuji ti on order....i like that exhaust though....sweet....good to see them getting more into the us market for the z

 

It's full titanium! How could it weigh more? It could have EIGHT cans and still weigh less than stock!

 

gabe said that the tips were titanium and the rest was stainless.

 

this thing looks bad *** in person!!! and sounds pretty good! Though for the price they are asking, I rather spend a little bit more and stick with my full ti Amuse
a HKS rep did say that you can order a full Ti version of this from Japan for ~3k+ Not sure if this is true or not. He didn't have any other details on it.

btw, the entire exhaust is stainless. The tip are adjustable to extend or shorten with two bolts on the side (Accomodate for different style of rear bumpers). The only Ti piece on this exhaust is the tip.

 

Yanotkaj:
They may do headers in Japan from what I'm told but I was also told that jdm versions from other manufacturers have been reported to hit steering parts on US Z's so it maybe some time before we see an HKS header for US cars. I hope they do, I've seen some of the HKS Racing Headers and they are sweet. They have balance tubes connecting runners, high quality stainless and beautiful craftmanship (typical HKS style).

HK$FairladyZ:
The new HKS Exhaust weights 60 (all peices included). I've seen some others report the the stock exhaust weighs a bit over 70 (you can correct me if I'm wrong) so it sound like it's about 10lbs lighter than stock which is great news.

bwzabodyn: djspeks is correct

whatever: there is no special full TI version of any HKS system currently or in development, maybe the rep you talked to had crack for lunch or something according to my contact.

As far as the G coupe goes the desision to make a version has not been finalized, I think they are waiting to see how the Z version is received. I'm glad you guys like it because maybe that will enable me to buy one later LOL!
see ya.

 

why 4 cans?

 

There aren't 4 mufflers cans, there is one muffler and tip on each bank. Before the mufflers is a tuned cylindrical shaped resonator to reduce noise at a specific RPM range. It hangs off to the side of each muffler as you can see in the pictures. You can't see them when the system is installed on the car unless you duck your head underneath the back of the car.

 

saw this set up at the zcca event at NISSAN national this past weekend ..tips are huge but sound sweet once you punch it mellow at low end ...

 

Gabe35coupe can you give me any information as to when exactly this system will be released. I am desperate for it.

 

This is a Ti exhaust...

Here you go...

damn that's expensive

 

Thats a different exhaust. Not the topic of this thread.

 

I don't care if it is full stainless, I've always wanted HKS exhaust on ANY car , and this system is definately the route I'm going.

 

Bump... whatever happened to this exhaust!!! Im waiting for it!

 

^^ what he said

 

HKS stuff is nice, but overpriced IMO...
