Deciding either to get an Nismo exhaust or HKS Hi Power Catback Exhaust.

I know how the nismo exhuast sounds like but is there anyone here that has the HKS Hi Power Catback Exhaust? I really want to hear it in person. I am located in Alhambra (91801) my cell is 626-780-2507. Name is Steve btw. It would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

Sound clips from youtube.

thx for the clips but ive heard enough of them; just want to hear irl

 

hahah i knew you would post something like this!! Like i said.. Nismo = stock on steroids... HKS = deep loud exhaust. Both are great!!

 

I've had both. Can't go wrong with Nismo sound. HKS sounds like POS IMO but will give you better looks and power gains.

 

where in cali do you live.

i love my nismo exhaust but sometimes i wish it was louder but still glad i got nismo.

get the hks and if you dont like it maybe we can trade. but i want to hear hks one more time in person also.

 

Add HFC..problem solved.

 

I'm currently running the Greddy TT exhaust. Let me know if you wanna hear them. I'v actually had the HKS's already and hi tone, but aggressive, but I like the deeper sound from a Greddy.

Bump for Nismo, stock looking but sounds much more agressive than stock.

 

I have the nismo. With HFC its perfect. Loud but not too loud. And I am thinking about selling mine. Maybe.

 

IMHO...

nismo - don't think it's worth the money. looks too much like stock, gains are horrible, and just a little louder than stock.

HKS - a lot of people like the looks of it, i personally don't. i think it looks a little too ricer for me. this exhaust is too flashy, therefore resulting in getting hassled by the cops. the gains are decent, from what i've heard. the sound is too deep for my taste.

not sure if you are completely sold on either one of these exhausts, but incase you're not...

i have a stillen exhaust. love everything about it. the look is great (not too flashy, but noticeably different from stock). the sound is perfect for my taste (not too loud, but when you step on it...it screams). and the gains were definitely noticeable.

i live in alhambra as well, if you want to take a listen to the stillen....let me know.

 

What do you wanna replace it with?

 

Don't bother spending your hard-earned (assumed) money on an aftermarket 'exhaust system'.

Just go to a reputeable muffler shop, have them make some custom made piping and then buy two seperate mufflers from magnaflow for a much cheaper price.

HKS exhausts are way too expensive for what they really are- pipes.

One of the stupidest decisions I ever made was paying $1,100 for a Greddy Evo II that did virtually nothing for my car in regards to performance.

Exhaust 'systems' in general are HUGE rip-offs.

 

I am not to sure. I really want to save up for the amuse titan exhaust.

 

i would love to hear the nismo also, and maybe even get a quick ride... i work in redondo beach and live in huntington beach... so if anyone is willing please reply or PM... thanks!

 

bump... anyone with the nismo or HKS Ti exhaust that i can listen to in the LAX to huntington beach area??? thanks in advance..

EDIT: I've heard them all on youtube, but now need to hear in person, before i pull the trigger..

 

mi 2cents,

I've heard the two and the Nismo was perfect for me because it was just a bit louder than stock under 3k rpms and rocked above 3k rpms without attracting every cop withing a 2 mile radius!

 

yeah thats why i want it, but then some people say its just alittle bit louder than stock and so its not worth it...

 

I have the HKS and I love the looks and the gains of the exhaust. It is a true dual system and also has extra resonators on top of the muffler to reduce rasp and give you a deeper tone. It's not that loud and I have not been hassled by cops once for exhaust. However, I am scared now, because I am running test pipes, and it is hella loud at WOT!

IMO the perfect combo is HKS Dual (Ti) Hi Power exhaust with Iso thermal plenum spacer. It gave it a deeper tone, and the gains with those two products were awesome!

 

i would like to hear the xo2 exhaust too. someone PM me lets meet i want to hear them exhausts!

 

im coming too... unless i pull the trigger and just get the nismo this fri
