Default looking for some good advice, help please :D

i am a proud owner of a 09 tc, as of now i have a TRD cold air intake, and a custom magnaflow exhaust, love it,doesnt sound like a ____ty ricer, etc, but lately i've had alot of interest in the " hks hi power exhaust ", i'd like to know from others and owners of this exhaust of how they like or dont like it, and where can i get it for a good price, i live in vegas.


i would also like your opinions on other exhaust as well, thank you

and if anyone knows any good aftermarket shops in vegas as well

yup, i love mine. its nothing too crazy and has a good tone. of course the peeps who have HKS will vote for HKS, and the other way around. I think you need to hear it for youself before you make your decision.

I Agree. I had a Magnaflow on my 2nd Gen. Eclipse, but I've heard both on the tC, and I think the Magnaflow is the best Sounding. Not too Raspy, not as Deep as something like a Borla.

Well for one, just pick whatever sounds best for you. If you like the magnaflow, keep it. Theres no sense spending more money on an exhaust just for a different tone. Exhaust doesnt do crap for our cars, so a different exhaust wont give you anything but a different sound.

You can use that money you would spend on the hks and get some springs or HIDs or the like.

Depends on how much of a drop you want. And dont go for cheap springs, get quality ones.

yeah, but also another thing i forgot to mention, i cant drop it because of my custom exhaust, the piping makes a " U " towards to ground, so if i lower it, ill be hitting bumps and all that crap for a fact, which is pretty irritating, which was also why i was looking for another exhaust

No pain, no gain.

That's how my old exhaust was. I scraped on every speed bump, but actually diverted a lot of them except for the inevitable ones in my apartment complex.

Maybe don't go so low? Pick up some TRD springs. You don't want to cheap out with your suspension.
