no the best place that i found it was from www.kidimports.com ask to speak with alex and he is a real cool dude. tell him sergio/serge sent you from the scionlife forums or from scion evolution. i talk to him atleast once a week and he has taken care of about 5 fellow tc owners

from those vids im very disappointed...its got a rattlecan sound to it. I was really looking forward to getting the HKS when it came out but I think ill just stick with my TSUDO system i currently have now...its nothing but deep...theres not a bit of rasp in it like that HKS

sorry you feel that way about the vid's, i will tell you what though man, the craftsmanship is hard to beat ive never seen a more quality exhaust produced, i believe the Greddy is on this level too...good luck with whatever you choose!

The vid's don't do it justice, the sound of the HKS is so deep and clear, you'll just have to hear it in person.

well you havent seen the tsudo craftsmanship cause everything is welded nicely and pipe is polished as well as the welds, sorry no video clips or sound bytes, I do not know if they have the exhaust in production but i bought it off of a guy on here, he said it was a prototype that they made and used his car to fab it up. only thing i dont like about it is the canister has the angle cut tip and i perfer the straight tip like HKS and Apexi N1's. HKS gets rid of all resonators right? cause if so then thats the reason for the slight raspyness in the exhaust. I may still consider buying the HKS but it all depends on if i can sell the exhaust i have now. Oh and the TSUDO i have is axleback not catback but if you check the stock piping it is larger than i expected and the fact that they have 2 resonators also helps with the good low toned sound so i might just buy the HKS and install just the rear section. Is there any way to raise up the muffler portion so that it sits a little closer to the bumper instead of hanging down 2" from the bumper?

it took us about a half hour to get the stock exhaust off the hangers, but about 10 minutes to put my HKS on. I love it so much, it doesn't hang below the bumper at all, i love the JDM lean, sounds beautful and looks great. uses 2 stock hangers, plus comes with an extra optional hanger, which took 1 minute to install.
