Ok....ive done some research and listened to all the sound clips that i could....i've narrowed my search to just the trd and the HKS Hi power exhaust....i know a guy that has the HKS and it sounds mean.....problem with me is that he has a full exhaust set up.....i tend to only change the axle- back...i do have an injen cai....my question is how much different in sound is there between just having the axle-back and a full exhaust HKS hi power....anybody else have a set up similar to this or who can give me some suggestions....sound is the main goal here....deep tone with no rasp....im leaning toward HKS just incase i did want to add a header later or something like that....any input is appreciated

 

i have the HKS hi-power and Injen CAI and it sounds purrfect. Nice growl, no rasp and mine is the axleback too. If you get a custom setup such as larger diameter pipes or delete a cat...it might get a little raspy at higher end such as 4.5k - 5k

 

I also have a Injen/HKS set-up, it sounds very nice. But im expecting it to get a bit louder with my upcoming MMW header install. Cruising on the freeway you can hardly tell it's there, when you have the radio on you can't tell at all that it's there...Untill you dig into the throttle anyways, that's when its growl is most noticable.

 

thanks for the info guys......ive heard that with the angle of the HKS.....it has burned the bumber of some cars??? have you guys had a problem with this? how is the install...does it fit the factory hangers pretty good?

 

My brother run the HKS on his Turbo tC and hasnt burned the bumper so you should be fine.

 

i have never heard of the HKS burning the stock bumper or Lip kit bumper...maybe an aftermarket bumper

 

sweet.....thanks for the info guys....looks like it's HKS Hi power for me

 

Oh Injen Intake and HKS Hi-Power Exhaust on my tC also. Sounds really nice.

 

ya, im thinking of this exhaust instead of the megan...dont know yet....

 

The exhaust is an axle back, Probably will not burn anything. If itw as a cat-back, then probably will.

 

uhhhh, where's the logic behind this? the reason for the bumper burning is because of the angled exhaust tip that points somewhat towards the edge of the bumper.

here's a pic of my car with the megan exhaust on it...

 

I thought with the cat-back more flow will come through and would heat up even more. Eh, probably wrong.

 

Is Ebay the best place to get this exhaust....or does anyone know of somewhere else?

$355 shipped I have hks exhaust with the hks intake sound is awesome..no rasp ever

 

Get the megan racing cat back exhaust. Pretty loud for the first week. Then you get used to it. sorry, im biased. But It sounds super nice!
