The HKS angles the same, if not more, than the Agency Power exhaust that I posted. Also it has a bigger tip/canister.

I think you'd get just as many "that's rice" comments from the HKS as you would the Agency Power.

Here is the HKS Hi Power Axle Back (KeRoLiUkAs)

thats too angled lol, some installed less their hks less angles than that. My tsudo looks slightly angled, i used to be an angled hater but after i installed my tsudo its actually nicely angled, it looks a lil straight from backview but looking from underneath its really angled. Check the pic inmy profile.

We went with a 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust.
We cut the pipe rite after the second cat and flared it to sleeve the new 2.5". We removed the stock resonator and replaced it with a 16" long 2.5" dia Magnaflow resonator and continued with 2.5" mandrel bends over the top of the rear sub frame.
We used an opposite end 2.5" Magnaflow muffler sitting sideways in a similar to stock location and followed with one last mandrel bend in to a 4" Magnaflow single wall tip.

This mod can be done for around $150 for the do it your self welder and around $350-400 in a shop.

Do all the hks hi power exhausts for the tC hang low (theres about a 3-4 inch gap between the top of the tip to the body)? I just installed mine last weekend and just wanted to know if that was proper. I also didn't lower my car yet, but if I did, I think I would for sure scrape my exhaust.

You might want to try replacing the hangers with a shorter and stiffer rubber hanger.

There is a large gap between the tip of the muffler, or the bend in the elbow? Are you sure you have all the hangers on?

any pics?

Is there anything that looks close to the stock exhaust (nothing ricey) and isnt too loud possibly only a bit louder than stock?

or am I asking too much.

I dont care about power gains. I just want to be able to hear if my car is actually running haha.

the HKS posted above is missing the extra hanger supplied with the exhaust.

here are pics of mine, its really loud since i have no resonator i love the look tho, i have always hated slanted canisters, but i think my car pulls it off:




^ my tires are 245mm wide, so that is a good example of just how big the 6" canister and 5" tip really is.
