Default Finally have enough money!!

Ok. After about a month of working/saving up I have $390 which should cover me on either an HKS or Injen exhaust.

My only problem, I don't know what one to get.

Could anyone give me the cheapest prices available new, posibly with shipping included and a website URL. THanks again!

They both look great, but I'm not 100% fond of the angle on the HKS. Would they both perform/sound the same? If so, I'd probally be leaning a little more towards the Injen since it isn't angled like the HKS. Are they both around the same price?

Thanks again.

I know there have been threads like these before, but to be completley honest, I'm too lazy to search and want to order one ASAP.

i dont like the angle'd exhausts, but i can tell you that i have seen the injen in person and it has a deep sound, and it looks awesom. if i had to choose between the two, i would go with the injen.

Alright. I was showing my dad each, and he agreed with me that he liked how the Injen was straight. The only thing my dad was concerned about was that it looked like the bar that went from the muffler hung down WAY more than the HKS did. He thought that it might rub when I go over speed bumps, and he said that it didn't look "correctly made for the tC". Is this just an eye trick, or does it really hang down that much?

I personally dont own the injen exhaust, but ive seen it and its sits just right unless you drive over speed bumps like a maniac than you shouldnt have any problems.

If you drop your car then i think you might have a slight problem with it. But then again your getting opinion from a non Injen exhaust owner !

it hangs down between the rear wheels so a peed bump won;t matter anyway. just be careful when straddling things in the road. btw i'd get hks.

either one is fine, both won't have much power gains though because they are axlebacks. i'd personally go with the HKS but that's just me.

yeah. speed bump wouldnt matter... but bottoming out you might have to worry about.. you dont hit that speed bump unless your hauling butt over it.

HKS all the way. The Injen gets a little raspy at about 4300 rpm's whereas the HKS just gets deeper yet quieter (if that's a real word)

My vote goes HKS. Seems like you already set your mind on the HKS anyways. It only took me about 20-25 minutes to install mine. The sound is great, and on the freeway you can hardly tell it's there. Step on the pedle a little firmer and it gives a nice growl, especially when you have the Injen CAI under the hood.
