Very cool. I guess that's the exhaust I'll get. I like how it looks and they sound great.

I've got an 07 too, were the bolts hard to get off? Maybe mine aren't too rusty yet .

Looks GREAT! Yours looks clean and new! I still love my HKS and I've use it for about one year and it looks old but still shiny . I love the sound and the looks, bigger tips makes me happy. But, one thing that disappoint me is the performance.... I want to keep my HKS and gonna try to get a nice custom mid pipe and hope this will help the performance like ARK N2 exhaust power.

-No, I just sprayed a bunch of WD40 on the bolts, and I got to use my friend's garage with an impact wrench, so it was easy as pie lol...

-Ya, I think I'm goin' to do the same thing, getting a midpipe, but idk which one yet, and whether I'm goin' to put resonators or a high flow cat...

How loud are these exhausts exactly? I looked it up on youtube and they do not seem loud but they have a GREAT sound. Now that I look at the pictures, the exhausts looks bigger than I thought...

Are these pretty loud?

It's not that loud imo. Probably louder than Greddy Evo2 or Tanabe but not too much...People have ref'd it at 89dB, not too loud...

thats a huge canister, i like the looks, however bend the hangers and bring it closer to your bumper, the gap is nasty.

it wont be too loud with only this exhaust on your car because its only an axle back. i havent seen one in person yet but with aftermarket s pipe and midpipe im sure it sounds beautiful. im gonna be switching to this soon and getting rid of my TRD

I dunno about Megan racing mid pipe and s-pipe.... they look good but don't know if it'll work well.... If not then go for custom mid pipe by any exhaust place but gotta be professional. I'm having a hard time too whether going to put resonators or high flow cat. Megan Racing mid pipe has the same resonators like the stock mid pipe but bigger piping size and better flow. Not quite sure its true but I gotta do more research.... check it out through megan racing website.
