How would everyone rank these exhaust? in terms of gains, sound, and price?

 

TRD isnt even a factor if you're looking for performance.

At the moment, I find myself debating over the Greddy Evo 2 and the HKS Hi-Power.

They are both great reputable companies, both with a huge fanbase.

They both sound real good (from what I heard on their websites, and sound clips from other cars with these exhausts)

The HKS is cheaper, but it is mounted at an angle, I don't know what it'll look like installed on a tC, but a tC is more on the classier side of import cars so it may contrast with it's lines.

The Greddy is a little bit more expensive, but I know what to expect from it looks-wise as there are pics on this board with it installed.

 

i think that having the exhaust at an angle looks nice. the greddy evo 2 and hks hi-power are both axel back correct?

 

look at the Jotech TC it has a hks exhaust at an angle... i like it, i ordered it...

 

i'm gonna go with the greddy myself. i think both should give similar gains. not sure if the hks is full stainless but that was a perk i saw with the greddy.

 

Where can I see pics of the greddy? And is the greddy catback or axle back?

 

try greddy.com and they're all axle back you wont see a big gain in hp no matter who you go with.

 

im definitely gettin HKS cuz they have a bigger fanbase and i haven't seen ANYBODy dissatisfied with HKS. some ppl have complained that greddy is too weaksauce but i don't know.

i talked to apex integration and they said they'll have exhuast out by summer.

 

where can I see a picture and information on the HKS exhaust? That's who I've been waiting for to come out with one!!!

 

HKS all the way. I believe it sounds best and just knowing you have an HKS exhaust makes you feel satisfied.

 

GReddy Evo 2 is showing (via website) as a cat back for 549, and I can't seem to find the HKS exhaust on their page (www.hksusa.com). Where did you fellas find yours?

Thanks.

 

Im just going by what other people have said... someone called greddy and they told him it was an axle back or something along those lines.

 

yes where is this HKS you speak of???? i waited all day and no one has an answer yet

 

There's a few places that have them already:

or

It is out already cause if it isn't, I'm tracking an empty box on UPS.

 

Dont forget the RS bolt-on axleback exhaust system (Racing Solution)

 

haha me too

 

ugh...I had an HKS hi power catback on the focus ZX3 i used to have, but this isn't a catback like I had hoped...why wont anyone make a catback!!!! an axleback pretty much serves no benefit to your car other than the noise/looks, and if you ever sc or turbo, you're going to have to get a 3" if you wanna get the most out of that investment anyway. I just cant win.

ehh... im craving the need for an exhaust with the JDM lean to it, like the HKS and apex i N1, but it's good someone finally came out with a catback. IT's just not what im looking for.

 

so where is the cheapest place for the greddy and the hks? is install hard? need any special tools or anything? Thanks
