Default 2011 scion tc hks exhaust

So i guess ill be the first one to put up a quick review and video.
As far as fit and finish the exhaust is excellent! Its hks, they've been doing this for while so im sure you already knew it would be. Compared to stock there is a big difference


Installation was easy! It literally took me 20min and 10 mins was jacking the car up manually(what a pain in the a$$). Fitment is excellent, it sits nice and straight and really flows with the car imo.


As far as sound. The car sounds pretty much stock, just a little cleaner and less rasp! On full throttle its a little deeper than stock but not loud enough to cause attention(with headers this will probably be great because then you want sound too ricerish<--lol.)

Performance wise i do feel an increase in throttle and a little performance gain especially after 3000rpm! My conclusion is a great axle-back if you do not want to sound like a ricer and your going for looks. IF you want sound i would probably go with descendant.

Awesome!! I've been thinking about the HKS, but I guess I was waiting for someone to do it first. Looks good from the rear.

Thanks for posting pics! Did you use the stock rubber hangers or aftermarket or HKS came with them?

Nice! That exhaust looks good, but I wish it was a cat-back system.

Do you have any problems with the exhaust shifting left and right because the hangers are too soft?

I got it too and it is really not to loud .. you can hear it only when you put your foot down or if you are in hi revolution so if you drive normally it sound like normal and look like stock when you dont put the tailpipe .Really nice the best exhaust I ever have !!!. But if you like loundness pass on this one go whith descendant !!!
