This is my first thread on scionlife.com so im new at this but I just bought a 2011 superwhite tc n want to get started right away with the exhaust. DOES ANYONE have a HKS exhaust installed? I can't find any reviews besides a youtube video (made by hks) saying it was 6 db louder then stock on the axle back.

 

Appears you would be the first (at least on Scionlife) to get one.

And welcome to the forum.

 

Yeah the first one to get one lol....thats what scares me

 

HKS is a great company man. I'm sure the fitment is perfect, and the tone should be nice as well.

I really like the tip on that thing! How it adjusts and looks is awesome

 

LOL. Seems most folks here WANT to be the first.

 

I want to be the first to watch someone put it on their own first and give reports and reviews...

 

x2!

 

Pssh, half the fun of being first is letting others learn from your mistakes. It's fun, gives you a little rush tearing into a brand new car.

I bought the Descendant exhaust the other day. I was looking at the HKS but honestly that tip is what broke the sale. I just don't like it, it looks too "cheap" ricer for me. But hey to each their own. HKS is a great brand my roommate's Nissan Silvia is decked out in HKS.

One thing I notice though is that it is an axle back and install should be nothing.

 

Kind of hard to push out that type of cash without making some kind of educated decision and comparing what others have used. One day, maybe i'll just be able to do that, but until then, "We hungry cuz..."

 

^ hahahaha 2Fast2Furious?!?!

 

Yeah $500 is alot for a esentialy a muffler and a burnt tip haha easy install yes, but the difference in performance wont be anything felt so reall for looks/sound is why id buy it......6-8db louder is not all that and a bag of chips haha

 

Fast Five in April...

And did I hear someone say a bag of chips???

Lets be open minded about the dB reading. 95dB is the legal limit, so its rather close.

 

Oh i forgot tyrese was gonna be in that one too, that's why I thought 2F2F. but wow, in April?! For some reason I thought it was coming out in summer. SUPER GREAT NEWS!

 

it doesnt sound that bad, but yeah power difference wont be there i bet from a cat back

 

Might have to get the hks in the coming months... Just cause I can't find anyone who has one and I am curious!

 

You might want to hurry. HKS USA is closing. They sent a letter out to distributers last week.

 

Oh really?!
Well, must be a sign then. lol. Cause I can't hurry... so either Magnaflow or Injen.... since those are the next 'unknowns'. ;p

 

They are just shutting down HKS USA. They still will have HKS Japan and will be shipping parts to the USA if you need them. I am actually waiting until GReddy releases their Turbo Ti-C exhaust. I have been calling them, emailing them and I have heard no response. I am thinking about saying eff them.
