There it is fellas. Since when does HKS make an exhaust for us? I'm looking to get an exhaust right now, since I have headers on the way from jet-hot I figure I might as well do the whole set-up. Just looking for other options than the SSAutochrome/Motoria set-up. This is on E-bay right now too:

That one looks like cheap crap to me. Any opinions on either of these? I'd be tempted to go for the HKS, but I think I'd be dissapointed. Especially considering their seller rating and $100 shipping? All the others are around $40.

Email the HKS guy to get pictures of the actual exhaust, I didn't know HKS made an exhaust for us, but it would be cool if they did.

That Monza setup is rumoured to rust out fairly quick, but that is only cause it's not stainless steel.

Best bet would prolly be to ensure the HKS will fit.

I'm pretty sure the HKS exhaust is axel-back, not cat-back. It has been available for quite a while.

check out cardomain if you're going to go with the HKS, a more trusted site, same price after shipping, maybe cheaper. I'd like to say that I agree that it's an axleback, but that'd just be trendy.

Yes, they have two types i believe. One which is the axel back sport exhaust with sport tip and one with the sport exhaust with the dragger tip. I cant remember but im pretty sure its not a dragger exhaust, just sport with dragger tip. which i have. love the sound

I have the axel back hks and have always loved the sound of the muffler. It was way to expensive when i bought it though....Not worth it....I would get one of the other options....probably the Apexi if Real still has them

I have the HKS exhuast on my car too. I like the sound of it alot. I had the orginal axle back pipe removed and had the shop do a 2 1/2 piping from the flex pipe back to the muffler.
