+1 on this the drone is kinda loud at the beginning but you do get used to it afterwards and its like second nature...lol !!

You only hear it when you really step on the gas which I dont do as gas is expensive....

I wont buy the magnaflow but If see someone selling it used for a good price then ill pick it up have it installed for like $50 bucks lol....
Are going to the Sta Barbara Meet ? Would like to meet all of you guys in person....
The burnt tips are just one of the thing I really like about the HKS exhaust and it would look better with them than without! Installing the Magnflow x-pipe is very involved, $50 won't get it installed correctly! No the Santa Barbara meet is too close to Huntington Beach. Wish it wasn't I'm closer to SB and that's a very cool kick back town too....

I agree for the most part. During the break-in period it was worse and then quieted down. Now it doesn't really drone unless I try speeding up in a high gear or if it is like up a giant hill. Although I still may get the magnaflow at some point..

I agree with you on this one haha! I had one awhile back and got a ticket for it. Glad I got rid of it and sold it right away to purchase some Stillens, which sound tons better IMO.
