i am going to get it for the simple fact that i will get a deeper sound. i dont want anything in excess just something a little more deeper than what i have now. the only problem is finding a coupe midpipe >.>

Putting the coupe mid pipe on your sedan will NOT make your sedan sound like a coupe. I've been down this path before and ended up with getting the coupe mid pipe with UT Y-pipe, was somewhat happy with the sound, but it wasn't enough, so then got the HKS exhaust, which gave me an ear to ear smile!

Honestly, not to make your decision harder, but I'd recommend going with the Y pipe and the HKS with your OEM sedan middy first, and see if you're happy. There's some drone w/ the coupe middy under loads and low rpm's. Search the forum and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Have you listened to any HKS clips? I have a few on here.

I actually just put on a HR Y-Pipe and Coupe Midpipe with the HKS on my 06 Sedan and it does give a deeper tone. I like it overall but wish is was a bit louder, but then would have do deal with more drone probably.
It does have some drone as mentioned above but overall I am a big fan!

I would say its worth getting and go for it!

I'm going with strup test pipes, nismo y-pipe, coupe middy, and HKS axleback muffler. I'll be sure to post clips when I get it all done ;-)
