People are willing to pay $100+ for an HR Y-Pipe due to the larger diameter of aftermarket y-pipes which could introduce rasp into your exhaust note depending on the size piping (and resonators or lack thereof) in the rest of your exhaust setup. Its the best Y-pipe to be paired with a Coupe middy or OEM Sedan middy with gains throughout the powerband, where the aftermarket y pipes lose a tiny bit down low and has equal gains up top.

But not all hr-ypipes have the same diameter. And not all aftermarket ones are larger

I used to have a coupe mid, but now I don't have a resonator on it. My you tube vid I had the coupe midpipe with Kinetix test pipes. I have stock cats now as well and the sound is kinda close. With the test pipes it was a little louder. But right now it's loud enough. Gotten me pulled over a few times but I got out the ticket....*knock on wood I don't get pulled over for it* lol.

Yup, that's the one. Has 3" dual tips. I like the tips better than the HKS and the fact that the canister is shorter than the HKS. Helped clearance wise even though sometimes it was inevitable and I still scraped it a little.

Here is a comparison between the two for size and fitment.

HKS


Sebring


[HKS]


[Sebring]


Sebring fits a little more snug.

Can't wait till I do my full exhaust. Gonna depend on whether I do the custom rear bumper or not, that's the tricky part. If I don't do the custom bumper, I'm going with Labree test pipes and have him fabricate the y pipe and midpipe, possible put a resonator on the mid and stick with the sebring muffler. If I go with the custom bumper, then I'll go with the Labree test pipes, fabricated y pipe, midpipe will have a large sebring resonator going to straight pipes. Not sure if I'll do a single pipe that splits into 2 or just go with dual pipes from the getgo. Will definitely have quad tips though. For those that haven't seen, this is what I'm aiming for when doing the custom rear bumper. Would be nice if a vendor made one. It's just a rough image, prob would take out one of the lines to make it look a little smoother.

Benefit of the HKS is that it's a bolt on. The Sebring is not. So you'll need to cut off part of you OEM muffler and weld piping to it. Any muffler shop can do it so it's not a big deal and shouldn't cost you more than $40-$60. If you don't want to cut your OEM muffler, you can always get another one. All you really need is the part that bolts to midpipe, no more than 5" (actually less). So that's another $20. Even then, for about $200 it's a great deal.

so whenever I go on long drives and I'm on the highway for 50+ continuous miles my TPMS sensor light goes off.
I can't figure out why since the tires are not losing pressure and this only happens when I'm on the highway for a while without stopping.
Any ideas on what it could be or how to fix it?

That means you don't have any TPMS sensors in your wheels...

The thing is I do. I have personally seen all 4 of them.
Plus I think the light would be on at all times if I had a sensor missing.
not sure on that though

I just can't figure out why the light only comes on in this specific circumstance.

did u put on aftermarket wheels? when i put 20's on my 350z the light would be on every time i got up over 90mph because the tires were so thin the pressure seemed off to the car. idk just my .02

Mine don't work properly. I drove without the sensors for a couple days and it never came on until I put the sensors back on and hit a pothole
