So you have the HKS muffler couple to a straight mid-pipe
on your Sedan? Please explain what a straight pipe is,
where did you get it? etc.etc...
I'm greatly interested in your setup. Any pics?

 

i have no resonator what so ever on my mid pipe

 

Where did you get it from? I assume it is loud?

 

i have a sound clip

but dunno where to host it
its under 6MB

 

Please tell me how you got a straight pipe! Did you just cut out the resonator, replace
it with straight pipe?
Any performance gains?

 

ya i just cut the resonator off and weld on a straight pipe

dynoed for about 10-15 HP gain. 280 @ flywheel

this was before i got the exhaust.

 

I have the Blitz, coupe mid pipe, z-tube, and JWT pop. Very Deep noticeable tune. Sounds really good and not too loud. I perfer the hks look vs the blitz but I got mine for a bill even so I cant complain. With the combo I even get the little turbo wine from the setup at times. I had mine installed at the muffler shop to deture any rubbing or vibrating issues. Tech said he would garuntee his work. Good to go with the cats next!

 

Last Summer I sequentially swapped the coupe midpipe then the HKS muffler. The coupe midpipe by itself is fine. When I added the HKS muffler, my nerves started to unwind from droning. You save lbs. with the coupe mid pipe but I chose to keep the HKS muffer and replaced the stock sedan midpipe. IMO no hp gains either way, just a sound mod. I liked the look and sound of the HKS so I kept it and sold the coupe midpipe. Too each his own...

 

How does it sound to you? Any regrets? Did a muffler shop do the work for you? Questions..questions..questions!

 

i think it sounds great, not too loud either. but then i'm used to driving cars with straight exhaust with no cat.

i'm just disappointed that there are no HKS logo visible anywhere on the exhaust.

also the muffler looks alittle too generic.
i prefer the Nismo muffler look, but the HKS sounds 100 times better then the nismo. the Nismo was too high pitch. sounded more like a louder Coupe exhaust
