ok so last week i installed the coupe midpipe on my 03 sedan
and let me tell you, now i see what the fuss was all about. The midpipe gave me exactly what i wanted, nice exhaust tone at every rpm, almost as loud as the coupe, great, at low rpms & at WOT, and the weight saving alone is worth the price as people have mentioned before, the stock midpipe is a fuken COW. Thanks for the advice to everyone.

 

I heard it doesn't benifit 05 owners enjoy your midpipe

 

I added the coupe mid-pipe to my 03 sedan with the HKS muffler. WOW! It sounds better than a coupe IMHO. I love it!

 

how much did the hks muffler set you back??

 

+1. The midpipe is great on the '03 - '04 sedans. Congrats!

 

I have had two HKS mufflers now. I bought the first one slightly used from a member here who was selling his sedan. I paid $250 for that one. Late last year some "punk" ran into my rear end at full speed. I had the insurance company replace the original one. The body shop ordered it directly from HKS and paid around $450 for it. It is awesome! I was driving my Honda in front of a friend who was driving my G35 sedan....GOD! I could hear this rumble behind me. It is way better than the coupe sound.....

 

I have the coupe middy on my '05 and i like it, you get a little deeper tone (not very noticable at first) and a little drone at 1500-1900 which i actually like, it sounds really good once its nice and warmed up. Plus it saves a few LBS. too
-GP-

 

I've got one sitting in my garage right now.....you guys are making me anxious to put it on.

 

put it on, and i guarantee you'll love it

 

I look forward to putting one on my 03.

 

You won't be disappointed. Trust me, I love the sound when I start her up.

 

Jack that car up and put it on. The install's not too bad and the sound is fantastic!

 

Was the HKS muffler installed before or after the plenum? I have ztube/stillen similar to yours, my 05 middy a little off vs your coupe midpipe but should sound familiar. I know plenum makes a nice sound but I won't go that route. So just curious if you had HKS muffler before plenum? Also, have you heard 05 stock exhaust? Just curious what is the difference...

Anyone out there replaced 05/06 exhaust with HKS sport muffler?

 

A must upgrade for the sedan, especially the 03 and 04.

 

Damn you CATO....now you're making me want to install my HKS that is sitting in the box in my garage! (BTW - I obviously went & bought it....got a great deal on cardomain.com with thei 105% price guarantee ). Maybe once this last snow melts I'll throw it on!
