Just Installed my HKS hi-power

All i can say is wow. i ordered my hks hi-power on 4/24/09 from thmotorsports and paid 1399 shipped. Recieved it today and installed it imediately. it took about 45 minutes to remove the factory exhaust and install the hks. the sound is amazing. it is not too loud and the perfect deep tone. I would recommend this exhaust to everyone. just waiting on the mrev and 5/16 spacer now and i will be set.


hope this helps

Shaun

Looks like you have the same clutch as me. Did you also upgrade your flywheel?

hand Tools was all that was needed to remove the factory exhaust. the hangers were a pain but everything else was easy.

i kept the factory flywheel.

and i have a 06 coupe 6mt diamond graphite with every option except RAS.

so today was my first all day that i have had with the exhaust and god i am in love with it. got a few compliments and my gf loves the sound.

HKS====HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

i was at a local g35 meet and have heard the MD exhaust. i dont care for the sound compared to the hks. i heard both before i purchased them. plus i dont really like the look of the tips on the MD. dont get me wrong MD products are great just not the exhaust for me.


Oh and tony when is the MREv 3 gunna be available
