Do the tips line up with the stock cutouts??

 

Its been raining

 

Mine too, shipped out yesterday.... Should be here friday

That's where I got mine...they,re doing good... I think that's #4 someone has ordered this week...

 

Glad to see this is helping members making decisions with this system Hope everyone loves it as much as I do. Keep us posted on what you think!

 

it's raining still? Are you down for thursday if it's not raining when I fly in? I brought my hd camera with me along with my new nikon d5000.

 

You definitely started a trend, lol... With all these different links now, I just hope there all the same exhaust. I don't wanna order from the cheapest site, but not have it be as good quality as the ones that's a little extra.

 

Hey what up people.... I have the same exhuast but on my exhuast it says "X02 Racing" I bought the X02 exhuast about 2 years ago.

I was also wondering, Anyone know a good place to order some better exhuast tips??

It doesnt have to be the HKS tips just slightly better than the ones I got with the exhuast. I think the new exhuast systems probably improved thier quality on the tips.... Everything else looks the same... Heres is a pic of mine when I was getting alignment done.. Exhuast is a little dirty, I havnt polished it ever since I got the exhuast, still shines even when it goes through a wash...I will polish it eventually...

 

So has it been confirmed that these links showing $350 exhaust are of the same build and quality as Hotels? $200 price difference for the exact same exhaust seems a little odd to me.

 

To be on the safe side, I would go ahead and buy the one where Hotel posted the ebay link to...You are still getting a GREAT deal compared to 1250 for HKS

 

^If you look at his exhaust you can see a bracket on the right muffler can that goes from the muffler to the dead chamber on that side of the muffler. I dont have that on mine (it is behind the muffler can), so there is a difference between the 2

 

Everything lines up perfectly, I was more then surprised of the outcome when it was installed. I even helped a bit on putting the exhaust when I was at the shop lol. Only minor problem was the driverside exhaust tip was slightly touching the bumper. So I had the metal bracket adjusted slightly lower to prevent it from touching the bumper. Cause it did burn some paint off the bumper since it touched it, but now that it's fixed, the exhaust looks perfect now.

But again, you can't go wrong with $350 exhaust, I can't complain one bit. Definitely worth buying!

As for the sound, how similar is the exhaust tone compared to the real HKS TD??

 

Also if there's anyone that lives in the Socal area specifically in the El Monte area. I know of 3 vendor that sell the HKS replica's as well. One sells for $350 picked up, which is where I got mine! One for $500 picked up, and another for $450 picked up. The one for $450 is actually the X02 racing store, which is also located in El Monte, CA.

Anyone interested let me know, and I'll get you more details. That's if your local to that area. I'm not advertising for them at all, I just know where you can purchase the exhaust in person. Rather then having it shipped if your impatient like me. hahaha

 

^^ Congrats! Now it's time for pictures and video! Get'em up!

 

Pictures for sure will be up! but damn no video cam!! GRRR!

 

This exhaust drones like crazy and is very loud. You get used to it after a while though. My boy has it on his z, his is off by a half an inch as well on fitment.
