HKS? That's like $1200+... Best bang for the buck exhaust will be any HKS clone. For $400 you can have an exhaust that performs like the HKS at 1/4 the price.

On this car, most exhausts won't gain you much in the terms of power. Pick on you like the sound of and call it a day. Roughly, power is the same +/- 5hp

It's very .. definitive by what you mean best bang for buck.

looks, power, sound?

I went from my nismo s-tune catback with the nismo y pipe and megan v2 resonated test pipes to fast intentions with fast intentions resonated test pipes.

Huge sound difference and I love my current setup, I highly doubt I'd change it to anything else.

Everyone has their own opinion, some people think 500 dollars for an exhaust is cheap , others think it's expensive- but on that same note some people who think that they pay that amount for the exhaust gets their best bang for buck- while others who pay 1500+ or more (IE: Amuse exhaust) get the best bang for buck since they believe quality is better etc.

It's very subjective. Good luck.

This is an excellent thread to see how different setups sound.

Honestly you won't make much with HKS had thatset up and n sadly made 5hp with a rev up G35.Bought stillen made great amount of power around 11hp, then bought motordyne's shockwave exhaust an made more than 11p combined it with the ART pipes and i feel more power just haven't dyno yet.
