Yay!! Me too! I just called in my order today. I can't wait. I hope I made the right choice, because I'm buying an exhaust that I haven't heard in person. All the descriptions and sound clips I've heard was enough for me. They said it should be here in about 2 weeks, but I'm not holding them to that. I know it will take longer.

Hey guys I have a couple of questions...1) are you getting the full Ti or just the tips....follow up what's the diff 2) How loud is it compared to the other exhausts.
Hope you guys can help b/c all I read is how good it is but nothing about why?

You do know that 350zonline has them in stock for $1460 shipped? I just ordered one the other day.

That's who I ordered mine from about a week and a half ago. They said it would be a couple of weeks. I can't wait!! Do you plan on installing yourself or taking it to a shop? Hoping for some install tips because I'm doing it myself.

Here's a little photoshop I did to ease my excitement until it get's here.

ive done axle back exhaust at my house but i dont think im going to do a catback on my own. I only have ramps at my house and their wont be enough room neened for leverage for removing the y-pipe. When it gets here, depending on the size of the box, ill see how I can get it over to a muffler shop. Any Mineke or Midas should be able to do the job.

I took mine to the shop. Direct bolt-on. No modification needed. Watched him do the entire install.

I know I'll get a biased answer, but I'll ask anyway...How do you like the exhaust? Could you guys give a description of how it sounds in and out of the car? Looks, quality, sound...you know, all the goods and bad (if any). It's probably too late for me to be asking now, but I'm so damn anxious.

HKS exhaust

Everyone is going to give you their own opinions because that's the way our brain thinks.

Pros: best cosmetic looking exhaust (Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder), HKS is known for thier high quality workmanship (made in Japan), and the sound is not too loud but more aggressive and deeper than stock, installtion is easy.

Cons: Expensive and many people don't favor the bolts in the tips.

I'd have to agree with the previous post. Excellent quality. I actually expected it to be a bit louder during "normal" or low-speed driving. I find it to be slightly quieter than stock when driven conservatively. However, it roars when you really get on it. No droning at all either.

For those that ordered from 350zonline, have you recieved your HKS exhaust yet? If so, how long was the wait. So far I've been waiting 3 1/2 weeks. I know it may be my excitement, but did it take this long for everyone else?
