Re: OMG!! Speechless about the HKS Exhaust
plz plz..., post a wav file here, so we can know the sound of it 
Btw, I personally think that the stock muffler is quite loud from the inside. Do you think that by changing to HKS exhaust, the person sitting on tbe back of the car will heard too loud noise ? Any experiences with noise insulant ?

Re: OMG!! Speechless about the HKS Exhaust
Well gr4n23, I don't think it is too loud. It actually sounds normal (3300RPM and under) until you mash the gas and then the fun begins. I think by removing the stock intake resonated ducting and replacing with the straight 350Z ducting has made it louder than normal. This noise level would not be something the wife and kids would complain about. Here is an attached pic if the engine bay with the 350Z duct. Hope this helps

Re: OMG!! Speechless about the HKS Exhaust
Ok. I have 2 MP3s I would like to post. One is the HKS exhaust, and the other is the Stillen Hi-Flow box coupled with the 350Z duct mod. They are both around 450k files. How can I post them? I guess I could email them to interested parties.

nuttyprof, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for posting your impressions. It really does sound badass. So badass that I'm finding myself lately turning off the radio so I can hear the exhaust note. Really a well designed exhaust.

Re: OMG!! Speechless about the HKS Exhaust
A million thanks! I checked the web sites and they were all out...called Steve Millen in Costa Mesa and they sold it for $420.00 pplus tax, picked it up and installed same day..took almost two hours but not bad for someone with Parkinsons and a 8 yr old helper. Results...that night not much performance change, disconnected battery over night and shwiiiinngggg! Very nice! sweet extra pick up and niceeeeeee sound!
