No droning. But I do get this vibration noise when i putting it in reverse. I think the exhaust is rubbing with something underneath. I'm going to have to take it in to see what the deal is. But as far as sound goes it is just amazing. And I get lots of compliments on the looks of the exhaust.

Where'd everyone pick up their HKS? Recommendations?

Is it still a monster wait like it was a couple months ago?

Good luck on finding a HKS unit. I ordered mine back in the later part of September '05 and am still waiting.

So, has HKS finally broken through the backorder crap now? If I were to order one today, would I have to wait for months?

Well, the way I understand it . . . Most of the vendors are filling the backorders.

I know the tips are adjustable - so I am assuming that you get them to be "flush" with the bumper. I don't like the sticking out far look.

I'm having the same problem, let me know if you find what the problem is. Its too cold here to go back under the car.

Ya I have the same thing too. One of my cat heat shields is dented so I always just assumed it was that rattling, but now that I see this. Its not a big deal at all though.

I called Intense Motorsports and they had on in stock yesterday so I drove over and picked it up. Total wait time 45 miniutes I just got it installed today and it does sound GREAT!!!! I am re-setting the ECU right now. How many of you w/ this exhaust noticed the loss of low end TQ?

I can definately feel it breathing easier but with that came a little less pull off the line... That might just be in my head (hopefully) from what I have read here.

The only other thing I ned to do is drill a couple more holes in the tips to pull it out a bit further. Mine sits kinda right under the arches in the bumper.
