oh that HKS, I thought you were getting the hi power. Still waiting for someone around here to get that one so I can hear it in person.

From what I understand, the Carbon TI and the HP TI are essentially the same thing.

From what I understand, that isn't a completely authentic HKS exhaust, but rather one made by SFR using universal HKS carbon canisters, so its not even close to the same as the HKS Hi-power. I believe your piping is also 3" and made for turbo applications, not NA setups. I'd still like to hear how it sounds sometime though, hopefully you don't lose too much low end

yea, just wanted to clear up that they won't sound anything alike because they aren't essentially the same thing

I'll have to reserve judgment until I see them in person. Not really a fan of the dual angled setups in general though...

..Dang.. that looks good. But I'm curious, do you void any warranty when doing this yourself rather a dealership or certified installer? I'm considering having the dealership do my intake & exhaust.. but the price tag ($2,200) I don't know if I can justify - especially since I've read it's a simple install.

Intake is a DIY

Taking the stock exhaust off was the only thing that was hard. Some bolts were in really difficult to reach places and took a while to get off. But after the stocks are off, it's really pretty easy to put the aftermarket one on.
