HKS Hi-Power exhaust system D.I.Y Install







The Car

Stock exhaust



Start by removing the lower stab. bar



Then loosen up where the exhaust meets the cat



Loosen up the hanger aswell



unmount the exhaust, you will need 2 people for this

Parts



Mount the mid pipe of the HKS on the hanger and position flange provided





Bolt up and tighten



install hardware and flange at the end of the mid pipe



Mount the second piece of the HKS insert flange and bolts



tighten up hardware





since i have the VeilSide Ver.1 lip kit i had to more or less check if it would comprimise the rear lip

install hangers on exhaust and mount them, try using some lube to get them in

Now apply flange and hardware to connect the canisters to the rest of the exhaust and tighten









Re-install the factory stab. bar and your done



Final product



Manufactured 8/29/06

 

Nice DIY pictures.

Almost time for some new rear tires.

 

Great job, this may need to be a stickie.

Now all you need is a Berk Test Pipe and your set. The combo sounds badass!

that driver side rear tire is worse than mine
looks like your running some crazy camber for it to wear that bad


anyways nice write up thanks

 

Great write up! Any little tips? How does the exhaust sound when it's brand new? Does it change any once it gets broken in? I should be getting my HKS soon, but will not have a lift for the install. How did everything match up? Good fitment?

 

Yea i need to get an alignment

nice DIY. i find it easier to bolt the whole exhaust together and just install it as one piece just like the stock exhaust.

HKS Hi-power is for pimps! i love my mine!

 

man those tires are bald.. i dont know who would really require a DIY for an exhaust install i remember when my HKS used to be that shiney and new.

 

Looks good

I'm thinking of buying one myself. How does it sound?

Does anyone has an audio file?
