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!

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?

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!

Looks good

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

Does anyone has an audio file?
