Pro's:
- makes the lovely HKS exhaust note a tad bit more aggressive
- a slight mid range increase (butt dyno)
- did i mention the exhaust note?
Con's:
- not carb legal (atleast not here in CA for me)
- a tad bit smelly, but u get used to it.
- if your car is white, the bumper may turn yellowish, but should come right off
i might post a vid of my HKS+TP combo later

I love my TP. Of course the Invidia is a tad bit louder to start.
The smell won't bother you. It never has for me, and I think it starts going away after a while (not sure why, but it does).
Great mid-range gains when paired with an exhaust.
Don't let people scare you about fines. Find me ONE person who has got pegged for a $XXXX dollar fine in CA and then I'll start to believe it.

What's a good tp to go with the HKS exhaust?
Also, does anyone know for a fact if the HKS exhaust is CARB legal? The tp won't be hard to remove, but the exhaust would be a bit of a hassle.

It shouldn't be nearly as loud as the Invidia. The Invidia doesn't have that extra resonator at the split like the HKS does.

Here's what it sounds like without TP.
