HKS SSM - 1st impressions
#11
The height seems decent, I had to adjust the hangers when I did my Mugen exhaust install, easy enough to do if you ever find that it needs adjustment.
Any idea on how much it weighs ? The smaller sized mufflers should offer some savings I would think.

How long have you had it? Has it gotten louder over time? I wish it was just a tad louder.
Also what are you using it with? Cat/hfc/tp? I'm wondering how it will sound with a tp.
lol no river. Has a healthy coat of wax all the time so it always "looks" clean. Also helps it's not a dd.
How do you adjust hangers? I got excited and didn't weight them but it feels relatively light. The muffler sections are pretty light.
Here's another pic of car rolling.

Looks great and sounds great. Even better in person I am sure. Just picked up my car just over a week ago and it has the Remus exhaust on it sounds alright but the tip size is just to much. I think this HKS system will be in my future.
Side note, what coil overs are those? Tein I assume from the color but which set. My car also came with some springs that have probably been on long enough to ruin the stock shocks and I wanted Tein since I had super streets on my 89 civic hatch. But was not sure which model to go with. Mostly street driven, maybe some auto cross in the future.

I have this exhaust. I like it alot. Wish it was a 70mm tho,

If you find that you need to adjust the height of the exhaust tips, just take a set of vice-grips to the metal hangers and bend them up or down. There are hangers on the exhaust and on the body. To lower the height of the tips you can lower the body hangers downwards, or bend the exhaust hangers upwards. To raise the height you can raise the body hangers upwards, or pull the exhaust hangers downwards. I find bending the body hangers to be easier, but you can use either.
I think it looks great in that rolling pic

Not the most comfortable ride but it's not the worst either. It's a good medium.
Thanks and yw.
I was really tempted to try the greddy se v2 but after having the first version I was scared.
Yes I sold the EVS locally. I really liked the sound of the EVS but the volume was a little too loud for me. But it is one of the quieter single 70's I've heard.
That's why I went to a 60mm as most 70's I've heard has just been too loud.
