Thanks for the review! I have always liked the design of the exhaust, but the few sound clips/videos of this exhaust all sounded like garbage. Wasn't sure if it was the quality of the video or crappy mic, but exhaust didn't sound good until I heard your video. Exhaust definitely sounds great and quiet...maybe as I get older I may switch from my Greddy
SE dual to this or Greddy SE v2.

Love the photos and how you arranged everything after you opened despite being excited. I would get too excited and just slap it on and completely forget about presentation haha

HKS has really stepped up their game with the recent new exhausts they have released. They are using new, much higher quality, and better designed two bolt flanges. Definitely a great looking exhaust system. I'm glad to hear you are happy with it. I've had two different HKS exhausts on my s2k.

Yeah I actually wanted to weight it but like you said I got excited and just slapped it on. It def sounds good.

Yup it's my first HKS and the quality is there.

Yeah I felt like I had to make a review. Tried doing research but couldn't find any information on this exhaust. Hope I help people out that have questions on this system.

You should pic one up. It def sounds good! Thanks again for the awesome service!

Very nice. It would look even better with an AP1 rear bumper, which exposes more of the undercarriage!

Or an ASM bumper. You can see the mufflers and piping through the mesh!

Thanks. I did think about it. But I didn't want to pay that much money for An exhaust that has slip on joints instead of flanged. I think the hks will outlast the Milltek also. The quality and craftsmanship of the ssm is really top notch.

If you want to check out a sound clip of the exhuast. We have one on our site. There is also more information about the exhaust as well.
