Default By far my best upgrade

After 1 1/2 years and 20,000 miles, the HKS Hiper exhaust I got yesterday was by far the best upgrade so far! But then, clearing out the headlights is a close 2nd.

Just when I was getting bored, the S all of a sudden feels fresh and new again.

if you want to feel a difference, try single outlet exhausts like the J's or Spoon.

Any input on HKS vs. Comptech exhaust? I have the CT exhaust on my NSX and love the sound. I have never heard the HKS. I would like for the S2K to be more throaty/aggressive sounding.

Don't get me wrong, I love the single outlet exhausts!

But doesn't it look a lttile odd having that open section for the second muffler? It just bothered me alittle bit....

That's what you might expect, but the people who've seen my car with the Spoon exhaust say that it doesn't look weird. Maybe they were being nice, but I don't see a problem, but then again, I didn't get the exhaust for looks.

BTW, I got the Spoon header in today and I feel a good increase, but for those who like sounds, the exhaust tone is changed, it's even more throaty! It sounds so damn good...coupled with the extra oomph, it gives my car a fresh and new feeling! I'm very happy

Does anyone have a sound file of the HKS Hyper exhaust? Better yet, sound files compiled of several exhaust systems offerred?
