I have an invidia so here it goes

1. Fitment was perfect, neithor side is to low / to far over...all centered
2. Exterior sound is simply amazing...sounds like an f1 car
3. Interior sound also is great upon WOT
4. Drone....hah if you have to ask you might need to do some more research. This exhaust will rattle your brain out your ear for the first week or so until you get used to it / quiets down
5. It doesn't move while driving, the rubber hangers keep it in place
6. http://www.evolutionautosports.com/t...vidiasound.wmv I made that soundclip comparing stock to the invidia. If you want to purchase one, check out the groupbuy on the forums. Steve @ evolution is selling them for a great price and he is a great guy to deal with!

If you do a search there are a ton of clips of the HKS on here. I posted a few myself with and without a testpipe. For the HKS:

1.) Fitment was good, but with the hangers a lot of people get one side to hang slightly higher/lower then the other and it is a little bit of a PITA to adjust, but you can.
2.) Exterior sound is really nice IMO, especially with a testpipe.
3.) Interior sound is nice, not too loud, but not quiet either until above 4k rpm where it sounds like stock at partial throttle.
4.) When you cruise on the highway drone doesn't exist above 4k at all, and there is very little if you are just cruising at any constant speed really, but when you decelerate you will have a little bit of drone. Of all the exhausts that actually have some level of loudness to them (ex. not comptech, fuji), this exhaust drones the least.
5.) I have never seen it move while driving.
6.) You can search for the clips that I and others have posted on here. I will try to see if I can dig it up for you.

I just uploaded a clip of the HKS with a T1R testpipe onto streetfire for you. Here is the link: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/B70E27A...F7B0D4E46CF.htm Enjoy.

Go ahead, we all know that you want to plug your infamous Supersprint or Comptech exhausts. They should start putting you on their payroll already. I'm just busting your chops...

Will the SuperSprint fit the MY2006? Can't seem to get an answer from the SuperSprint people.
