I'm toying with fitting an HKS. Who's got one, what do you think and which is the best?

I like it, its sounds good, not too loud, although mine does suffer from droning a little.

HKS Hi-Power.

I'm a little confused. There is the Hi Power version, the silent hi power version, the Hyper version and the 409.

Is the 409 the same as the Hi power?

nomadicS2k

The silent has an extra resonator to try and make it quieter. ( I think I have this one actually! And I think its the resonator that makes it drone a little more...

The 409 is a single pipe. ( The one I really want!)

Aha! It's all starting to make sense.

Thanks very much.

Sound volume required down to personal taste.

Have HKS Silent & yes it has a cumbersome looking resonator, yet entire cat.back sytem weights nothing compare with OE.
Have a de-cat so no drone at all, just a lovely deep rumble on tickover, then a distinctive but not overloud yob boy-racer sound & an amazing banshee wail when you VTEC.

Invidia!

Bit to much for my liking. This is my daily car and I live on a VERY quiet estate in the countryside and the thought of firing an Invidia up every morning at 6:30am would just be....... damn right wrong!!!

So anyway I brought a Tanabe Concept G today which is getting delivered and fitted tomorrow. Lol...

Nope, both have a big resonator. The Silent is merely the full stainless one and the 409 is the mild steel one.

I thought the Tanabe was made very similar?
Certainly those silencer cans look the same.
