Opinions on changing my exhaust?

AlexNadeau · 09-14-2020, 08:27 PM

Ok here's my update. I had the opportunity to purchase a brand new HKS catback for under $1k so I bit..... I have installed it to my FI Resonated High flow cats, and oh does she growl. I love this exhaust guys. If I was given this before the FI, i would've never bought it any of the FI.... This has no drone. It is much quieter, but it is definitely worth it.

thanks again for all of the comments.

How much do the exhausts with the helmholtz resonators weigh compared to the competitors? They look heavy at a glance. I’m trying to weigh performance/weight/sound into one decision.

Having both HKS and FI next to each other, I'd say they're about the same...? I'd argue the FI muffler cans are noticibly larger than HKS', but the helmholtz make up for that lost weight. All in all, I'd say theyre within 5lbs of each other.

Hello everyone. Based on this thread I got me the hks catback. Probably gonna get the berk hfc’s as well. Anyone know of a good shop in the Phoenix east valley area for installs? While I am mechanically inclined and could do this myself, I don’t have the jack stands and stuff.
