Thats cool. Seems like we're both on the same track. I installed my Stillen G3 about 2 weeks ago and now looking at the HKS Hi Flow, but I'm still wondering about what kind of numbers this exhaust actually does......

Then I'll move onto the stereo system upgrade and maybe pulleys and COBB.

I have a question. why only 1 hp gain???
I saw about 20+ on F.I or am i blur??

Sound great congratulation ^^

2400$ for exhaust? unacceptable (to me). Thats half the price of a GTM S/C kit.

It looks great ,sounds great, and im sure gave some power. If its what you wanted and you like it then im definitely happy for you.

Can't hide money, though. Shew. lol

^ That's MSRP. It's more in the $1,700 range.

I installed the STILLEN G3 intake last week and man the combo sounds SICK! I love it :tup:

I have no clue how much HP/Tq this exhaust adds as we were having problem with the dyno. So, I'm looking forward to see someone else do the dyno on their Z.

I'm sorry that it's unacceptable to you but I like the way it looks and sounds. I love the whole technology with the canisters, so that I can control the loudness unlike other exhaust where you have no control over it. You basically nailed it in your 2nd paragraph how I feel about this exhaust :).

catback exhausts are so expensive for the Z. I will be driving a stock Z for a long time.

so, whats this charcoal canister shield removing buisness?

I just joined HKS exhaust team. :tup:

nice!

:tup:
You wont regret it.

Wow these sound awesome... Im going to have to get these right after i install my gen3s this weekend.

So the hks is louder than the ark correct?

It's not about being loud. I have never listened to ARK in person so I can't comment. But I can tell you HKS has a really quiet tone when you're on the highway. I just drove 4 hours on the highway and I'm VERY sensitive about highway drone. HKS almost has no noise on the highway. Thanks to the JASMA* certification and those tuned canisters. HOWEVER, the moment you start downshifting the car just comes back to life! It starts to get exotic and really loud (in a nice way). On highway downshifting from 6th to 4th, you'll wet your pants! :) I am very happy with the purchase. It gives me best of both world - the look and the sound! :tup:

Just curious, why did you choose ECS?

anyone running these with test pipes yet?

HKS coming soon!!!

I recently just ordered one. I'm also interested in the ground clearance of this HKS exhaust. The place I live has a speed hump at the driveway of the parking lot. My car is stock height, and the lowest point of the stock exhaust (those two pipes leading to the muffler) barely clears the hump. Just by looking at the photo, this HKS exhaust doesn't seem to be any lower than the stock. Can anybody be kind enough to provide me some measurement numbers? Thanks

New setup from HKS?
 

I just got mine and it looks like this:

Different from AK's, the one I got has the front 1/3 section separated into left and right. Although it seems the two will be joined together when installing, I don't know how that's gonna affect the flow though.

just got finished with the install of the hks exhaust , tooooooo easy to install took only an hour and fit perfect love the fact that you may choose how far you want your tips to stick out flush or out past the bumper, great exhaust, paid 1200.00 new inc ship to frt door can not beat this system is awsome ,next is stillen super charger kit , again thanks guys for all your input it helped me join the HKS TEAM ,AND HELPING ME MAKE THE BEST CHOICE, it is not loud like a kids car , no ricer effect at all,great choice every one should have this system,, dont know if it could be louder maybe a little bit so you could here this great exhaust system

$1200!! Where did you get this price? Impossible!!!

1200?? :eek: details!!!

This is unreal!:eek:

For all you hks folks, what the butt-dyno tells you just the CBE alone(no HFC/TP CAI combined, no tune)? Any low/mid end power loss? How's the throttle response and the high end? Honest opinion please. Thanks.:tiphat:
