HKS a bit too Quiet

ncheung85 · 05-15-2011, 09:16 PM

I just heard my car for the first time in 4 months and boy is it loud at cold start. I would say go with hfc. I think tp will be way too loud.

I can imagine! Don't want to drop the money on LTHs though, still got rims and several other things to go lol.

Which HFCs did you go with? And was there any rasp?

I was actually looking at the greddy exhaust which sounds awesome, but found a local deal I couldn't pass up!

I love the way the HKS performs. However, there is some rasp after I installed the test pipes, which was predicted anyways.

Thanks! This may be the route I head in, sounds like what I am looking for

Yeah I am going to try to find some videos to see how loud test pipes are on it. It is nice being able to have a conversation in the car...
