I've had my HKS on for about a month or so and haven't had any issues at all. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope things will get worked out for you, pretty frustrating situation.

didnt HKS USA pack up and move back to Japan? might be one reason its harder to get a replacement.

THMotorsports did tell me HKS USA was leaving back to japan when i purchased. However, they used this as a selling point saying that ill have a rare exhaust, and it would be worth the investment

In the end i loved the look, and the idea of having HKS quality and name associated to my car.

The sound is growing on me..

Todays update*

I sent an email with the video posted above and this was his reply -

*EDIT - I sent THMotorsports another email with the video i posted above and this was his response.

"Hey Ryan,

After watching the last video you sent me. Have you tried pulling out the silencer to see if the noise goes away? Please let me know, it almost seems like the silencer could be the culprit. Also, warranty work will be handled by HKS Japan that is correct. The item would be shipped to them and then inspected and shipped back over. Please pull out the silencer and see if it resolves the issue.

Thanks in advance,

There's no silencer

That's not a silencer, it's the flange that the tips bolt onto. lol

HKS will still be distributed by ProMotion and Motovicity still so there will still be a presence in the US

Ok, so THmotorsports is saying that i will need to send it to japan for inspection. I wonder if that is an honest mistake or do they just not want me to return it.

And yes no silencers as i was told long ago. Im just blown away at the lack of product knowledge and willing to get this solved. This looks horrible for anyone involved in my opinion. Im about ready to just contact HKS and not shop with THM anymore.

Buyer beware.. If you have problems with your aftermarket exhaust you may need to ship it out for repairs. Keep your old exhaust for this reason like i should have.
