GoSwim

Whether it sounds good or bad it's a matter of opinion. Anyways, congratultions.

At first I was hesitant about getting the HKS exhaust, but when I heard it today at a local shop.. i ordered one right away. should be coming in monday. $350 (hooked-up) including installation. it doesn't sound raspy at ALL.. they DID remove the resonator on their tC.. and don't judge the way they REALLY sound just by low quality video clips (like what i did).. they sound 10x better in person, trust me.

congrats man, and have fun with that exhaust.

matty-tC

did they replace the midpipe where they removed teh resonator? if so, what diameter piping did they replace it with? are you running a header?

aarontrini85

i havent heard any tc that sounds like crap in person they all sound good unless they have a header

Hey MattyTC how come every time someone does an exhaust on this site you chime in with these "IDEAS" that you say work, where is your exhaust? You know with all the BS you talk about everyone elses exhaust you might want to get in gear and make that perfect system you claim you can.

sp0t

matty-tC, nope.. they did not replace the midpipe, and they didn't have a header. In coincidence, they were going to put headers on it that day, that's why the tC was in the shop. All it had was a Injen cai.

matty-tC

it'll be here in 2 weeks. the parts at least. i have to schedule a time with my welder.

thanks for asking but if you want to throw a hissy fit, first realize you don't even own the car we're talking about and second that i don't care what you think of me. don't mess up any more of this thread. if you want to throw a fit, send me a PM so you don't screw up this thread even more.

matty-tC

are you going to get a header in the future?

BOXMAN

as you see matty i do own a TC and a Xb and i have replaced my exhaust and its sounds better than the trd or any other i have heard. And its not rice its quiet and makes power. I was just saying dont flame HKS or Greedy.

matty-tC

do you also have a header? wheres the soundclip?

Actually the Real HKS high power exhaust (the actual cat back exhaust system) sounds nice down low. but around 5k+ it starts sounding like marbles in a tin can. My cousin drives a 240sx with the HKS high power cat back. I've heard it in person.

Well actually mattTC my exhaust doesn't sound raspy like the civics I got a custome mid pipe because the axle back hks hi power exhaust its loud but not that loud as I want them to be cuz the resonator is the one that is holding the loudness of the axle back and its not giving enough power to push it, that's why I got a 2 1/2 custom pipe so it will give me more power for my exhaust when I shift is raspy a little bit but not bad at all a lot of people actually like it.... I could actually here the raspy noise a little bit but not too bad. Then when I hear that I could just tell that my vvt-i snaps and you can totally feel it when its snap buy listening to the power of my exhaust too....

hks is awesome... i have it on my car ..all i have is the CAI and the HKS... no header so it sounds real clean

sp0t

I'll maybe consider it.. when a header is actually working 99.9% with no problems like the CEL light showing up. I heard the Megan 2nd version is doing well.. but I'm not gonna risk it.. 5o is really strict here in daygo. Unfortunately, I live next to a friggin police station (down my block).. so it's pretty risky, heh. Other than that, I fear the sound that it's gonna make.. might make the HKS sound raspy like what you're talking about. But yeah, the HKS exhaust sound nice and clean with the Injen CAI.. the dude was gunning it past 5k and all i heard was growls. No raspy-ness, unless I got deaf. =P

Alright I just had my friend drive my car to see if there's any raspy noise from outside to my hks exhuast I didn't here anything they actually sound louder and clear.... I could here the big growl from the inside of the car when your driving it but other than that the mid pipe made louder and it brings more power.... And that's why its making the growling noise cuz hks are like that and the muffler is pretty big.....

Aarontrini I was wondering if u wanna come cruise sometimes bro....

matty-tC

that has got to be the largest run on sentence i've ever seen on these boards. sorry i can't read it without my head hurting but i think i got the point from the first few werds.

matty-tC

alphawerks with antifoulers ($20) work just great.

as far as the exhaust. you just proved my point. you may have a great sounding exhaust now, but just as soon as you go beyond that and add a header, it'll sound horrible (based on previous sound clips). i'm building one that'll fix that though.
