Profile pix of HKS exhaust...

Does any one have a profile picture of the HKS exhaust?

I'd like to see how far it sticks out from the outlets. From HKS' pictures, it looks like it does quite a bit... but they do not have any profile shots.

Thanks.

From HKS' website:

My "problem" is I've narrowed down my exhaust choices to either Greddy or HKS.
Yes, I know about the price difference but I personally know HKS quality.

I tend to think that HKS' and GReddy's approaches regarding the "Y" connector are superior in flow to that of other manufacturers due to the absence of any 90 degree bends. For that reason my choices are also those two, so far. Thanks for the pix.

One other point; who says RX-8s aren't all that great? Look at the pile of people in the reflection in the above photo! They stand in awe. Hehe.

HKS makes killer stuff, but it's not like Greddy's a slouch - pretty much any major Japanese parts manufacturer will give you a top-quality product.

From the pic, it doesn't look like the tips stick out that far, if at all.

Really Dale? For me, looking at the first picture (driver side) it really looks like it sticks out far.

Here's a quick picture from the side. I've grown to love this exhaust, especially going under long overpasses!

Here's a higher quality picture. Sorry about the resolution on the first.

Here's on looking down and to the left from the driver's side.

THANKS!

BTW, what do you mean you've "grown to love it"?

Didn't you like it at first? If not, why?
