Cool HKS Hi-Power pictures and video
So this box arrived on Monday.



HKS Hi Power vs OEM



Just the Hi-Power



Notice something missing (no tip)

I wanted to hear it tho; car looked this ghetto for 4 days



I got the Ti tip today



Pictures:







look closely at that picture, I have no clue why but some one stole my "RX" badge yesterday.


short Video Clip (like a 3 second clip while going under a bridge. the noisemakers are K&N V2 intake, and HKS Hi-Power although you can't hear the intake it's there )

http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/d...t=MOV04357.flv

I'll post up a good video clip up soon, I just took this one real quick with my camera.

All comments are welcome.

UPDATE

12/24/08: Tip after 5 months

The tip is a bolt on, it was supposed to come with the exhaust. But mine did not come with one, I bought it off lazi, he took care of me, and got HKS to send a tip directly to me no charge.

No, the Ti tip has not maker info.

Hey input,,

I don't know if you saw the other threads about the tip, but make sure the exhaust gases have no space to pass by the tip bolt opening..
It's a great exhaust isn't it!

Ti tip does not say HKS, the stainless one does it says HKS on the bottom center of the tip.

Factor: thanks for the tip, I'll check.

lazi: thanks for taking care of the no tip issue so quickly.

the problem with the tip is that the exhaust heat is hot enough to discolor it. So mine went from looking like that, to having purple, blue, and orange all over it within a month. it was splotchy too, not a nice rainbow effect.

Its loud, louder than most exhaust I've heard. Its livable tho, it sounds nice, there is no drone. if your going on the highway cruising at 75mph in 6th gear with windows up, you can barely notice it.

Opening that box must have been the best feeling. I am soon ordering the HKS Legamax, I dont think I can deal with the single side. Although I do think the Hi power sounds better
