Yeah, but keep in mind that GReddy makes the exhaust cat-back only AFAIK, the headers and mid pipe I'm sure can be added to the HKS exhaust.
Oh BTW: Big Blue Flames! :D
I'll get the vid up soon!

Well the price is actually $1295 MSRP. I have heard of some places selling them for under that so it's up to the performance shop you feel comfortable with. AFAIK it's a 60 State Legal exhaust as it complies with the 95dba restrictions and does not replace the cat.
The Flames are due to the fact that the car runs so rich.

yo, wouldn't mind seeing that video. I have a suggestion to make: You said it's too big. Hand it over to me, I recompress it to a divx/xvid or something and host it on our company server.
If you are going for this, pm me and I'll reply with a location where you can upload it to...

Once Alex gets it to me I can edit out the parts we dont need, recompress it, etc. I just need him to send it ovah! :D
mental: I have only heard 1 8 exhaust have a ricey bleat to it and the HKS is not it. The sound is a much deaper rumble than the borla but it's VERY quiet at idle. WOT starts out bassy rumbly, and while the stock setup turns into a pissed off hornet nest, the HKS is more like a pissed off hornet nest getting buzz bombed by some killer wasps while killer bee's take potshots. It's basically the stock sound, only much more present and deep.
Once I get the vids they go up.

Sorry guys, I have some personal stuff that needs to be taken care of. I will likely see Alex tomorrow and put the clip then.
There might be a chance for a new Greddy clip as well :D

sorry if it was already posted...but i've yet to find a sound/video clip of the HKS exhaust? if it's already posted, could someone point in the right direction? i'd like to compare it to the borla and greddy before i decide and purchase one. ...and maybe a sticky or something dedicated to just posts of dynos and sound/video clips of the exhausts and other aftermarket mods (i.e. canzoomer's stage1, rotary extreme intake, etc.)? ...save us a lot of time going through posts trying to find them!
