HKS high power exhaust questions.
 
So i am researching exhausts for my 8 and i really like the sound of the hks hi power. It is also price very reasonably. However i am not sure if it will fit directly on to the 8. is there any work required?

i did find one online that looks different to all of the others. It looks like it is already fabricated to bolt directly on to the 8. Has any one purchased or seen this exhaust. Have a look...

ANy help will be appreciated?

There's not fab work to do. It's a direct bolt on from HKS. The one you see in that pic on ebay is what the kit is.

most websites use a universal picture but the ebay picture is what you'd get if you ordered it from any place for your car

Nice im so pumpedddddd... also i have never changed an exhaust before, but it looks simple. i mean would it be better to pay shop to install it. or just do it myself?

Gr8Bullet 08-09-2009 01:50 PM

do it your self just use more then one floor jack lol

I8U 08-09-2009 01:51 PM

If you're not mechanically inclined pay someone...if you think you can do it then do it, it's pretty simple. I did mine in about a 45mins, which includes throwing the car up on jack stands.

ac3mastuh 08-09-2009 01:51 PM

or get a pair of jack stands from your local auto parts store or walmart for like $20 or $30 and keep the back end up, its super easy to do an exhaust

hell yeeee. im ready to piss of the neighbours, ill post pics when its done, should be in the next week or two. thanks for the advice club..

ac3mastuh 08-09-2009 01:56 PM

get a buddy to help you drop down the old exhaust off of the rubber hangers, it just makes the job 10x easier, its not impossible to do yourself but having help never hurts

I8U 08-09-2009 01:56 PM

You really want to piss off the neighbors? Then buy a cat-less midpipe to go with it...everyone definitely hears me coming atleast half mile away. :)

ac3mastuh 08-09-2009 01:58 PM

throw in a cold air intake too and it'll deafen everyone lol

mindlessadema 08-09-2009 02:05 PM

yeh i got the aem cai. its either the exhaust or the access port for now, but i want it loud, even if the ap speeds the car up a bit, id rather have loud and sexy then a bit faster.. its what i figure.

ac3mastuh 08-09-2009 02:07 PM

haha nice, I have an aem cold air intake with a midpipe and greddy evott setup and mine is already loud, i can't imagine how much louder the hi power is gonna be lol

good luck with your install!

rodjonathan 08-09-2009 02:08 PM

good luck post pics and video when your done :)

vbrad26 08-09-2009 02:22 PM

Its easy to change the exhaust out ----- AS LONG AS the bolts of the old one arent seized.

if they are seized ... its going to take some time to get it off. and you will need to get new bolts for it.

That price from 2kracing does not include shipping fyi. If you are from Cali, it would be much better to buy from Charles Hill due to tax.

Thanks
