I think Ive seen one person on the forum with it... just want to learn a little more about it. Anyone know from experience how lowd, or nice it is? any downsides to it? I read it is for turbo apps.... so is NA bad for this exhaust?

 

NA isn't bad. it's just like other aftermarket exhausts in terms of gain for NA, difference is where the best gain is since it's a 3 inch.

it's pretty loud and throaty when on throttle, but perfect for everyday driving. the quality of the exhaust is also top notch.

 

So your saying I should get it

 

Never fear, Jedi is here.

Quality wise, the HKS is freakin' awesome! I had a chance to drive a car with it on and it reminded me of an RX-7! Nice and throaty without being annoying or droning.

N/A is perfectly fine for this exhaust.

XdeedubbX has some sound clips on youtube of this exhaust.

 

haha , there is really no downsides to this exhaust unless you don't like the look of a single sided or if you already have a midpipe (cuz it will make the car obnoxiously loud).

 

yeah, mipipe + HKS singe exhaust =

 

true... I have heard some really annoying exhausts before so I really dont want to go over board

 

sale price plus free shipping....

sounds great.

 

whatwooooz I might have to do this!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yup HKS exhaust sounds amazing. If you dont mind the 1 sided exhaust then its perfect.

 

I love it. Sounds deep and throaty and has a deffinate "rotary" sound at 9 grand. I drive with the windows down now just to hear it. Most deff worth it. Top notch qualitly and an impressive piece.

+1 on ordering from Hopup racing. I ordered mine from there, got it quickly. Plus, it's the cheapest I found and free shipping.

 

yea..hahah

 

hope you order it from hopup racing. they run one heck of a shop... good fast service

yeah look on youtube for videos of it. the guy above me has some good vids

 

^ Oh i know i cant stop watching them

 

I have a 2004 5speed rx8 dont know whats better a legamax of a single exhaust...because i read on the HKS website that the single one is for turbo engine's.....hmmm can someone help me whats best.

thx.

 

HKS legamax is AWESOME HKS SINGLE IS AWESOME! cant go wrong with either one haha, but yes single was truly made for turbo, 3"

 

the single sided exhaust will work for both NA and FI rx8's, although in NA forrm there is not much difference in power, but when used in a FI'd 8 you will see a nice whp and torque gain vs the legamax.

 

...NA and FI's? what does it mean? so the legamax is the best choice. ......

 

naturally aspirated, forced induction

 

Ok man thx. i didn't know untill now

greetz

 

I'd almost be worrired about losing power NA to be honest... sucks because I have no intentions of going FI and I really like the sound of your car and the build quality of HKS products.

 

you will not lose any power with it.

 

hey XdeedubbX can you post the links to vids... i found 2 of them... but i want to make sure i get them all.... i am about to boost the 8 and this seems like a cool alternative

 

you won't loose any power. You won't gain a whole lot, but deff no loose

 

..........eh......hmmm.......Yeah.......I can see how an exhaust can be an alternative to boost.........
