Talking Single Exhausts (HKS & Racing Beat only?)

Alright,

After digging through the forum and "Internets", with no response from Al Gore on my failed query's. It looks like HKS & Racing beat are the only ones that have a single side exhaust.

Anybody know of another company? even AbFlug & Knight Sports have dual exhausts.

I'm leary of the a non fully stainless steel system (HKS) from a past experience of the midpipe failing 4 years later.... and that was an integra, i've seen temp readings from the o2 go into 1000+ range.

The HKS Hi-Power has some extremely thick metal tubes, here's what mine looked like after a month of use. I sold it off because it was too loud.

The tips changed color substantially. The rest looked great.

Sexy, I am thinking about doing the one sided Exhaust for weight issues but it makes the car look akward now that I look at it

Thanks SauceyI986! that's what i wanted. I really liked that Blitz nurspec look, but this will be just as Fengshui. I knew there had to be another company out there, i just didn't care for the RB pointing down... though it does make sense

Anybody have a clip or pics of the 5zigen A-Spec exhaust? From sellers pics it looks like a single side, just trying to get a comparison.

it's down to 700 if you shop around. that's just the MSRP. I like the titanium muffler back, but stainleess steel piping and flanges.

I can sell someone my shrouds with perforated covers if they want to market them. The shrouds themselves have a clip or two missing, but you get to see how they're built and mounted and use the screens as patterns. I have both sides, so you can market for any single exhaust. Some exit right, some left.

Check the vendor section, there is somebody taking orders on those wheels in black, and they are tight.

JIC can have a full titanium single exit made special order, but you need at least 20 people in on it, and it will be close to $2000 each

$500 installed if I recall. It would have been $300 using aluminized steel instead of stainless.

how much are you willing to pay for one, including it mounted on a new shroud?
