nikk: if you had something like the RB exhaust then I think you'd be fine but with the HKS hi power, I just think you'll attract a lot of unwanted attention.

you did bring up a good point..i guess it becomes quite obvious i have an aftermarket exhaust w/ my hks...and a straigh pipe may be a little too much..

no experince with the corksport but I think the best resonated pipes out there are the RB and the BHR.
I've seen both installed and look / sound awesome.

The THMotorsport resonated midpipe looks to be of good quality too but it is up there in price like the BHR.

you bring up a good point. idk just thought about trying something different. the product that they had a sevenstock looked really good, and it was significantly cheaper than those two, if i can remember correctly...but then again you can't go wrong with those two brands.

hmmm, i see. idk i like the way the hks sounds with that straigh pipe i just dont know if its worth the trouble or if its worth it worrying over it.


jw...jedi has anyone removed the resonator on the cat pipe?
i was just wondering because, on ms3 a common mod is have their resanotors removed and it makes their stock exhausts sound awesome..is it a noticeable change with our cars?

The only thing that the hks hi power sounds good with is the stock cat and resonator. I do like the rp supercat when the pipes super hot at around 6k it sounds amazing. but when its cold and low rpms it sounds like butt. I'm gonna try it with the turbo xs pipe soon.
