im planning to add a new exhaust to my fd since my 3 inch cat-back has been sold and i want more than 3"so i was checking around for the hks ti 4"
my car has a 450hp daily set up 500hp race set up so i want to know the opinion of people with this cat back sistem.

a clip will be cool to hear the sound

 

I do

In my opinion it's a bit exagerating due to the size but I must tell you that this thing is LOUD but again that's because is a straight pipe with nothing to minimize the sound. I love it though except for my neighbors. I'm sorry I don't have a sound clip right now because my car is down
Pero dejame decirte algo, ese exhaust te va a poner sordo

 

Check classified thread. I have one for sale, $1,100 shipped. Pics are available on the post. No sounc clips though. If you want to minimize sound, I spoke with Random Technology and they have a 4" cat that you can use. You obviously would have to cut the piping and weld this in.

 

yes i saw it in the for sale section,you have a nice price there.
im not worry about loudness that car will only be drivener 3 or 4 times a week so is not a concern really.
chinaman where are you located?so you can shipped to miami and the i can bring it to caracas?

thanks

 

Listened to one at Gotham Racing...this car have a straight exhaust 3.75" he said...

To me it sounded like crap...the ower was like 17 yrs old so...

 

go to hksusa.com, they have a sound clip of it on a fd.

 

http://hksusa.com/info/media.asp?id=1761&rsku=0 there you go

 

wet fart hahaa

 

You do not need piping that large unless you are making 500-600 rwhp.

 

ill be in the 500hpo range for weeked race use 450 or so dayly,thats why im planning on used that piping

 

Also, for what it's worth, it is only titanium can, stainless piping. Keep that in mind when making your decision. I almost bought the HKS Racing Ti until I found this information out, and verified it by holding it and "arm" weighing it. The Amuse Titanium unit, it is a true, complete titanium unit from the downpipe back.

If saving weight if your concern, get the Amuse Ti exhaust, it is complete titanium. However, if you just want it just to have a "titanium" canister portion, save yourself some money and just get the Apex N1 can and just have it mated up to a stainless pipe.

Not trying to kill anyone's sales or anything, but thought i'd shed some light on the "titanium" unit that I almost bought as well when I was in the hunt for a lightweight titanium exhaust.

 

13BManiac. I live in New Jersey and can ship to you. It's true that it's only the canister that is titanium but for the size of this exaust, it's not heavy. Some people are wondering why you want to go so big on the piping. For the hp you want to run and as long as you have a well made and tuned manifold, you can go as big as you can possibly fit. If some of the guys can't afford it, don't hate.

 

RedR1 do you have the Amuse Ti exhaust? Where can you purchase it? Im thinking about ditching my Apexi N1 dual for a single titanium exhaust.

 

You can get it from BulletproofAutomotive.com, they are also a sponsor on the site. BiscupID is the gentleman's forum name. Richard Schroeck to be specific. Feel free to PM him, definately a great guy. Doesn't limit emails to one paragraph, and is completely helpful.

I hope he doesn't mind me posting an email he sent to me, however, here are the specifics on the exhaust:

It's not about money, it's about performance over value versus how a company advertises a particular item. I was just put off by the fact that HKS marketed it as a "Ti racing unit" when in fact, it's just a titanium can. Powerhouse Amuse actually states if the unit is titanium by the can only, or complete Ti. That and the fact that the Amuse unit costs significantly more shows that it isn't about money

 

apexi has a titanium exhaust but im not sure if its just the can or not. here is a site for the amuse http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...dle=1&small=14

 

@redr1

wow, that amuse exhaust is almost $2,000. do you actually own that exhaust? if you do, what are your impressions of it? how's it sound? got any pics? i doubt I'd ever bite the bullet but i'm just curious.

 

that amuse exhaust is to pricey i can save 900$on the hks unit even is cheaper than the amuse with the stainless piping.
hks parts are high quality. my car is street racing and some weekends to the strip i think i can save 900$for a few pounds.
post a pics of the amuse looks amazing.
chinaman i will pm you for details

 

I have the HKS Ti but you have to remember it's from the DP back not a cat back. No Mid pipe just all 4".

 

yes i know thats want im lookinf forpost some pics and sound clip if you have.

 

so it includes the DP? or is it just the mid pipe and catback?

i wouldnt think anyone would need 4" on the twins, and single turbos vary so much in location, etc. that it would probably not fit without modification

 

pretty sure it is mid section and catback, does not include dp.

I agree, 4" is overkill even for upgraded twins like mine. I dont think I am losing anything by having a 3" exhaust.

 

It's just the midpipe and catback...I had this exhaust before and it too loud for street use.

 

sounds like what i will be getting soon. what did some of you pay for a custom 4" downpipe?


people said i wouldnt be able to drive a half bridge on the street, or go without power steering, or a/c.

right now i have 3" and cant use my phone, and can only hear the radio at full blast, so this shouldnt lessen my cars street abilities

 

13b maniac, If you are still interested in the HKS exaust, it's still available. Had a potential buyer in Maryland but have not herd from him.

 

Swolbynos, There is a shop not too far that said they would do one for $150. Saw one on one on their STI race cars, looks really nice. For a shop to do one of these for you, especially if you are running single turbo, you will need to have the car at the shop so measurements will be right.
