Question Does the HKS Ti 4" Catback fit with a Diff Brace?

Looking at a pic of it installed, I am thinking the answer is a resounding 'NO.' Has anyone tried this?

From what I remember, I dont think it fits with the KG parts style brace. Where can you buy this system from?

The piping is SS and the cannister is titanium, I had this exhaust before.

Youve had it and gotten rid of it? What did you think about it? Do you know the weight of the system?

I was just talking about this the other day, and was wondering if it was a limited production model, I'd like to hear a little more impute about the positive and negative of this exhaust.

Does someone else make a 4" exhaust?

I don't believe HK$ sells them anymore.

I ended up having Sean at A-spec fab me up a full turbo back 4 inch exhaust with a pair of magnaflow mufflers, here's a sound clip:

HKS no longer offers this exaust in the U.S. If you're worried about passing emissions testing, this is not for you 'cause it's from the downpipe back therefore, eliminating the main cat. If you are already running single turbo, this exaust is not a problem although, some guys say it's loud. Sacraficing a few ponies by adding a resegnator should solve this problem.

That was pretty quiet Rich! I may have to get one of those mufflers to quiet down the HKS if it's too loud for me.

Is there a link to a Japanese retailer that would have it in stock, I dont even see it on the HKS website.

I guess you can try the Japan HKS website. I'm guessing it's www.hks.co.jp or, do a search

I'm running 2 of the 14163s found here:

http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/02race.asp

and the tip is a 5 incher, 35148, meant for diesels. It has a nice 15 degree rolled tip on it:

a resonated midpipe is usually just a muffler welded into the midpipe to lower the dB (ie: http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/resmidpipefd3s.htm), what "resonater" are you planning to run?
