hks vs jic vs apexi vs greddy

ok, i know this topic on exhausts come up more that it should, but ive been browsing though this forum for quite some time now searching for the HKS Ti and JIC ti exhaust video clips or sound clips. if anyone has a site or video of there fd, it would be great if i could check it ouy

as for the apexi and greddy exhaust, i like the apexi n1 dual's but again, i havent seen many people with that exhaust. and is the greddy ti exhaust nice at all?

o, and i have searched for videos and sound clips, but i havent been about to find to many .


any help will be great guys. thanks

-Mike

hmm, there's plenty of guys running all those exhausts on their cars. i have the HKS, but not Ti. so i'm of no help. although, i can't imagine that mine would sound much different from the Ti one.

As for downpipe, I like the HKS one. The flange is shaped so installation was easier. I was able to put the bolts in, slide the gasket into place, then put the pipe in. On some DPs, the flange is too fat to do that. So a different brand could be a more difficult install.

The hks carbon ti sounds really nice it also has that deep tone and at wot it sounds crazy.I wounldn't run the hks ti exhaust because the piping is 4" and i think it would be to big for a stock fd this exhaust system comes with a mid-pipe.You shouldn't run a full exhaust with no cats because you could get boost creeps unless you have a upgraded ecu or a stand alone.

well, i was planning on upgrading all of that also. and since i live in indiana, its not to big fo a problem with the cops pulling me over for a loud exhaust, and we dont have to do smog checks .

here are my plans: Upgrade full exhaust
upgrade ECU
Intake
Radiator
Guages, boost contoller
and some more things

but what parts do i need for sure when i start to upgrade, so i can still drive the car daily and be reliable. from what i know i need a radiator, water temp guage, and some other stuff.

thanks for all the help guys!!

-Mike

yes it's the hi-power exhaust.

In terms of upgrading, there's tons of threads about reliability mods and whatnot.
My personal suggestion would be (in order):
1. Boost gauge and water temp gauge (and other reliability stuff: radiator, vacuum hoses, etc.)
2. Boost controller
3. CB
4. DP
5. Intake
6. ECU
7. MP
8. Etc.
