Bling factor yo.

I have an HKS Hi Power and I know that HKS builds quality stuff, but if you want to save weight that bad, then you must love driving your GT1 racecar!

Get a regular stainless exhaust and call it a day. The money you save buy something else.

looks hot

and the b*tches like that kind of chit

but imo, it's not worth it.

apex n1 canister is like 1/3 of the price, functions the same, etc., etc.

if youre looking into 10lbs for a catback check out the jic ti, arc ti.

the carbon ti would look nice. it's nice to shave off some weight when you can though. little things make a difference. might as well go cf doors, fenders, bumper, hood, trunk while youre at it and get it painted so it looks like a stockie.

I personally like it, screw all the anit ricer crap, oh for god sakes a carbon fiber heat treated muffler might possibly look good?! I think that muffler with BRM piping would be a very nice setup. Do what you want, but know that HKS's mufflers aren't rice like the aluminum wing rice.

No one said they are rice, but I would never pay that kind of money for a muffler or even a full exhaust system.

The fact that I am Bling Bling or that that the 1809ccs of the CA is well spent and there is no need for that worthless head design and Al block just to get an extra 189cc

i have the greddy titanium exhaust. its loud, but sounds REALLY deep and throaty. i assume hks would be the same, almost got that one actually. i like it. 8lbs is not bad either. light exhaust makes it better on the intake manifold, so it wont crack if you get aftermarket manifold.

i have found about the cheapest and best sounding exhaust is to buy a glasspack, and a tip of choice..and take it to an exhaust shop have them put the stainless piping and mendrel bends in and all that for about 175$ tops....sounds real deep and smooth..clean sounding some would say

Glasspacks are just too cheap with all the quality exhaust systems avail for 240's. The glass eventually heats up and gets blown out, making it louder and louder.

that never seemed to be a problem with my brothers glasspack it was going on i believe around 8 months and no change in sound...granted it wasnt a cheap 15$ pepboys one so the quality migh be a little better
