For all ya'll wondering what exhaust sounds like (it was my main concern when shopping for the right exhaust), HKS Hiper (or Hi-Power) is loud. It's very deep, rumbly, and thank god ABSOLUTELY NO FARTS. It's constantly there, though. At full throttle its really loud.

Just to let ya'll know.

Oh, and if you're wondering: its not ricey in the least bit.

i'm sold on the N1. i've heard really good things about how it sounds, and i love the look.

I definitely feel a difference throughout the powerband with the HKS. I do think i lost a little power at low rpms, and keep in mind HKS is 2.5" piping. I wouldn't like to see what the N1 does (on an N/A car, mind you).

The only drawback w/ the HKS is that its quite a bit more than the N1. The HKS cost me $565 (that's total w/ install + tax). The N1 will be more around $500 w/ everything, or cheaper if you don't feel lazy and install it yourself.

The choice is up to you!

haha, I just noticed under my name it says "Intake/Exhaust," and that's exactly what I have. ha! (well, along w/ the eibach springs and my strut bar).

Interesting . . .

i wish i had the stuff under my name, i just have the stuff you see in my signature. but yea, i kno the n1 makes you loose low end, but you can feel it in the high end i've heard. the n1 is like 400 from enjuku, and like over 100 for shipping, cause its over 9ft long....all one big piece. so that kinda sux. but yea me and a friend are gonna install it when i get it.
