Default HKS Exhaust

Hey guys,

Looking at the following exhaust advertised on rexnet:

Quote:
3 INCH HKS SILENT HIGH POWER FULL STAILESS STEEL CAT BACK EXHAUST WITH A CATYLIC CONVERTER INCLUDED
Just wondering if they are any good and what I would look at paying for one new? Also what a decent price 2nd hand would be?

Thanks in advance

not too sure on price but HKS is a bloody good brand, i have HKS headers and they make my old x-force ones pi$$ im currently saving up for a new hks exhaust system throught tim, to replace my x-force system. HKS is more exspencive but worth it.

both go tomei for dump pipe, and a get super dragger II for exh.

theyre loud tho.. (the super draggers)

dont know how silent the silent is, from what i read in a review theyre not all that silent tbh.

either way with HKS cant really go wrong.

$1500 for a cat back...is that not a little expensive? Can't one be had for about $799 or some such?

xpseed quoted me that for the HKS but also offered me the Trust Power Extreme II, similar to HKS in quality and sound but under $1000, I am well pleased with mine!
