i found a hell of a deal on a hks rear section today on ebay. i picked it up with a custom b-pipe, so a full cat back for $130 shipped. it needs to be buffed out so that it will shine but for that price i couldn't pass it up. here's a pic of the muffler

 

that's a heck of a deal

 

Man i got a glimpse of that. I thought it looked like a stock muffler at first

 

is this a straight-through design (where you can look into the two exahuse pipes, and see light from the single in pipe), or does it have chambers and baffling?

 

I currently have the cattman....it sounds sweet as hell with the headers.....but one of these days...I would like to try out the HKS rear section....heard the HKS sounds just like a g35 coupe? can anybody vouch for this?

 

Install it , test it out, and let us know how it sounds. Perhaps provide a sound clip as well. It looks like it's in great condition. Good buy.

 

Great deal man!! Now you can drive around with the stereo down and listen to the sweet growl your car will have now!

 

i'll get a clip as soon as i get it on. i should have it by the end of the week and put on by friday is my guess.

 

i was worried too that it was a stock muffler. then being a donating member of the .org i did a search and found guys that had the hks on and looked at theirs and this one. the give away was where the pipe goes into the muffler. on the stock on it goes in on the right side and on the hks it goes in the center. then i looked closely at the tips and they were identical. i'm very glad i found that becuase my car sounds like total

 

No, I think it sounds like the Cattman/Mossy, but a little more subdued... I heard Gooey's before he sold it...

 

so just a quieter version of the Cattman/Mossy? hmm...doesn't seem worth it then....

 

there was a sound clip a while back from polo. In the clip, the HKS sounds meaner and deeper than Greddy Evo...I personally ended up with the Evo.

 

they sound very good, van has one here in OKC. his car is very sweet. sounds like a stock g35 when cruising and sounds very nice when he's at WOT. his is a 3.5 and mine is a 3.0 but i hope they will be close in sound.

 

Yeah, your buddy Van has the very same piece that I heard... off Gooey's car... it def sounds good... you'll like it...

 

so where does hks stand compared to evo and cattman in terms of sound? louder or less loud.

 

so far from my readings....it goes EVO>Cattman>HKS>Frankencar

I know there is another popular muffler out there...PowerTech 1102 1103 or something....I wonder where it stands on that list

 

i get to pick it up later today and i'll have pics and sound clips late tonight

 

i know there is a clip of it in the exhaust clips sticky. Its the pt1011 (3inch tips i think) and the pt 1012 (4inch?). The pt1011 fits prefectly inside the stillen rear valence. A lot of peopel said it was loud and that the it drones at around 2500 to 3000 rpms.

 

It's tight like a tiger. Nice find. Let me know when it comes, I'll give you a hand with install if I'm around.

 

I got mine from Gooey for about $115 shipped. It was just in need of a sand and polish. Gooey is the man for giving me such a deal.

After:

 

so you think its a nice exhaust because im buying a brand new HKS sport rear section and im looking for the best place to buy from. I looked at 2kracing and they are ofering it at 415 shipped and thats the best that i have found so far. Dual tip is nice.

 

Cheaper on Ebay...do a search

 

Great pickup Blake -- it's about damn time, I was starting to get worried that you were joining the rice crowd with the way your exhaust sounded the other night.

 

Hmm, looks just like my stock muffler with Magnaflow tips.

If only my muffler was that shiny!

 

well it came in i got it polished up, not as good as vans i'm not that patient and it's goin on after i finish up my last truck for the day at work. will have pics and video tonight.

 

Just do that hanger method that I told you, and the muffler will hang almost flush with the bumper.

 

Nice find man. I'm sure it'll sound nice. When I was looking for a used HKS, I could never find one.

 

well i got it on. it's awesome. the b-pipe is all mandrel bends, the muffler needed a little cleaning but looks great now, not as good as vans but i don't have the patience. it sounds very good to me. looks very clean. kind of a pain in the a$$ to install being that i didnt' have a lift and i had to jack the car way up in the air to get the rear section in. but other than that very easy, i was done in hour and half with cutting mine off and putting the new one in.
here are a few clips

here are some pics of it on the car

 

Sounds alot better than your previous setup. Nice addition.

 

oh yes, it's nice to get rid of that stock muffler. very nice, and even better for the price

 

Looks good man, I will have to hear it in person to make a decision though.

 

Dang man, it sounds really good. I'm ready to hear it in person.

 

i really really like the way it looks

 

Okay, so I can hear it person when you come down to help me put my struts on Saturday....oh wait, you won't be here.....so I guess that means you Adam, lol.

 

Good job, Blake. It was well worth it for the price.

 

I'm gonna be at Texoma. I can do it next week though.

 

Sounds pretty good, man.

 

sorry for bumpin an old thread...

but I'm wondering if the HKS is a direct bolt on to the oem bpipe?

 

you put your oem muffler back on with the headers and b-pipe right? did you ever get a sound clip? im curious as to how much the stock muffler quieted the car down..

 

not sure on the oem pipe mine is bolted to a custom bpipe
