Just ordered my HKS exhaust from Custommaxima

If all goes well I should have it by Friday and it should be installed by Saturday afternoon.

I was wondering......for those of you who own one or have seen them on a 5th gen max....what are your thoughts...

probably not......I've actually been looking around for a place to
get it installed. Meineke is pretty cheap but I don't know how
good a job they'd do even though it's supposed to be a pretty simple
install.

Do you have an HKS? if so how do you like it?

Nope, Planning to change my exhaust next year. Still wondering if i should get Greddy or HKS? I mean they're like 100 bucks difference...and with Greddy you get the entire catback. I mean, i love HKS too..perhaps you can give me some suggestions.

HKS or Greddy?

I always thought Greddy was a lot louder but I've never heard the Greddy.

Greddy is a little louder because it replaces the resonator. Both sound really good! I went with HKS cause i like the dual tip, but both are good!

hmm...

ok I am seriously considering getting HKS, a audio file of how it sounds would be very convincing!

HKS. I made no mention of GReddy in my post

GReddy is louder.
