Turbo exhaust
So after annihilating my crappy megan racing exhaust I'm ready for an upgrade.
Looking to go 3 inch pipes all the way back
With somewhere between a 3.75-4inch tip
I'm really looking into the HKS Hi-power set up
76.2mm pipe and 96mm tip
Lots of different sizes
Anybody running this setup
n/a or turbo?
Or any other things you guys might suggest
I really was looking at Fujitsubo But its really pricey
And I'm sure they only make it for h/b

RE: Turbo exhaust
If they do only make it for h/b easy fix at the muffler shop. I hope nobody N/A is running a 4" exhaust

RE: Turbo exhaust
Yea I was talking things over with Zoops about what would be the best deal
Right now I'm kind of leaning towards the thermal r&d full 3 inch turbo exhaust
But the HKS c/f with titanium tip and custom piping is sounding really awesome also

Yea I'm really looking at the HKS carbonfiber/titanium tip
over all it will be cheaper then the thermal set up
Just get the Inch piping.
Only thing about the HKS is for the 3 inch pipe size the tip size is like close to 5 inches which is way bigger then I want
And I can't seem to find the thermal tip size 
lameee
what kit are you talking about btw?

RE: Turbo exhaust
boosted, I PM'd ya back. I think the best/cheapest route would be the universal muffler and custom piping, that will also allow you to make the straightest shot back you can if you are there when the shop is bending the pipe
