I don't think it does (I'm still on stock airbox and stock cat) but if I rev it (stand still) to the red real quick, I hear popping noise.

haha.. I know. I gotta stop by. I know he is Cobb Accessport dealer. He did a GREAT job on
Daishi's car. I think I'm strongly thinking about COBB. Are you getting tuned as well?

Thanks. Living in East Coast suck
. I would love to put some lowering springs on but I'll scrape everywhere (not that I don't do that now on stock springs
).

Are you saying mine sounds more exotic?
Just kidding. It's probably camera. I used GoPRO HD where Lou uses camcorder (I think)

Thanks man. Yeah was way overdue and I'm very happy with the product.

It's much more cleaner. Quality and sound is much better (at least judging by the sound, HKS is much more fuller/slightly louder). Check out one of member's ARK thread:
ARK exhaust install and review . Also, ARK Burnt tips aren't titanium and don't have the finish quality of the HKS (also non adjustable). IIRC, ARK is Korean manufacturer where HKS is pure JDM. I have been HKS fan.
I put on few more hundreds on miles on the exhaust. Sound is getting better as the exhaust burning in. It's slightly quieter now during cruising but becomes alive with an exotic sound the second you step on it!
Now, with any CBE (cat back exhaust), you lose a little low end tq. This is normal with any CBE, intake, HFC, headers etc. I felt that I lost some as well. So, I'm thinking about looking into COBB Accessport. I have only heard great things. Our member Red370 gaining quite
some low end tq he lost from his I/E/H mods. Also last week Daishi gained some
amazing low end numbers via COBB . I'm still researching what I want to do (and reading up on COBB). I can't do HFC since the sound is perfect right now. Best of both world. I am
thinking about G3 but not quite sure (maybe G3+exhaust then tune?).
