The reason the car is louder when it's cold is because the ECU is bumping up the idle RPM by a good bit to help get the fluids pumping and warmed up quickly.

Blade, I think your GTHaus rear would sound sick with the HKS components.

The H-pipe is going to keep some depth... the **** will sound f***ing ridiculous man.

I know it does that but wen you drive off it sounds much louder through acceleration as it used to have a rasp when cold as the cats got warm the noise decreases significantly...

Ah, gotcha. Thought you were just referring to the startup volume.

Hey Alexpila I think you may be able to help me bro. I recently damaged a portion of my HKS hipower exhaust over a terribly built speed bump about a month ago. Ive been so aggravated. I damaged the top h-pipe section of the exhaust with the bilateral flex pipes. I DESPERATELY WANT TO REPLACE THAT PORTION OF THE EXHAUST WITH A NEW FRESH PIECE AS SOON AS I CAN. Is that the same piece you replaced and if so where can i can I get that dude?
