Thanks, AK! I've been contemplating on getting the HKS exhaust. Looks like I'm going for it!

Sounds great and looks totally awesome. Congrats AK.

Nice review, Is it just me or does your exhaust sound totally different in the videos comepared to ilive2win. Was his with the HFCs installeD?

Wow, that's a very well designed exhaust and the sound is tuned just right. Looks like everyone beat me to telling you "it's about time."

Anyone have an opinion on HKS VS ARK GRIP. They look very similar in design. $1,700 VS $1,200 price tag.

I was going for ARK at first but i end up with HKS....Look similar but different qulity and HKS is way more shinny. U can c the diffence very easy.

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)

That's awesome man!

dude, wait till you put on some miles. It gets even more exotic .

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?).

Thanks for the detailed review AK! Ive been on the fence lately about which exhaust to go with. HKS it is .

MC

welcome to the HKS exhaust club..

HKS is probably my favorite JDM tuner.. besides NISMO but im a little mad at them right now... so yeah im team HKS for now

id put that HKS emblem on the opposite side of the 370z logo on the rear... man i didnt get one of those



oh and not sure if the 370z version will do this , it might just be the pretzel bends in the GTR ( and im going to try to make this sound the least homo erotic as possible) but when it gets hot the tips extend out and extra inch or so.... then when it cools down they go back to normal

the first pic is regular 2nd is heated up

Lol yes as in yours sounds so much better than his. When I heard his I was like Meh, but after your videos' I kinda want one lol.

JB-370z

Yeah after you put a few 1000 miles on it, the sound becomes deeper and more even tone. The only thing I hate about the VQ37 is the d@m hiss I get in low rpm, what do we call this agian??? The exhaust gets tons of fingers pointed at it on the road, ecspecialy buy other modded cars.
AK make sure you buy some stainless steal cleaner to keep this thing looking 100% dont use anything else to clean it or you could have chemical burns, ouch.
