Clearance of HKS & M7

rvbsanjose · 01-16-2014, 12:52 AM

Hey guys, I'm deciding between the Hi-Power exhaust and the M7 exhaust with Berk HFC's. My Z is not a daily driver, but I do have several bumps along the way to the public road that may hit the plumbing if one of these exhausts hang low.

I was wondering if I could get some feedback from the community here who have either exhaust. I have a Nismo lowered on Swift springs. Thanks in advance.

C'mon guys... 97 views and not one feedback comment. There are tons of HKS videos on Youtube so I know someone here has one. If I had an idea of clearance from the videos I wouldn't be asking here. I forgot to mention, also if anyone has an Exotic Speed as well, please chime in. Thanks.

I have the HKS and Berk's. I am also lowered on Swifts and no issues with bumps versus other exhaust systems. FI Exhaust hangs the lowest that I have seen as my buddy has that and has several scrapes from bumps my car clears easily. I'm not familiar with the M7 exhaust.

I also have HKS and Berks on my lowered Nismo. No fitment or clearance issues.

The HKS sits like stock and stock sound level too(with stock cats). I have it on my nismo. It sits much higher than the Fast Intentions. No ground clearance issue at all. I have pictures comparison for you too.

Fast intention(v1)

HKS Hi Power

On my nismo

Stock Nismo

You have plenty of ground clearance with HKS. Hope that helps.
