Hks Hi Power or Fast intentions
I have read tons of posts about cbe and have narrowed it down to
Fast intentions and hks. I really like the FI but really worried about drone. Hks sounds excellent but not as deep as FI. If I go FI I would so 18 inch resonators with hfc If I go hks I will peon do hi power with motordyne art test pipes Questions -from what I read sounds like hks will be a bit quieter? -sounds like with FI there is moderate drone even with 18 inch resonators ? -if I do hfc, is that that quietest cat replacement I can do? -no drone with hks? -will motordyne art test pipes fit with FI cbe? Oh please vote! |

Fast Intentions without a double and no need to think twice. The craftsmanship and quality supersedes HKS.

I wouldn't go and call HKS bad or worse than FI - I have personally handled both in person, and I would argue that both are of fantastic craftsmanship. That being said, I personally think if you like a drone-less exhaust, and I mean drone-less: HKS is the way to go.

I'm not saying HKS is a POS, but I have heard A LOT more people ask/talk about F. I. than HKS. Seems that F. I. has a lot of options to chose from, but then I have never really bothered to look into HKS for exhaust. HSK is an all around good company, but their exhaust for the Z wouldn't be my top five.

I lean toward the sound just a tad better for FI. However I do not want drone. That's a big deal for me. Just done know how I could make a quiet setup with FI. Hks sounds quiet on interstate and good when you get on it with Minimal if any drone.

I'm sure most people would vote for what they have OP, I sure did. Really not a fan of HKS-equipped 350Zs so I didn't even consider it for my 370Z. They look amazing though.

The only reason in my opinion to not go with FI is if you're not patient enough to wait.

HKS isn't a lot cheaper.
