Finally some fun stuff... the HKS Hi-Power exhaust came in, and I had a chance to install it.









Review:

Quality - Seems like nice materials, however the welds are a bit rough and the provided gaskets looks like they'll be burned through pretty quickly.

Install - Straight forward enough, however I don't like that you have to remove your evap shield in order to prevent rubbing. Also, connecting the two pieces of the H pipe was a bit tricky because of the tight space.

Fitment - I should've done more research here... I'm not a fan of the final outlet fitment on the 15+ Nismo bumpers. They fit great on the OEM bumper, not so much here.

Sound - This is the perfect exhaust for someone concerned with noise. It's barely more noticeable than the OEM sound, even at WOT. That being said, it's not nearly loud enough for me. I'm hoping that adding test pipes and headers will open it up a bit more, but those will be done at a later time.

Next up, wheels and tires.
