I much prefer an exhaust thats maybe just a bit bigger than standard but does the job with out the cats ,dont like that exhausts bendy bits showing in the middle section,kinda ruins the look .Something like that Sunline exhaust that Ben had fitted to his white 35 seems a good alternative to a standard one

Yep. The HKS Legamax though is designed to be quiet. There's probably a conflict between a short and to the point exhaust and one that is this quiet while still maintaining decent flow.

I realise its titanium and hence light, but why waste all that money, material and effort in order to have such a convoluted design ?? Its meant to IMPROVE over the original not increase it !!

J.

It's not titanium it's 304 stainless. It's not really visible from behind the car either. Grilles and undertrays hide it all away. The concept is, better flow, same noise.

that dash looks like it came straight off the first "alien" film. surely they could have done better than that...

as for the exhaust, i think the 430 scuderia setup would look good by bring the tips up and in.

I know that HKS is one of those big name tuners and I'm sure they know something we don't but call me crazy but i feel this would have done the same thing without so much piping. Little 15min PS chop shop.

I have to disagree, the R35 doesn't have the lines to pull off an exghaust like the Reventon's
