I went with HKS in the end!

Noticed a wee bit more power, but the sound

Over 5k revs it just sings!

Skyjawa...

I'm glad you started this thread as I'm in then process of changing mine also.

If you dont mind me asking .. how much did you pay for the HKS ones ?

Did it make the car louder / deeper then ??

drewby · 18th February 2005, 12:23 PM

gtr mart · 18th February 2005, 12:52 PM

I have stock (one fo only 6% by the look of it...

)

This is soemthing i will change when I can eb arsed.

Do aftermarket downpipes make s difference to the noise and if so, what?

Also, someone mentioned noticing a abit more power - for a person to feel it, it must be a gaian of around 20 bhp etc? Or is that rubbish?

I paid £285 for the HKS pipe from Whifbitz.

It did make the car louder (which I thought was impossible as I have a Greddy Power Extreme Race Only class exhaust on mine which would wake the dead!), I wouldn't say deeper, but richer

It quite simply sounds great shortly after the turbos are on full song and its fully on cam

I have the Blitz sitting in a box next to my HKS titanium/stainless race exhaust/sewer pipe. I didnt pay for either, they were gifts, so they werent my first choices, but I still likey. I believe my car has a Nismo downpipe on it now, but I am completely dissasembling the car to refresh everything.
