Yea your right! I heard its hollow, thats why it has that deep tone to it. I guess i wont be removing it then, but will be cutting off the reducer at the end of the pipe!!

chop that end piece... good choice... make it that full 3" that they claimed in the past... it'll get slightly louder... sound a lil better... and supposedly have a nice power gain... although i didn't notice a difference

Did you cut the reducer of your HKS Hi-Power? It got louder? How can it get louder from just cutting that piece out? Thanks
