how loud is the hks ex. on these cars?
im wondering if the hi power hks is really loud on a scale of 1 to ten. i really dont want to sound all ricer,but my buddy wants to sell me it for 150 so i cant really beat it.
would it be considered one of the louder exhaust systems for this car or one of the quieter ones?
does it sound good?

Some links. You can decide. I think it sounds nice myself.

in general hks catbacks are always on the quiet side compared to others out there... they often have massive mufflers and resonators...
for 150 its a no brainer!

its on the quieter side but nice. I have it on my car. it is a nice mild rumble at cruise and idle but really opens up and has a deep loud tone under WOT. great combination if you want it to sound good but not drone or sound ricer. for 150 youd be dumb not to get it! and if its still not loud enough just gut the resonator and grab an open dump and youll be set!

This is my old car with a HKS Carbon-Ti on it. The HKS all sound about the same...

During that vid the car had a downpipe and testpipe as well.

its a pretty quiet exhaust with the cat on there. you can barely here it. im running a test pipe and its quiet when idling but nice semi loud tone when i get on it. I think its perfect!

ive got the carbon ti and i love it. its quieter than my previous and has a great tone. id pick it up for 150 and give it a try. if you dont like it, sell it for 200 haha.
