HKS Hi-Power exhaust!!!

First I want to say a big thank you to Kris at GotoRacing, our newest forum vendor for sourcing out this amazing exhaust at an amazing price and making all the necessary arrangement for my install yesterday.

I've waited all winter to finally get this on the car and the time has finally come! I realize that the sound will change some once it is broken in, but what better time than the day after to give my unbiased initial thoughts

First Impression:

I can only compare the HKS system to the OEM and the Megan axleback I used to have. The craftmanship of this system far exceeds the two (no surprise there)

The sound_ Quiet at iddle, about note deeper than stock (if that). Once you get past the 3k rev, it really wakes up and sings a deep tune all the way to redline. I would describe the sound as a deep growl with an exotic feel to it.

Fitment_ Everything went on without at hitch and lines up perfectly.

Thanks guys

Casey_ you'll have to take some sounds clips if you get the RHFC before I do. I'm assuming you're going with the Fast Intention ones?
