It's a mini muffler/resonator.fits nice,no problems and my car is lowered.

 

Its hard to choose and I do not know anyone with a HKS. I can say I do still like my single AMS exhaust. It has a certain gurgle to it that you can not hear on videos. You can definate tell an AMS exhaust from a cheaper local shop made exhaust. I dont think you could make a bad choice reallybetween those two chices. I choose the AMS because I already had an AMS downpipe and all of the little details are nice. If you go with an AMS single just remember to read the directions. I took mine to an exhaust shop and still had to show the guy how to put it on because the mid pipe only goes on one way out of a possible 4 different ways. It is a little loud for some though but it takes off a lot of weight for an exhaust upgrade and had great gains.

 

Are you running the stock cat? If not, what do you have in place of the stock cat?

 

i am on a custom built 3" mandrel bend turbo back... with a test pipe and my car sounds stock!

specs are 2 18" resonators and 1 muffler single side exit... my exhaust weights a little less then stock

oh yea and its stealth out too

 

Thanks Maackin.
So does it require cutting up your pipe and welding this in place?

 

What do you guys think of the cp-e exhaust? After listening to their sound clips, it seems to have the best rumble w/o being obnoxious (its the one I'm leaning toward).

 

Based on images of the CP-E it looks like it has terrible clearance? how ever ive never seen one driving so i could be mistaken.

 

took it to the midas shop around my house, welded it in for 75.

 

yes ,still have stock cat.but trying to change it soon.

 

i had the hks system on my car,muffler and mid pipe.stock like sound and performs almost like stock.noticed big difference when i went to 3" magnaflow.

 

HKS burnt tips look cool

 

The Turbo XS isn't too loud if it stays just a cat-back, i had it like that since it was released with no problems. I installed a test pipe and 6 days later got ticketed. It's hella loud with the test pipe on it, but it sounds absolutely amazing!

 

Turbo XS has burnt tips too.
