Does anybody know how much power the HKS exhaust makes sounds real nice heres a link to a video

just click where it says GO

 

I guess no one knows

 

that exhaust sound great! too bad i got no evo7

 

Wow.. that sounds really nice. I'm really debating between the JIC exhaust or the HKS.. the one on the vid. Exhaust upgrade on any turbo cars will most likely increase hp with a larger diameter piping.

Sweet video btw.

 

Sounds good. They need to make one for the VIII though. The VII exhaust would bolt up but be a little short.

 

Isnt the JIC that vivid is selling for the 8 really just a 7 one could be mistaken

 

i think exhausts from evo7's fit evo8's.. i thought i heard something about it

 

They do fit....but the rear bumper on the US Evo is slightly larger and extends outward from the car further than the Japanese Evo VII. The VII exhausts don't extend out from the bumper enough on the US Evo VIII.....and is at risk of melting the plastic bumper material as a result.

SC~

 

The only thing I do not like about the HKS exhausts is that they are coated steel rather than stainless. At least for the VIIs only the silencer was stainless.

 

Notice the layer of heat shield fabric above the tail pipe on that vid...maybe thats the answer to the melting plastic dilema

 

I have had the HKS Carbin TI for my wrx with a full catless donwpipe and upipe and the hks makes power. Full straight throw design. But very loud!!!

it cost msrp$580.00

 

I just got my HKS HIPOWER from ups an hour ago. It's an Evo VII exhaust I plan on putting it on later this afternoon and i'll have pics up tomorrow morning hopefully .

 

Someone should make a spacer that would work with evo 7 exhausts. Like where it bolts on to the cat it pushes the whole system back about an inch or two. Kind of like a 2 inch long test pipe...

Here's something i made in photoshop:
