HS carbon-Ti cat-back

Has anyone who has installed this have any pics?? And what are the hp gains on this exhaust? I just think this thing would look damn good on the EVO and have always been interested in it but noone seems to use it .

I think this exhaust system is just for look rather than performance. The spec I got this catback weight the same as the HKS Hi-Power catback. The HP gains will be similar since it's the same design. The only difference is the carbon wrap muffler which have a lot of problem due to heat and the Titanium tips. I will save $$ for other mods.

That is because it has not been released. I talked to my local shop and they said that their contact at HKS said that the carbon-titanium exhaust will not be out 'til October.

We have sold probably 50 of the HKS carbon exhaust over the last 2 years for various cars, and have never had 1 come back FWIW......

I've had this exhaust on an is300 and 3rd gen Rx-7. You can touch the carbon while the car is running and the shell is cool. If you know anything about Rx-7's then you should be impressed. Don't touch the tip unless you wanna lose a hand.
