"without falling apart" The HKS better not fall apart. I ran that system on my 1988 300ZX Turbo and my 1990 300ZX Twin Turbo without any problems.
the true hks carbon ti's are not falling apart. he is not saying that. what he is saying is there is much better systems for the money. the hks c/t is not even true 3 inch. and has neck downs. br exhaust's are true 3 inch with no neck downs and half the price and they dont fall apart and they make more power then almost anything out there.

and is'ent b/r's tbe cheeper then just an hks carbon ti CATBACK. i think so.

I understand you and I understood what Warrtalon (Sorry buddy) was explaining to me.

Thanks for trying with the exhaust LOL...

It's Warr TALON! :P

Yeah, I wasn't saying the HKS would fall apart - they aren't low quality exhausts by any means, but neither is the BR. Even my Megan was great - it never fell apart or had any issues.

Honestly wish I knew, well I wish I searched better, and found that you had a Megan TB for sale for $400.

you could go with an RRE rally cat and from my understanding its a test pipe? with a shell over it so if a cop does decide to check under to see if you have a cat it looks like you do. can some1 verify?

i went to RRE for a downpipe, fuel pump and tune. when i got there i asked if they had any "resontated testpipes" they said "no, but i can make one." it is a test pipe that looks like a cat, i just ran in the garage and looked under the car to double check.

Looks plays a huge part, why would u want that ugly exhaust on the car, yeah it makes 6 or 7whp more but i wouldnt want cheap pipes on my car, but thats just me. warrtalon is all about cheap parts that give good horsepower but im all about great quality thats going to last.
