Yes, but its pretty much worthless. You still have the stock restrictive catback and muffler behind it.

You should take a look at Invidia also. You can basically get a manifold back exhaust system with them. www.invidia-usa.com

A turbo doesn't come with it. The Invidia Manifold is for stock appearing turbos: 16g - 20g-LT.

I know genius. You said you can get a manifold back system. That would include a turbo. manifold--->turbo---> 02 housing---> downpipe---> test pipe/cat---> cat back. I guess my joke went over your head.

thanks in advance...

Everyone's going to give you an opinion, the only opinion that really matters, since you're spending the money is yours. It seems that the two exhaust systems that work really well are BR's and AMS of Chicago's. Personally I used to be a big JDM freak and now I just buy what works the best, JDM or USDM. You should try going to a couple Evo meets and see what people are running on their cars and hear their exhaust systems and go from there. Just my two cents

To those that are running the HKS Carbon Ti... you running it on a nine by any chance? is it full 3" and resonated? I want something - I know I'm being seriously greedy here - that is full 3" and not much louder than stock. I really like the bullet Fujitsubo RM-0A or whatever it is... also the Legalis-R sounds nice. But they're not full 3" and I don't want to sacrifice too much power. If it's close numbers to stock, I can't justify the swap out.

ALSO i really need a new intercooler (going with the ETS, that thing is sick!), and like i said, trying to save money for things down the road. I just wanted to get some opinions on that particular exhaust. Too many mods, mot enough money lol

thanks though guys
OT but you must be blowing your money on beer and other crap because I have no problems with saving money (money market, Roth IRAs, and savings account) and have enough for parts and paying my bills on my military income. And I know the guy at the McDonald's drive thru window doesn't make anywhere near what you make, even if you were an E-1.

As far as exhausts go you can't go wrong with the BR ones. I personally have the HFC with Magnaflow exhaust and love it.

The HKS carbon-ti exhaust is not a full 3" exhausted because it tapers down to 2.75" at the cat. If you are not planning on making over 500whp, I wouldn't be too concerned with it at all. The exhaust is awesome and sounds great. I absolutely love and am looking into someone welding me on a 3" flange at the cat because I will be running a 35r in the near future.
