Only thing i regret is getting 75A Bushings in my avid mounts, SO MUCH VIBRATION ARGH!!!
I would definately recommend the 62a bushings if you drive the car on the street

My 75a's u have to turn the radio up to hear it, and u cant have conversations in your car because the vibrations are so loud lol Not a very good car to pick up a date in, unless you're hitting boost the whole time and not making conversations :P

Some were ok with it, others complained the whole time about why my car was so loud lol


"omg , ur window vibrates"
"omg i your car was vibrating my windows in my house"
"omg ur exhaust is too loud"

The best is going to a drivethru and having the employees all come to the window because my car was making the whole inside of the restaurant vibrate lol

i did not feel any power gains after installing those cams. They look identical to the stock cams except the intake cam has hks stamped on them. I like the lope sound and these are extremly to quiet for my taste. Overall not very satisfied with them. Love hks just not those cams.

Maybe cause you have a IX? Usually aren't as lopey as VIII"s with cams. I've heard in person and seen a lot of vids with hks 272's that sound aggressive in evo's and especially dsm's and they been proven to make some power but i'm pretty sure your issue was being a IX. If it was on an 8 i'd be shocked to hear this.
