HKS Hi-Power vs. HKS Carbon Ti

Well I am about to order the HKS Carbon Ti and i am really worried if the HKS carbon will be very loud and therefore will be distubred by police. Note that I have stock DP and Cat for the time being until i make my new order.

I had and still have the boucher racing though but daaaamn it is so loud with those cams specially when I put the TP.

Can anyone advice me please

Regards,
Balucci

With those two, the police will be a problem and you will end up getting tickets. I'd get something stock appearing. Good luck finding what you want!

I have a ported head, 3" dp, 3" test pipe, and the HKS Carbon-Ti exaust, and I don't think it's that loud. It sounds good at idle though.

Buschur is louder than the Hks Ti.
I have the Buschur Magnaflow with the second muffler inplace of the cat and it's still louder than the Hks Ti with test pipe.

Yeah, I loved the sound of the Ti...I just didn't like the taper to 2.5" where it meets the cat, so I decided to go Buschur.

you're kidding right? my buschur magnaflow with punched out cat and buschur DP is fairly loud. its low pitch rumble so it doesnt bother me THAT much but its not that quiet.

i've read alot of raves on the quietness of double magnaflow; you are saying its louder then a HKS ti????

Or you can leave the silencer in it. Most "loud" exhausts come with silencers..

Yes

I have the new magnaflow (slimmer) with the sd muffler in the cat section and it's louder than what my Hks Ti with test pipe was.

I like the sound of the Buschur unit but I do miss the sound of the Hks Ti.
