Okay so originally I put my HKS Carbon-Ti on the Evo, and wasn't really satisfied with how the exhaust sat w/the evo 9 rear bumper. It hung a little too low and looked a bit awkward.

So I decided to get a Greddy-Ti exhaust because I saw from pics online that it fit a lot better w/the Evo 9 rear bumper.


It came in today and I installed it today, however I'm not 100% sure if I'm satisfied w/the new exhaust. It's not as noticable as the HKS was, doesn't stick out as much (although it fits nicely), doesn't angle as much, and its loud as hell. Once i get a test pipe and downpipe, this thing is gonna be TOO loud imo.


So now I'm stuck choosing between which exhaust to keep, and which exhaust to sell...

I loved everything about the HKS exhaust except for how it sat kinda low. I know I can have a shop modify it, but I remember reading somewhere on these forums that u can't modify it enough to look proper or somethin.


Here are pics of how my HKS looked installed:








And here is how the new GREDDY looks:
(i love how light this exhaust is compared to the HKS!)












So yea.. what do you guys think? Which one looks better? which one should I keep?

 

greddy ftw, hks sits too low for my taste

 

The Greddy definitely looks better...but imo it still sticks out a little too far. It needs to be an inch or so shorter.

 

yeah still sticks out too much for my taste, but definitely an improvement over the hks (looks wise)

 

I'd keep the greddy. Any straight shots from the back?

 

it does not stick out too far. the edge of the tip is flush with the edge of the bumper. With exhaust like these, you need to flaunt it, not hide it!

 

yea i realized i didn't take any shots from the back. I'll get 'em tomrrow.

 

exactdamundoo! hehe

 

naj .. i definitely like the way the greddy look much better than the HKS .. it sits way better

 

Yea i like how it sits better w/the evo 9 bumper, but its damn loud..


i hate decisions lol..

 

Naj,

I say stick with the HKS, looks better angled with the IX rear bumper.

 

Keep the Greddy... maybe add a custom resonator to it??

 

does anyone have pixs of the jdm IX bumper with buschur TBE?

 

oh yeah, greddy looks better
