Jun BL or HKS Carbon TI

Hey everyone, I'm having a hard time deciding between the two cat-backs. What do you guys recommend?

only problem is if you run the hks, be sure to have that extra cash for that. i recomend the grredy ti. its the greatest exhaust thats offered for the evo. a little spendy, but worth every penny

I've had the Jun BL on for a couple weeks. I'm running the testpipe vs. the stock cat, which makes it a bit loud for daily driving, but it has a nice deep sound.

The V-clamp system is a great feature. Quality seems top notch. Price point was also good. The "extended tip" actually looks good IMHO.

You know the Jun BL isn't made by the real JUN company, right?

No Jun BL is not the JUN of Japan, Jun BL I think is a Korean-based company.

jun bl is a knock off, go with megan at that point. Hks Carbon Ti isnt a full 3in piping though, So you might wanna go with the RNR/HKS carbon TI Thats the one i got and its Siiiiick! and around the same price. Thats a Full 3in exhuast. You might wanna do some more research though

Im that buddy, and trust me, get the HKS...its tame at normal driving conditions, but when you get on it it wakes up..nice and deep

people might say its not a true 3 inch, bla bla bla, but look at the power i made in my sig, its not an issue..the taper probably robbed me of 3 -5 whp at most, its a non-issue

its all amatter of whether or not you really want to spend 7-- on a catback, when you can get the greddy evo 2 for around 500, the txs, megan, etc

+1

The appeal to the Jun BL was a $499 v-clamp system, which makes it a bit easier to swap the test pipe and cat if you have to go in for service.

If that feature has no real benefit to someone, then any of the usual good quality 3" exhausts will do, (at the $500 price point, you're right at a full RnR TBE as well.)

thanks for all the info guy. I can get the HKS TI Cabon for $450 shipped, its used. But the JUN BL would be new, and for the same price.

Just put the HKS carbon-Ti on my MR last week.....LOVE it! Sounds great without being too much. Went on in 40 minutes, sticks out ~ an inch, but I personally like the look!
