Soooooo what are the criteria exactly... jus sumthin that comes straight out of the rear vs. a tip that pops out at an angle? I mean are you in the market for 2.5 in... 3 in... do you want something louder or something closer to stock sounding?? You looking for best bang for the buck #'s wise or do you want something pretty i.e. annodized vs. Carbon Fiber??? Does weight savings come into the equation???? I could do this all day

These are all great questions...also all that were going through my head too. I think the ETS system is the one for me. They are also "local" (2.5hrs away) and I like supporting my local businesses....I wonder if they might want this HKS exhaust

I have the HKS Carbon TI and I like it. It's pretty quiet for the most part

you could likely find someone to buy the HKS. Hell, if you're giving it away I'll find someone to buy it off me.

Seriously though, the HKS is quiet and there are always people that will want the name too.

If you found a buyer for the HKS, we could workout some sort of finders fee

The HKS Carbon TI is old hotness... but I still Rock It With respect! Plus with all the V-band Flanges and clamps I have done to that set up it would cost me too much to start that all over again with another set up

I have the single exit 3" ETS exhaust on my X and a Invidia high flow cat and downpipe. The exhaust note is definitely deeper but at around 3.5/4k rpm's (highway speed) there's not a drowning road hum which is a huge plus. I noticed they used a vibrant muffler on my system. I'd recommend it to others, doesn't sound all "ricer"ish.

I was helped by JR at ETS would recommend him to others.

Our exhaust is angled a bit towards the passenger side, but we can use a slash cut or straight cut muffler depending on your preference. The exhaust doesn't look out of place like some of the other exhaust systems on the market.

We build everything in house here in stainless steel

Thanks!

Michael
