HKS Exhaust Installed! Pics

http://home.satx.rr.com/silverbullet/hks/

I just installed it, and its not loud at all, but perfect! Looks nice too. I stopped by the Honda dealership and picked up some rubber mounts. 3.89 each for a v6 ex accord. Fit perfect. That was to fix the left side up higher. I will have a detail write up by this weekend for you guys on how to install them.

Also did the free/coldair intake mod with 3 inch dryer duck. Thanks JROCK! I defintely feel a seat in the pants more power improvement from this. The car defintely likes chriping 2nd all the time now.

You shouldn't lose torque with just a change of mufflers which is all an axle-back system really is, especially if they're barely much louder than stock.

If you do cat back and remove the pre-muffler and all that and improve the flow AND use hi-flow mufflers, sure you will lose some torque and gain some hp.

With comptech and HKS super dragers I'd wager you gain like 3-5hp at the most and MAYBE lose 1-2 torque if any.

That and adding the dryer ducking to flow in colder air.

The other end is curved towards the fog light, and held in that position with 2 large tie straps.
