I'll do it...but only if they are large size. Atleast 800x600 or up...I hate small pics. Email me.

Yes, I am very close to buying the Comptechs as well. Acura of Bellevue is running a special, $775 installed. But I am going to buy from Tim instead and install myself. But I'd rather pay $499 for the HKS if they are really that much cooler than the Comptech.

PLEASE give some good advice.

Gosh... those look pretty sweet. Is there any special installation instructions? Do they pipes match up completely? Do you need to purchase any hangers or spacers or gaskets?

I'd only vote for the HKS due to the special they have on this forum. Personally, I'm very happy with my Tanabe SM Hyper Medallion catback exhaust. Nice and clean sounding street exhaust. A lot louder than the HKS/Comptechs but I like louder exhausts. Not as drony as the Greddy Evos.

well from wut i understand, i'd go with the new comptech cat-back system...plus, the HKS looks like its gonna fall to the floor, maybe jus get the comptechs and buy new tips if u really want...or...hmmm dunno, the HKS price is really attractive

neone got ne links for the super dragger cat-back system?

Thats why i went with Comptech.
I really think the HKS looks too ricey with those big canisters all exposed. Uuuugghhh! I think it's too loud for my taste too, but the CT's looks so sweet. They seem very discreet, unnoticeable and nice looking. Just my two cents!
