HKS Super Drager Axleback Exhaust

Does anyone on AZine have an HKS exhaust installed? I've only heard people say they are relatively loud and also a good value at $500. But I’ve never seen (pictures of videos) of any installed on 2G TL's. Any help?

I was about to purchase the HKS myself, but for a few more bucks it makes more sense to get the full cat back exhaust from Apexi. Down the line if you get sport headers the cat back will complement it more than the axel back. I paid $600 with shipping for my WS2. Great buy.

500? That seems a little much for an axle-back. You could get a catback for that much. And if you want an axle back more than a cat back than you could always get the tsudo axle back. Its $150 and sounds great. Look it up on youtube.

CustomCarsCentral.com All you have to do is find the exact part number of what you want, the Apexi for my '03 TL-S is 116-KH22, then google it to find the cheapest price on the web. Of course if you find something really cheap google the name of the website with the word 'reviews' to make sure its a legit company.

I was running them with one resonator removed and new piping. The sound was very deep with droning in the cabin.
