buy two of those HKS carbon Ti mufflers at watever size you want..

then take them to an exhaust shop that does mandrel bends..

get 2.5" piping to 2.25" Y split and add those mufflers on..


voila...

maybe add a small resonator.

hey guys since we're talking about HKS exhaust, i actually have a setup like that. just installed today, but i was wondering one thing. on low rpm it's beyond loud, but it descends as the rpm rises.

i have never modded a car before, and have never had a change from stock exhaust.

question is, is that normal? loud low rpm, quieter high rpm.

Yeah, I have the same set up but single HKS carbon Ti exhaust and it does the same. After around 4500-5000 RPM you can hear the engine noise over the exhaust.

U know whats funny, this is cheaper, and sounds 10x better then altp,comptech,xlr8, and kinda better then greddy. But y would u go 2.5, to 2.25. You should go 2.25-2.5 towards end.

Because it splits in 2 and 2 outlets of 2.25 Flows plenty coming off a single 2.5. Also it helps out backpressure which helps low end.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the dual angled tip exhaust setup on any car? Coming from the s13/s14 world I've always liked the single angled tip exhaust but have always thought dual looks weird.

None the less - the setup sounds nice...
