HKS Carbon Ti cans
A shop quoted me $390 for two HKS Carbon Ti exhaust cans (170mm & installation cost included). Think its legit? Isn't it too good to be true?? By the way, my friend who owns a FX 35 just finished installing his HKS Legamax exhaust there.

$390 for 2x HKS mufflers installed in pretty damn cheap if you ask me. Unless theyve been used.

That's what I thought. They're new.

They usually have a lot of imitation HKS "style" mufflers. But if you do get it installed, I wouldnt mind hearing it. =)

Yeah there are alot actually. However, my friend just finished his exhaust system there, so it's not a problem.

I wasn't interested in swapping out the exhaust system, but the deal sounds incredible, which is convincing me to reconsider my thoughts. I'm going to the shop tomorrow to confirm or reject the deal.

Jeez, that sounds WAYYY too cheap... especially since the CF ones are more expensive than the SS. That actually sounds like parts and labor for ONE exhaust!
