if you want to get hks exaust but dont want to spend that much money like C/F Ti then get hks hiper, it make same amount of hp and TQ

 

dude, i got one. it does not even come close to sounding ricey. my buddy's got a prodrive; when he first saw mine, he was just like you guys, i think he too might have actually said "wowsa!" when he saw the tip; but anyways, he shut his mouth as soon as he heard it. i'm pretty sure he has tip envy now.

the HKS does stand out a bit more than the rest:

it has black hole galaxy sized tip
its angled toward the drivers side
it hangs a bit lower than the stocker


i paid 680 for it and feel good about it everytime i get past 3000 rpms... bwuaaahaaahaaa

if your first concern is the noise, then you should listen to one first. i leave for work about 5:30 in the morning, and sometimes i feel a little guilty of the noise if the neighbor's windows are open, but they've never said anything, so i'm not too worried. the only ones who did say something are the proud owners of a completely stock rex, so they like to come over and drool when they see stuff like the HKS. one sidenote is that i love the carbon muffler cause i think its less blingbling. cause its black (instead of polished stainless), it makes it stand out less underneath the car.

here's what i think the HKS carbon/ti says:

"ah, you didn't see me sneakin' up on ya, did you? Now i'm here, and i'm gonna eat'chya for dinna!"

You may have never heard of the company, but they make parts for WRX's in Australia. They are BPM and they make an outstanding LOUD SMALL turboback setup. It's a full 3" system with a divorced wastegate. The muffler is a 3-chamber setup that increasees the rate of exhaust discharge (works on the same principle as an airplane wing).

It's called the Mkiii Twister. Definitely one of the nicer sounding exhausts. Even though it's loud. You really hear how nice it sounds once you get up past 5,000 RPM. Smooth. Not raspy at all. Smooth sound all the way to the rev-limiter.

There is only one distributor left here in the states (I believe) and I'm not sure who it is, but if you can find it, GET IT!
-Etch

edit: I may be wrong about where they are headquartered, and the number of distributors. Here is a link to their U.S. Distributor page. Good luck, and check it out.

 

I just got the HKS Hiper cat-back on Friday. I love the sound. Loud but not too loud. I noticed a change in where in the RPM range that the car pulls. At first, I thought it was slower but it was just that it changed where the peaks and valleys were. I am happy with it.

 

it depend all on what you want??
proformance or look/sound. As far as hp gains, after extensive research i have found that the blitz nur spec cat back exhasust has the most hp gains for a cat back system. About an average of 15 hp. this exhaust runs for about 500$ to 600$ but you can find good deals online if you look hard enough. i have one on my 03 suby and what a diffrence from stock, but if you dont like the sound of roring flat 4 then this is not the one to get. plus one more thing the rex's have a boxer engine so no bee in a soda can, ricer, sound.. it sounds a hell of a lot deeper and personally i love the deep sound a boxer engine produces. also with the blitz exhaust you get a resonator (silencer) but this restricts hp gains but is good to have in case you live in cali and wish not to be harrased by jonny law, but ultimatly the choice is yours homie.

 

just get the HKS. plain and simple. However if you dont want attention from cops a good choice would be the stromung 3" dual tip exhaust. Looks like stock but has straight flow 3" piping all the way from the cat with no resonator Im planning on gettin it but i need to save up some more cash first
