It's a great exhaust, i love the sound. only bad thing is, after a while, you'll start seeing them on every other wrx u pass, and you dont feel special anymore.

good things: nice sounding exhaust, nice gains for a catback, bling bling

bad things: expensive, sits very low to the ground, prone to scratches if car is lowered, good number of the wrx's out there have an hks exhaust, bling bling

Yeah, it hangs low. My car isnt even lowered and the bottom of my muffler is pretty banged up. Great otherwise.

Go for the stainless version Hi-Power instead. Same power gains and construction, just no blingin' material.
And run a search... there's a wealth of info on this exhaust.

i love the carbon ti. Sounds really mean and the carbon and burnt ti lip is bling. My exhaust never scrapes when going over bumps but this could also be because i have really stiff suspension so im no where near bottuming out on bumps or bouncing once going over speed bumps. The only time it might scrape is if your going in a steep driveway but i would never try to since my front lip would scrape before i get in the driveway.

If you get the exhaust i would recommend kartboy hangers because the canister is pretty heavy and sways back and forth with the stock rubber hangers. Kartboy's keep it in place, just be sure to get the normal length hangers and not the extended ones.

If you want bling, go for an all Titanium exhaust. Not just the tip LOL. I personally dont like the carbon Ti. It's heavy, and ricer looking. Plus everyone and their mama has it. Get a Kakimoto, JIC, Cusco, Fujitsubo or an ARC titanium exhaust. Way cooler.

Greddy/TRUST exhausts have a bad reputation for blowing out their muffler packing after a couple years.
