(SOLD) HKS Exhaust

[BCS_ZHP]

It can be. However, Bruce mentioned to me that it could damage the ss finish if removed improperly. Even with steel wool, it's possible the finish can be removed.






Thanks Bruce for the explaining. Makes me want to put it back on haha. My car also received a M3 rear end since my last track day so comparison will be hard to determine which variable was the reason.

Derek,
I was thinking you had swapped to the LSD rear end since the last track day so not a true apple-to-apples comparison. But if it doesn't sell soon, why not carry the HKS to the track with you next time and do a swap between runs in the paddock to see the difference. If you look at the BW & TMS race cars, they all have 2 separate pipes from the engine until some point aft of the driver, then they converge into one larger pipe. (Recall the first convergence point creates heat, so place it aft of the driver.) Same design as the HKS, coincidence, I think not.

Any idea what shipping is across country ?

I don't think at the current level of modifications I have, an exhaust would make significant time differences.

I had a quote for Bruce around $160 to ship since its so large n heavy. I would expect it to be around there. It's already packaged and ready to go.

Dhu. Eet.

Sent from a junkyard via GS4.

I am gone for vacation for the next week. However if it is is not sold when I get back, I will see what it will cost to ship on my companies UPS account

The dimensions and weight are in the first post.

I'm almost regretting selling it after Bruce just went on about y pipe technology. One of the best features on the HKS.

But do it! I love the exhaust and would love it go to one of us here.

Bump, I like to get this out of my garage

soooooo tempting.... Just bought new wheel bearing, need new track tires soon, but... WANT.
Argh. Temptation.

You are local. I work in San Jose so I can always meet you in San Jose area.

If you don't, you'll second guess this one forever cause you're never going to see another HKS, they stopped making it. I keep rethinking this one over and over, there's absolutely no one else that designed an exhaust like this for our cars -- its per the specs of the race cars for heat dissipation away from the engine and 2 into one pipes for more potential power. But have other more important family issues to attend to right now.
