Going w/ the Ecutek set up, and shopping around for TBE. What do ya'll think of the HKS TI carbon fiber cat back? Kinda pricey but I like the carbon fiber muffler. Also, I didn't see a downpipe from them. What dp would I go with? Lastly, anyone know where I could get a better deal than $950 for the catback? HKS's site has it priced at that. Advice greatly appreciated as ya'll know I'm still new to the Subaru world. Thanks again! Shane link:http://www.hksusa.com/images/?id=2292
do you want a fairly loud exhasut? if you do then it could be right. if you don't, then you may want to start looking for some sound clips. HKS does offer a d-pipe, but most generally see that as a not so great design since it is neither a divorced wastegate style or a bellmouth. i don't have hard #'s but just from the looks of it, i looks like it would block off flow from the wastegate. the $950 is just the retail price from HKS, you can get less exspensive. but for $950, you could be a able to get a full TBE instead of just a catback
thanx for the advice yerrow. yeah i don't want it to be super loud, but it doesn't have to be a total sleeper. any other exhaust come in carbon fiber? i'm thinkin the Perrin tbe; however, don't know if they come in cf. of course i want performance...just thought i could get one w/ cf as well. thanx again. shane
hks is a very nice exhaust IMO.....chris's perrin exhaust sounds NICE, milos blitz nur is LOUD, i have gp moto turbo back and its loud but not really its like 800.00 for the exhaust without the cat, w/cat is close to 1000.00. if you want a good exhaust with downpipe look to spend close to 1000.00 unless you go used. good luck man.
i believe they are talking about cat back exhausts at the bottom... and by taper, i think they mean does the cat back taper to mate with the stock downpipe
