.... for putting huge grin on my face!!!

Why?? Have a look at this:



I wanted a normal HKS Hiper, but there was a 4-6 week wait on those, but I did manage to get this a HKS Hi-Power Muffler Ti-Limited, to give it it's full name, or a HKS Hiper with a titanium tailpipe!

Branko of BR Developments got it next working day for me!! I ordered it last friday, and it was ready for collection on Monday!

Andy at Cheam Motors managed to squeeze my car in to fit it!! i called them up on Tuesday, and it was being fitted on Wednesday morning!!

The pipe is much louder than my old ScoobySport backbox and Magnex centre!! The HKS centre and backbox seems to be less restrictive, and the throttle response is much better!

It's coupled to my 2.5" Scoobysport downpipe, but it works brilliantly!

I've also got the 'bung' to keep the noise down as well, but it may be a while before I actually use it!!

You'll hear me before you see me, and when you do see me, you'll see me grinning like an idiot!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Cheers
Andy

Very nice Mr Tang. How much louder and how much of an improvment is it?

Carl,

Give Branko at BRD a call, contact details at: http://www.brdevelopments.com

Tim,

It's louder, but in a nice way. I've heard some Blitz exhausts, and they sound 'raspy', the HKS gives a much nicer sound.

The Hiper is designed to take the most direct route out of the car, so the number of twists and turns have been minimised, inorder to aid flow.

The improvement can be compared to removing the front cat, although to a slightly lesser extent!! The difference is that noticeable, although it may just be my car!

Hope this helps
Andy

Cheers Andy

As I'm in the middle of some changes to my RB5 just wondered if it's worth the change from my SS system.

Andy, you really should consider a BPM downpipe too.

You have the best of the mid and back boxes, but are restricting it with the scoobysport downpipe which tapers (albeit smoothly) down to 2.5 inches at the join.

Get yourself a twin dump bpm,

I think R19KET was selling his.

Adam,

I'm toying with the idea of something a little different, we'll see if my bank manager gives me a kicking first!!!
