HKS Hi-Power Axle-Back Exhaust

Power: 3 Little to no HP gain (big surprise)
Sound: 9 Great deep, low pitched sound, much quieter and subtle
Look: 7 Angled look is a drawback to some, not me
Install Ease: 10 Simple bolt on at the axle back, 2 bolts
Price: 8 Much cheaper than full cat-backs (339 shipped truehonda.com)
Fitment: Sedans AND Coupes





Great exhaust for this car IMO... nice low pitched tone at low RPM's and sounds amazing at high RPM's w/ 0 raspiness. Since the d17 doesn't really care for bolt ons, not much power gain can be achieved w/ exhausts, so the HKS does the job! Hit up Eddie at www.truehonda.com and he will give you a great price

Post additional comments if you got em'

(part num: HKS-3203-EX025)

Re: HKS Hi-Power Axle-Back Exhaust

Good review. I have the same exhaust and what I like the most about it is that it does not sound too loud.

YouTube - HKS hi-power
If you are able to see this message it means that you don't have flash installed or that the video server is down.
There's a few on youtube.. but I think this one sounds the most accurate (stock header n' downpipe)

Re: HKS Hi-Power Axle-Back Exhaust

This is a great exhaust, i have it and love it. I think they should have back it a catback instead of just the rear section though.
