I am sure it will fit, the only changes they made were some very minor body adjustments

You won't get anything from it.

^actually, hks says that you'll get better performance out of their rear section with mods to the complete exhaust using the stock b-pipe and doing something with the stock resinator....i've done it to mine and all i have to say, is that it's really falking loud!!!!

Get the HKS rear section and bolt it on, then go to a muffler shop and get 2.25 inch custom piping for the rest of the OEM piping. You can get a resonator if you want to, just see how it sounds without one, and if it is too loud or whinny, go back and get a resonator welded in.

I have it on my car. Low, deep tone. VERY quiet. Sometimes I think my stock engine is louder, lol. Anyway, do a serach on the board, someone has a sound clip of it on here with stock piping.

Personally, for $150 more, you can get a full catback. Thats what I would do. $315 for just a axle back sounds like too much IMO.

I would get a catback but I'm worried about scraping the hell out of my midpipe now that I'm low. Thats the only reason I just want an axle back.

thats true, but at least HKS is quality. Spend a lil more and get a product thats backed up by a lot of R&D. I was going to go to the junk yard and just get a cat-back put on for like 150-200$. Instead, I got the rear section and im very happy with it. Plus, i only paid 175$ picked up for it brand new, in box .

if your really low to the ground, u can scrape with your HKS as well due to the bent piping. If you just want a rear section that doesnt dip down like the HKS, i suggest thermal r&d. I think the member gearbox is selling his thermal rear section.

I am not understanding!!! Are you saying that buying a full catback isnt quality? Not everyone can get the HKS for $175. I am just saying that spend a bit more, and get the whole catback as aposed to spending 3/4 the amount and getting just the rear.

thats usually only if you have a body kit or lip kit. You just have to make sure it doesnt touch the bumper. Sometimes you have to modify it.
