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'

Re: HKS Hi-Power Axle-Back Exhaust
i love mine. the only downside ive found that cars that are really low (like mine lol) the can tends to hit on the highway on larger bumps. other than that i love it!
Re: HKS Hi-Power Axle-Back Exhaust
