HKS Legamax Premium

Anyone have any pictures of or reviews of the HKS Legamax Premium exhaust installed?

I like the looks of the large tips looking at the rear of the car and from underneath like most of the online stock photos show. I think what is most appealing to me is the OEM shaped muffler but polished. What about the tips from an angle, I can see the exhaust tips looking somewhat out of place even though they fill the bumper opening from the rear. Ive found it hard to find photos of the car from the side?

Also it appears to be fairly quiet from Youtube videos.. Any reviews of this would be nice.

Im strongly considering this exhaust or maybe the HKS Legamax Sports. Im planning to stay in the HKS family for exhaust, however Im looking to stay as quiet on street and freeway.

Thanks

Yes is probably one of the quietest catbacks, similar to invida Q300 is noise level

I have catless header and overpipe stock front pipe. No drone quiet on highway, nice sound at wide open throttle.

Its high quality stainless not tarnished at all after 2 years (i do clean it though)

you could probably get the Q300 cheaper but the hks is better quality but you do pay a premium price for it.

I use HKS Legamax Sports :

it's sound make me so happy but if you like louder sound HKS is not too load.
It's sound is more beautiful.
Legamax sports will fit both brz and frs and you should cut some area before fitting the Bumper Garnish.
bumper is included in the kit.

after installing HKS the sound will increase after 500km and in my idea the sound in room is good and no need to be more.

Car is NA
run petrol and E85
its been on car since first day now so 2.5 years old
no issues still shiny but i do wash under car, and we dont have salt on roads or ice\snow
sound is quite deep
have uel catless header and overpipe but Stock front pipe

i did put on a hi flow catted front pipe for a couple of days but it was too loud for me , i like quiet

its probably one of the quitest catback arroud though
almost no catback but stock one is quiet with catless header and hiflow or catless front pipe.

an invida q300 would be similar for less cost
