HKS Spec-L II
Finally installed it. It sounds SO much better than any video I've seen. Way deeper tone and no droning. It's on the pricier side but imo its 100% worth it.

If I could go back in time, I would’ve gotten this instead of my HKS Legamax Premium axelback, Which is way too quiet.

Congrats.

Took off the bags and installed the Fortune Auto coils and new wheels.

Not done, going to raise it a little bit and get rear caster arms so I can center the wheel more and remove some of that camber.

Installed the SYMS Racing Team oil pan, install went smoothly and I didn't really have any RTV in the pickup after cleaning it out a year ago or so.

Their instructions were pretty good, once translated to English:

LII gang! Agree it's worth it. Sounds nice and deep at low rpms. Wish it were 2-3db louder at higher rpms (or that the regular L has swappable tips too) but easy fitment and no drone. No major complaints from me

New wheels/tires and a nice wash.

I put a Gen One Spec L on. Love it. Love love love it!

One side sags an inch or tow lower than the other, I have to fix that.

What makes you get a baffle if i may ask? Oil pressure issue? And why that particular baffle?

Just risk aversion. The SYMS baffle is popular in the 86 Cup in Japan, they were blowing up engines, swapped to the SYMS baffled pan and the issues went away. Anecdotal evidence for sure, but I figured it was a year since I dropped the pan the first time, it was a good time to check the pickup again.

Well that's interesting.

Installed the HKS Legamax Premium axleback. Sweet like sugar! Sounds “expensive” and properly tuned with looks to kill.

JFC a 48 minute long video?

OkieSnuffBox · 08-21-2023, 01:54 PM

I forgot to post, weekend before last I had the full OEM Audio+ kit installed in the '23. Is it expensive for what it is? Yes, but I wanted full factory integration with correct harness ends, etc. Does it sound pretty damn good? Yes, it does. Installer said he'd like more sub, but I think it's more than enough, I'm not trying to rattle the trunk.

I also had them put some sound deadening under the rear seats and in the trunk. And had him put the stereo sub volume level underneath the HVAC controls as I didn't want it in the glove box, or two-sided tape underneath the the steering column or something.
