mine has random pops on downshifts. i love it. i cant see myself getting anything else unless i want to go single exit in the future. very subtle and i get tons of compliments on it

Do you have any videos/recordings you can share?

What are you getting instead?

Yeah it was real bummer... I loved the way it sounded overall. But now I don't know what to do with the track conversion kit. I quickly got rid of the box to make room in our garage. Now I'm trying to find anyone close by who may want it.

I still have the HKS Spec L on order that I never cancelled. It's the only other one I've liked so far. I'm not sure what method they used to measure dB but it's supposed to be about 89, so hopefully not too bad in person. Especially with drone, if any, but I have sound deadening in the back so maybe that will help me.

anyone put a gen 1 HKS on their Gen 2?

Any issues? Hows the sound

Here's a vid of the Remark Elite Spec catback I put on this past weekend. So far I really like it. It's got a low, somewhat scooped tone to it that is really satisfying and surprisingly isn't really all that loud from inside the car. There is some drone right at 3k rpm, but above or below that and it's actually quite mellow. Cold starts are fairly loud and percussive, but once the engine settles down the idle's not all that different from stock. Highway speeds are no problem and it's not intrusive at all. Anyway, the vid covers most everything sound-wise, so have a look.

seems perfect, I checked with Evasive Motorsports they said it's on heavy backorder, probably til end of year.

AWE looks amazing until I found out the touring is 96dB loud. Explains why it sounds really good lol.

Speaking of HKS Legamax, it ticks all the boxes but it only comes with Ti tips, which look stupid on a red car. Greddy’s new axleback is the same deal.

CSG’s touring86 exhaust looks good but I’ve read it’s really quiet with stock everything else, also not wild about the single wall tips.

Last gen Greddy SP is a contender, ticks all the boxes for me. Full size angled muffler for aero, double wall tips, not too quiet/loud

I'd suggest the APEXI N1-X Evolution Extreme, but I just wish they would give it bigger tips to compliment the fat muffler piping behind the exit. Everything else about it is just dead sexy and I love the low tone.

Sounds good, but those tips look so tiny in the bumper.

The MXP SP sits a bit to high in the cutout, and I picked up a couple adjustable hangers a while back. I've been meaning to install to see if it helps. Finally got it done yesterday and I think it looks much better.

I think I'm in agreement with most here that the single wall tips aren't the best look out there, might look into swapping tips on my CSG Touring.

As to the CSG's volume, I could definitely do with more, if not for the cold starts when I head to work at 5am.

My Invidia R400 finally came! Originally ordered the stainless steel tip version, but that is backordered until the end of summer. Oscar from 86speed gave me a great deal on a titanium tip they had in stock, those guys are awesome! Minor alignment issues but overall extremely happy with the result! Anyways here’s a few quick revs. Hopefully I’ll get better videos later.

I received the HKS Spec L exhaust a week or so ago. Just got it installed this afternoon. Sounded pretty good, I'm really happy with it! I haven't done a video inside yet but hopefully I remember to do so soon. There wasn't any drone when the windows were closed and I think there was slight drone windows down... I didn't get to drive much today though but I'll report back after some time if anyone's curious.


Oh yeah, one of the tips arrived slightly bent so I'll try to see if i can get that replaced somehow.

Thanks for sharing!
