HKS or Invidia exhaust?

Elusive8S2k · 01-13-2007, 09:20 AM

Which of the 2 are better? I don't really want LOUD but a good, nice rumble out of my car. Already have the Injen intake so now looking at exhaust. Anyone have either of these 2 exhaust and what are your impressions of them? Thanks.

i've seen and heard both of them in person both are very nice the HKS isnt as loud and it doesnt have the N1 style mufflers.Invidia's newest exhaust has Ti. tips and N1 style mufflers.Both are about the same price with in 150 bucks.I ended up spending a bit more and just ordered the J's Racing 70RR Full Ti. system blue tip single outlet.It is super loud (150db)but i didnt care i, was looking for more performace out of it than anything.

Both are loud exhausts, but the Invidia has a terrible drone at freeway speeds.

If I had to pick between the two, I would go with HKS. But I don't think you will gain any power from either of them.

Alright, thanks guys. It really doesn't bother me if I just get about 2-3 extra hp total out of the exhaust. I was looking mainly for a more appropriate sound out of this baby

I've never heard the HKS, but I have come to love the sound out of the Invidia. I also have the Injen intake (that I'm not real happy with) and I love the sound in VTEC. But I'm with you the car needs to have a little more sound out the back!

Spa, tell me.......why are you unhappy with the Injen intake? It's the same one I've used on my other cars, my 04 Accord and now my 03 S2k. I love the sound of it when you get on it haha. I'm even getting slightly better gas mileage.

The car does seem to have better throttle response with it on, but when the car engages VTEC, it doesn't seem to have the effect (set you back in the seat feel) it used to. I'm not completely unhappy with it (or else I would taken it off), I do love the sound and the cleaner look under the hood.
