HKS Hi-Power Exhaust 75mm!

If your looking for a new exhaust consider an HKS High Power 75mm. For as long as I can remember I have been fond of HKS exhaust on anything, sound, and styling. However, for some reason I have never owned one, it was time. So I called up Evasive Motorsports to have one sent to me. Here are some impressions, $638.00 is a great value for price, try to follow along and keep in mind $638.00 (stainless steel construction) and not an (titanium) exhaust costing $1638.00. The box that arrived was packaged very well, opened the box up and immediately pulled everything out. What you will find is B pipe, axle back with muffler, adjustable tip, gaskets and hardware, added hanger,  decal, and instructions in English. Yes, instructions in English, there was no pictures but at least they contain step by step instructions (I know its an exhaust you don't need them but it is still nice). Welds, the welds are very nice where they need to be (the muffler) at the flanges the welds are fine as they well not break however don't plan on impressing anyone with a roll of dimes. Still good value for price. Fitment, this is great! Everything lines up perfectly! The muffler is quite large and exposed which I have always been a huge fan of. Power gains. I have not seen any dyno charts, so I am not going to say it adds any more or less, but I was running a J's Racing 70RR previously and I feel a torque gain in the midrange. Weight this is a heavy weight champion weighing in at 32 pounds, so if you feel as you need to drop every pound you can, I may shy away from this, keep in mind Evasive runs this same exhaust on there Time Attack S2000. Sound, this exhaust is becoming my favorite sounding S2000 exhaust, it carries the traditional HKS sound with it, its quiet on start up and city driving. At highway speeds the exhaust note is not intrusive, so you will still be able to carry on conversations in the car or listen to music. Wide open throttle this exhaust really screams but, if its back roads your driving on you still wont cause to many people to take notice of you. (This is what I was really shooting for.) Drone, you will find that on deceleration through mid-range that the exhaust is bassey falling with the RPM's, but you always like to be reminded you have an after market exhaust right?  So, all in all if you want a nice exhaust with great value for money and you like the above review, go ahead and pull the trigger on this exhaust. Don't forget to throw a test pipe in with your order!

  3. I agree,this is a great exhaust, that will have the right drone bit not too loud to overshadow the conversation in the car. It is very important that one gets stainless steel exhausts for quality and durability. See exhaust parts at Jeep Exhaust Kits.
