Which style HKS muffler are you getting? I have a HKS Hiper exhaust system on my 96 ES300 and it sounds great!!!!!

I ended up just replacing my ypipe before the cat (thought i might have had to replace the muffler due to an exaust leak). The muffler i was going to have installed was the generic $249 hks muffler.

djuri -- do you have any pics of your exhaust that you could post? The hiper was the one i would have liked to get. My friend has a hiper setup on his 300zx, and its pretty damn cool.

Well I must say that i'm not to interested in what you think! Because apperentlly you have no idea!!!!!! That car with all the yellow stuff will WAX ANY ES300 on this forum!!!!!! That car is a NOS feed,full blown racing machine !!!!!! Now if you can't keep up with the changing times then you sure can't keep up with me!!!!
Don't hate my car cause it is beutiful!!!!!!!!

P.S. That pic is also a old one and there has been many more mods done since then!!!!!!!!!!

Heh, a turbo setup is pretty far down the road (a year or so). I'd like use a t3t4, i think the main pain will be getting a custom exhaust manifold.

Well for starters, I have been tunning on cars way before they ever even thought of making tha Fast & tha Furious!!!!! Second of all, tha judges at all tha car shows apperentlly seem to really like my car considering that I have won several trophies!!!!!! And I can't help that you seem to be all high and mighty with your STOCK ES300!!!!! That just makes me realize even more that you have NO CLUE as to what a good tuner car is!!!!!!! So when ever you get a CLUE or a CAR,then you can TRY to talk to me like you have some kind of an idea as to what you are talking about!!!!!!

Prove your point, then -- what have you done to your car that makes you so superior to others in this forum? I'm not trying to start anything, but your last post just made you look stupid.

what's the point of having that big *** (ugly IMO) wing in the back if the car is a forward wheel drive car?
