Give Loule all the credit.He found the Blitz and the HKS.

But i want to know what you guys think.
Now that the HKS is available.
We have seen the Blitz,but how does the HKS look like.
I do not think Blitz is Greddy because how come Greddy's Usa site does no have a LS exhuast.

The 3rd option is straight pipe which i might do,cheaper and more HP or HKS.

Let me have you guys's opinion.

HKS doesn't sell any parts for the LS400. they do make a few things for the celsior, such as exhaust, but it is not a direct bolt on. modification will be necessary, if you can even find a way to get it here!

*blitz and greddy are two totally different companies.

greddy however is the mother company for trust, gracer, and cusco.

I'll save Loule some time. Read this thread about the HKS exhaust.

Edogg, I know you want a few extra HP with the straight pipes but it's going to be REAL F#CK!N& LOUD. I don't think it's worth it. If money is a concern then just keep the stock exhaust and get some chrome tips to fit the kit your getting. At www.carparts.com they have about a zillion different tips. I want an aftermarket exhaust too but I'm not willing to sound like a 69 camaro SS for a few ponies. With Mo working on an intake you can make up the HP there. Just my opinion.

Zushwa i do not think the LS with striaght pipe would be that loud,my a pretty good grunt.Man nothing is louder than those four bangers and they only have cat backs,imagine if four bangers would striaght pipe theirs.

This is the HKS.


They are both straight bolt ons catbacks, no mod required.
Let me find out the Greddy if they have one.
As for HP, the HKS and Blitz should be around the same.
About 10 HP.
The Borla is about the same HP but I don't like the borla look and besides borla is for more Domestic cars then Imports.

Not really.
Not untill you get it inspected or they pull you over and actually look under your car.

I really don't know.
I don't know if you straight pipe it, it will be loud enough for the cops to pull you over.
My car is really $#@% loud and the cops look but don't really care so far.
I'm pretty sure I am louder then the straight piping since you will have some kind of exhaust to muffle the noise unlike me.
