Default Fabulous exhaust?

http://www.l-tunedparts.com/photos/2078/1.dat?


What about this system? I did a search and didn't see much mention of it. I want to purchase an exhaust system and don't care about the Dyno numbers. I do care very much about how it sounds and looks. From this picture, the oval tips look pretty nice to me. Kinda match the shape of the Lexus eclipse.

I just had not heard or seen it mentioned in the other exhaust related threads.

It's a very nice exhaust. It won't add more than 5whp, but if you don't care about HP this is probably the one for you. It's got the looks, plus the tips are on sliders so they can be extended or pushed in to suite your tastes. Very VIP.

Yeah, you are pretty much paying for the name and the over-the-top VIP styling.

I think Tanabe looks way better for way less. Not to mention Tanabe is tried and true.

According to an independent dyno, the LMS makes 9.1rwhp and 12.8lbs/tq. Ok I guess. But if the HKS claims of 10rwhp are true, I'd rather have that one, more rwhp and still smog legal However, on the HKS announcement it just says "dyno's to be posted soon". It's been several weeks now so I don't understand what is the hold up with posting the dyno results, hopefully the 10rwhp isn't just advertisement.
Check out the LMS dyno

Not only is hp and tq gains minimal, but from what I've seen the LMS exhaust doesn't install easily and it may or may not have fitment issues. Also the sound and looks are something else to consider with this exhaust. He ended up with 263hp and 236tq on the dynojet which is close to where I am now power wise. I know that all dyno's are slightly different etc, but it just doesn't drawl me in to spend that much money.

My guess is that unless the HKS eliminates all but the pre-cats (like the LMS) it will never produce the same amount of power. If it did, great, I would jump on it too. For now I'm waiting on the LMS.

Any links to the HKS system you're talking about?
