What I think is that you're exaggerating the "big big" power difference, largely due to the increase in sound... no exhaust, even a custom full illegal exhaust, adds more than 10-15 hp... so about 4-5% gain.

If you like the sound then great, but I think you'll be a little underwhelmed when you dyno it

uh,,,why does it sound like that at IDLE???
and it doesn't really sound that LOUD,,,,I've heard HKS HiPower in person,,been in the car while rolling, and it sounded much DEEPER and louder than your setup...hm....I guess it's due to the video quality??

anyways, I hope you dyno the car to show us what you GAINed through your true dual

its not that loud, but its louder than it being axle back, and at higher RPM its not droony, you can hear the exhaust throughout the power band..

the HKS hi-power set-up you heard was most likely an axle-back set-up.

the OP's HKS hi-power set-up includes custom-fabbed individual midpipes w/out resonators... at least that's what the youtube vid showed.

yeah i know,,,and that's why I thought it would be a lot louder and maybe deeper than the original axle-back set up..but I guess I was wrong..

Something is wrong with that IDLE video....

Get some better sound clips...

Good job on the new setup, but I want to hear it

My HKS HIpower is super deep loud, intense cabin noise. Somewhat a bit to me for regular driving, am buying some silencers to aid in reducing the cabin noise.
