^ Thanks for the pointer, I forgot to consider that option

Looks like the next meet won't be till late January . . I guess until then I'll see if anyone's interested to buy it off of me

Now I don't have an F-Sport but I definitely love the HKS Hi-Power I got. I hear it at all times. Yes, it is louder than an F-Sport but still not loud enough for my taste. I hear the exhaust from 1500 to 3000 RPMs very well. At cruising speeds, it's quieter. You should definitely keep it, my exhaust is among my most favorite mods on my car along with the LED dash swap I did.

Keep it and install. If you don't like it, you can still sell it for 95% what you bought it for.

Yeah I thought about switching to HKS, but that can only happen after I sell my F sport =/ Jealous of your exhaust ! Btw do you have a pic of your LED dash ? How much was it?

Really? 95% of the price seems a bit high for an used exhaust

It's not like the exhaust is a wear and tear item.

Well, I honestly always wanted an F-Sport but could never afford it. I was going to do a custom quad exhaust but the local CL member I bought my Invidia Midpipe was offering to sell me the HKS Hi-Power for $50 plus my stock and he'll install it. I couldn't turn down a deal like that and I gave him $100 since he installed it too. My dash LED swap was just changing all the green LEDs to white and blue. No pictures right now but I do have an old one of my gauge. I did the swap myself.

Wow that is such a great deal! More jealous now Happy for you tho Dash looks great! If I ever get some extra cash I might do that some day .. However, if F sport + invidia midpipe is already super loud, wouldnt HKS + Invidia midpipe insanely loud ? I'm also interested in an invidia midpipe myself..

Hehe true, but I haven't read any reviews on the F sport exhaust being too loud, only HKS Correct me if I'm wrong

there were only a few selected posts that talked about fsport being too loud or a bit of cabin drone at low rpms. Fsport + invidia midpipe on the other hand...

If you put it on for 50-100 miles and decide you hate it, I'd like to see the low baller that would try ripping you off on it.

I'll give him $500 for it. $525 if he cleans it after he uses it. Jk. I agree you could sell it for almost what you paid for it and someone will get it.

You picked a bad time to post it, right after Christmas when some people need to pay off their credit card bills.
