Not really, unless it's obnoxiously loud. Usually cops don't care, unless they pulled you over for something else, then they may cite you for loud exhaust. But it's unlikely.

Technically ... yea. Because you are removing/replacing your stock and working emissions control parts ... (Secondary cats).

I wonder if HKS price would go up since they left us..
Well they are almost the same thing. The F-Sport is slightly louder...

in my personal opinion I think the invidia makes the rasp come out alot idk if any other CL member agrees, I have the HKS Hi-Power myself and love it, deep rich sound with no rasp but only downside is the highway drone but maybe it could change if I got some silencers :P

Drone:


Jk. It's a monotonous noise in the cabin while at a certain speed. Just imagine a really long uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh while you're on the freeway. That's kinda what an exhaust drone is

HAHAHA .... I literally tried saying that out loud in a deep voice and just started laughing!!!!

Basically its when you continuously hear the exhaust when cruising. An example of a setup that drones: F-Sport + Invidia mid pipe. That is a pretty loud setup. (IMO of course!)

LOL!! I was laughing pretty hard - both at the "drone" and the "uhhhh." Yes, I did play starcraft was pretty good at big game hunter ...

Is the drone (HKS Hi Power specifically) loud enough where you have trouble talking inside the car/listening to music, etc? If that's the case I probably want to stay away from exhausts that are known to drone .. (HKS Hi Power) ...
