Thanks guys, how loud would you say the HKS exhaust is compared to stock with stock DP ? I m worried if it might be too quiet.
@Timmy_Jones, since you had both. Is the AWE significantly louder than the HKS ?
Appreciate all the help.
Thanks for the write up. I have a few follow-ups.
1.'How did you fix the valve ?
2. Does your left side exhaust tip sit lower than the right one ? I have heard that it doesn't align well.
3. How would you describe the tone ?
Appreciate your response.
Hey, I'm currently picking between the two. Do you believe it's worth losing the valve for the AWE resonated with stock DP ? I daily the car and feel like I will miss the valve and HKS seems like a decent option though it may be too quiet. I wonder why you took it off so quick.
Are you selling your car ? I can't buy the exhaust since I live in Canada, east coast. How was your experience with the ARK ? I'm looking to pair a deep sounding valved exhaust with the stock DP.
Okay cool, I would love to put the AA downpipe but I don't wanna void my warranty just yet. Just got the car last year and its my first car. I have heard that even with high flow catted DPs, sometimes there is CEL.
Thanks, that sounds fun with catless DP but I'm planning to stay stock DP for a while. I'm considering the HKS and ARK DT-S as the only valved options. The tips on ARK look way better than HKS but it isn't as popular for some reason. Haven't been able to find many videos on it.
I know its been a while since last post but may I ask what did you end up getting ? I'm in the same boat, I like the growl from AWE but I feel like I'll miss the valve so should go for HKS instead.
