HKS ES Premium Mufflers for 3.0R system

I got these off Yahoo japan for 450AU single bid and won. shipping was another 250 because of retarded box size but i think its worth it (or mebe cos im brand whore)

Inlet is 2.5" straight through and tips are 4.5" with burnt titanium tip look. material is polished Stainless Steel. everything bolts up and fits in without a problem as expected from HKS.

the sound from the rear is a nice rumble but not loud and droney even when engine is on load (77db free rev idle)

im unlikely to go further with the rest of the exhaust at this point in time as i think gains are negible and im quite happy with drone-less driving. ill come back to this when i gets my handleing mods / rims /asthetics done. then get a v-tune and sees hows it is from there and besides these just look awesome (even betten i can dump the car ;))

It looks really nice. Very similar to the STi Genome mufflers.

As in, how are you going to get a V-tune? :P
His point is that Vin no longer works at STi Docklands.

nice nice sound.
still the only thing that annoys me about the 3.0r spec b is the intake whine. It's not quite a roarrr but it still drowns out the exhaust a bit. just my opinion though.
still a great sounding exhaust mate :)

i thought it was the sound from the chain timing belt lol. but whatever it is i agree, it muzzles the sound.

Phat doesn't do second hand/yahoo japan. Streeter or import monster is your best bet
