Yes, HKS Ti 4", picking it up on the trip to Houston.
I've been wanting to hear the HKS Ti. I didn't realize there was a difference between the Carbon Ti and the HKS Ti

Your car seems to get better and better each time you get new wheels. Do your front tires rub a lot? I didn't realize that you had 285's up front?

One of the cleanest cars on here for sure! That HKS is going to be sick, but are you going to fill the extra hole in the bumper?

I liked the way the car looked with both sets, gave two opposing appearances. One being clean and the other all about business.

Haha, I'll surely get flamed for throwing rotary in an SC. Good horsepower but very little torque from those motors. SC's need a lot of torque to get moving, lol.

Very nice, i liked the sp1's better for some reason. But nice non the less!
Hopefully it starts catching on soon, a lot of people thought I went missing.

I'm glad as well, bought the car with them and couldn't give rid of them quick enough. Took me about 18 months before I switched to the Professors and those only lasted about 2 - 3 months. Hopefully the Classics stay on a bit longer.

Yea man there's a difference. The Ti is the real deal. First time I heard it, I feel in love. The HKS Ti 4" is the best sounding exhaust made for the 2J in my book.

The fronts do rub occasionally on the rough stuff.

Thanks!
I'll be fabricating a fiberglass filler for the bumper to hold me out till I get bodywork done. IMO, I think a filler is necessary when going single exhaust; that, or source a single out bumper.

Do you have any rubbing issues with the 315's? Those ccw's sure look nice on your car.

^, No rubbing whatsoever. My rear fenders are aggressively cut though, only about 2mm of lip left.

I was hoping that you only had to roll the fenders to fit that much tire. I guess I'll just try to fit some 295's then. Keep up the nice work

I love you car man. Those CCWs are looking hot. My two favorite wheels of all time are the CCW Classics and the Meisters.

Damn! In for pics, your car looks SO good with the CCW's, did you buy your headlights like that or pop them apart?

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Exhaust has been put on hold, it was mocked up and turns out it needs to be extended at the muffler end as well. Haven't had much time to fabricate quite yet. Temporarily mounted and fired the car up, the exhaust sounds great for being on a stock motor with no bolt-ons. The was no load, just free revving in park.
