PPE / HKS SSM / Custom Mid Pipe In Progress

Indeed they did. I am a bit disappointed especially after driving for a couple of weeks now. The distinctive sound of the HKS system is significantly reduced. I am thinking of adding a couple of resonators in the 2.5" sections of the mid-pipe or maybe even high flow cats to see if that will do the trick. Open to suggestions here...

I got in on a group buy Figs had several months back. Send Mike a PM and he will hook you up. Great customer service also.
Not a bit. Chad said there were some issues with the instructions but they figured it out. Very clean install with no issues or CELs going on 3 weeks now.

Was wondering, did you custom build the mid pie because you were unable to find the hks? also I just ordered the hks rear only but cant find any videos to preview the sound do you have a video or can you tell me if it still had a pretty good sound reving the car? ALso can anyone lead me to were I can find the Midpipe???

Note - if you add headers be aware that it will completely change the sound of the HKS system. I decided to go back and add some resonators in the mid-pipe to get the pitch / tone back in line.

yeah I had my HKS SSM installed recently (axle only)
its too quiet.. looking at mid options.
found this on Yahoo Japan (88k yen + ship)
might get it - dont want ISS loud, just.. louder.

Get headers too. I just got PPE's installed & it made my Borla louder (sounds way better now). I think you'll find it to be perfectly enough. Especially if you have a custom mid pipe with high flow secondary cats.

it actually does sound really damn good I had all 4 windows down the other day and hit it a bit and was very impressed but it just needs a bit more volume to really bring the sound out (hence looking at mid)
very nice Jason re PPE.. tempting.. one day

its a bit louder at full accel / higher revs but during normal driving and cruising its quieter than the standard axle back.
