I was looking at buying a new exhaust (I currently have the HKS SSM axel back from the previous owner), I was originally going to go with the JoeZ based on everyone's feedback on the system, but then I heard some clips of the H&S and thought that was the type of sound I really liked for the car. In my search of the forum, I saw a few threads about the H&S system, but they were from a couple of years ago. I want to see what people's experiences with the H&S system has been after a few years of ownership. What are some pros and cons? How is the fitment? I'm probably in the minority, but I like how the OEM setup of the exhaust tips look, and I wouldn't want that to change that at all. Any insight on the system would be greatly appreciated.

Bought mine from Meraki about a year ago. Expensive but exotic sound, reminds me of the C63 AMG growl everytime I mash the gas.

Fitment on the other hand was less ideal then expected. Mine was too long on one side and the right muffler would make contact with my tips at certain rpms. Had to make some cutting modifications to stop the contact. It was a royal pain trying to install as well. The clamps are thin and cheap. I had to go buy 4 wider and better built clamps but I'm still getting some small exhaust leaks here and there. Been to my local shop twice now removing the exhaust and changing clamps. At this point I'm considering welding the pipes at the connections because the "hissing" is annoying to me.

I too have the Hayward & Scott exhaust. First experience with a slip fit style exhaust instead of flanges and bolts. I had a big problem with exhaust leaks at the slip joints and trying wider clamp didn't really help me. Ended up welding most of the joints where the welding gun was able to reach.

The passenger side muffler tended to rattle the oem exhaust tips so had to modify the metal a bit.

Why so many exhaust problems from high end companies?

Guys, we are literally finishing up our new Valvetronic Bazooka exhaust, it wont disappoint I promise, and definitely worth the wait!

Picture above is the RCF Valvetronic Bazooka, but we should have an ISF Valvetronic axle back complete by July. The axle-back can be purchased alone (to fit the Borla exhaust) or as a complete system.

Thanks for everyone's input. For those with the H&S, did you utilize the stock OEM tips?

Yes. It also comes with optional exhaust tips extenders that slip onto the muffler tips.

Have had mine on for a little over a year now and love it. Used the tips that came with but blacked them out since they were too "bling" for my dark car (SGM). Only issue was having to tighten everything up after a few months which caused a pretty awful rattle (that's on the installer not the product). Get a lot of thumbs up and compliments on the sound.
