Sexy as heck, especially at the 36 second mark:

You can have the same sound (and power) for 18g dollars, plus 22 hours labor. Lol.

Any power numbers?

Sure, that'd double my car's cost, to me, but man...I could go for a three digit horsepower number starting with a '5'.

Oh, wait...transmission...and driveshaft...and axles....

according to the HKS website, the unit is good for about an extra 125 hp and same for torque. So just a tad over 500 hp.

Found one going for ~$13K new when I was looking around a few months back, still too rich for my blood, especially since the gain is minimal for the money spent.

Indeed....and the HKS website says 22 hours for install!

My initial thoughts as well, plus a few other components. I would be concerned about reliability and the car's ability to handle well under that kind of HP.

Just because it's crazy expensive and not really worth it for the gain in performance, it's still cool as crap... A one shot deal from going from 380 to almost 500 hp is cool anyway about it, even though $13K with 22 hours install, about $2800 for the install (a little $125 a hour range)

So about $16K or so you could have it.... too rich for my blood for a "add-on"

If my car were newer and I'd be driving it for many more years, I'd seriously consider it. The HKS stuff is quality and they're an established company. I wouldn't be concerned with how well the engine or drive train could handle it. The engines and trans are reliable and I doubt that 100+ hp would be detrimental.

I see that member Brianlin87 has it installed in his car on another post about 600h headlights.

That's a conservative boost. 50% more would be 190HP. ....just saying. Maybe I'm looking at crank spec vs. rear wheel spec?

I'm already in enough trouble since the lack of a digital speedometer in my new LS is something I'm not used to and I ignore the analog dial (it just doesn't register in my brain) so I have no idea how fast I'm going now.
