Hi, I have lexus HKS and wondering how it sounds like with the megan mid pipe on it. Does anyone have this set up? Just want a little bit of a louder growl at low end. Thanks

I'll assume that it will get louder and deeper with that set up
but it will get LOUDER~!
at least that what I got when I had Tanabe with Megan Midpipe

but uh..when you first installed,,you won't really hear the difference..
you just got to give it some time to settle..and you'll love it

can't find it on youtube also. It is only hks hi-power with tanabe.

Just wondering, What if I remove my resonator? Will it give it a louder sound at the low end? I just want a setup with a louder low end..

if you remove your resonator, then I believe you'll get a louder low end but
it will be freaking loud..I'd say it's tOO loud for our car IMO

any more info on this? i would imagine a small increase in hp with the megan midpipe since the exhast would be less restricted, but probly nothing noticible. i would really love to hear this setup with the Lexus HKS becuase i would def like a louder low end, like smokeyis350 said... it sounds great but i alweys find myself being heavier on the pedal in order to enjoy it lol
