Ha-ha I'll tell you guys how it sounds in another couple weeks.

 

HKS HIPER $415 Shipped!!! Excellent increase in horsepower and you cant beat the price (9 hp gain)

 

Listen BMWg84.... I work for a BMW dealership in NJ as a Customer Service Rep./Evening Coordinater but I'm a proud Lexus IS300 owner. I just got the car but love every minute driving it. For a little more money than the IS I could have gotten a 2002 325. The 325 is pushin 184 hp where the Lex is pushin a nice 215hp. Dont get me wrong though BMWs are the s*it and I own two 2001s, but the Lex got the 325 pinned to the ground. I know this caused I raced my co-worker's 2001 325 with an intake where mine was bone stock. So cool-out with the Lexus jokes cause I work for a dealership and see the P.O.S.s that bimmers become after a few years. (....by the way, what kinda bimmer do you have)

 

if you are planning on going turbo....you can get the TBKO exhaust...its 3 inch piping...

 

HKS Hiper is great and it does not scrape on a stock car. Well not where i live at least.

 

Ive noticed good gains with the tanabe RM over HKS dragger II

 

Ok, so we have a disgruntled BMW guy out there somewhere. You know, I used to be of the BMW persuasion, and there was a time I was almost as arrogant as him. But, if you want my opinion of an exhaust system, check out Stillen. Basically my whole car was built by Stillen, and the exhaust is awesome. It sounds terrific when you push it, but if you're just idling or cruising, it's relatively unobtrusive. Also, it adds 12 horses at the wheels. Another thing of beauty, is the subtle way it looks. It doesn't look like the stereotypical "trashcan" hanging off the back of a Japanese car. It's larger than stock, and polished stainless, but it's subtle. Very classy. www.stillen.com or you can check out my car in the photo album under Irish, there are front and rear shots. Another thing too, at least in Stillenland, the HKS is considerably more expensive.
