HKS also released their Hipermax (S & R) Coilovers for the RZ34.

Definitely the best sounding exhaust in the aftermarket so far. However, is it worth $3400? Ehhh.

Sounds pretty incredible though. Very clean, no rasp.

Wow $3400usd? Definitely love the exhaust tho

I have a HKS dual muffler exhaust on the way, hopefully will be here in 2-3 weeks. Very expensive but I love the sound and happy to spend money on quality parts. For the price it's a bit annoying the sound modes have to be adjusted manually but can't wait to get it installed.

My exhaust has arrived but I can't get it installed til the 18th. Can't wait and will report back.

Curious to see what the differences are between this and the fast intentions exhaust. The two sound very similar based on the video I uploaded.

My exhaust installation has been delayed. It turns out it was the Super Turbo version and not the Dual Muffler version that's arrived at their workshop. Apparently the Dual Muffler is in the country but no idea when it will clear customs etc

Getting the Dual muffler version installed tomorrow. Cannot wait.

Post clips, curious to hear the exhaust note. Still debating on selling my FI catback for one.

I've had the Dual muffler installed this morning. Very happy with it so far with limited driving. Just enough loudness and a nice tone with zero drone. The exhaust is engineered brilliantly and attention to detail spot on (as it should be for the price).

Laid out ready to go:

The stock pipe next the HKS showing how tiny stock is.

Installed with caps on:

Quality is top notch. The tips can be adjusted to slide in or stick out. I prefer them to sit more flush:

Stock exhaust (cold start):

With the caps on (sorry I missed the start up):

One cap on, one cap off:

Both caps off:

Another with both caps off at home. Here, I learnt the car has a 5000rpm soft limiter.

The guy at the workshop filmed a driveby as I was leaving. I'll post that up once they share it on their socials.

I think I'll be leaving the caps off for now. I wasn't after anything too obnoxious and this is the perfect amount of volume with a nice tone. Later on, if I get LDPs, the caps would probably need to go back on.

Sounds much better with the caps off Forsure. I’m sure it sounds even better in cabin driving. Nice color btw
That was the one I originally wanted

Definitely. I used to drive around in sport mode, even in traffic with clunky gear changes, just to hear some noise in the cabin. Now I can actually hear what's going on with the engine. I don't think the phone recording really does it complete justice either. It's a nice deep and refined tone. Worth the extra couple of $k over other systems though? Not sure!
