Hi, my current exhaust HKS Hi-Power hangs very low, and has been known to scrape on my drive when going on/off off it.

I have now taken some pics underneath so you can see what i mean.

What i would like if anyone could be bothered, is if anyone with a different exhaust (Buddy Club, DC Sports, Spoon etc...) could take pictures of their car underneath so i can compare how low they hang.

Im probably going to need a new exhaust that doesnt rub, and i dont want to buy another only to find its exactly the same!!

Wierd Dong ---



Hanging low ---





I know its a pain crawling round on the floor to take pics, but if anyone could do so for me it would be a great help.

Thanks guys!!

My Fujitsubo hangs pretty low as well, namely I've managed to crack it. I'll take some piccies after work.

I've just bought a HKS system, so don't tell me bad things, lol :D

Poor images, sorry couldn't find the cable for the proper digi cam.

You kind of get the idea though.

I have the HKS hi power too......but I like it so I'll just put up with driving slowly (and slightly off center) over speed humps.

Not much choice though - have spoon progressivs on too - a touch low :lol:

do you not find the HKS a tad quiet, after hearing DC5TU spoon N1 im not sure i could live with a car that loud, but i do find the HKS too quiet, a happy medium on volume that sits a bit higher would be nice!!!

Mine is comined with a Toda Mani, so it's not too quiet at all - but it's no where near the level of the Spoon. Stu has the Toda mani too iirc, so that Spoon will sounds really loud compared to just the back box/cat back option.

Are you looking for a Cat back or just back box with a bit of nice noise? If you are thinking of going the manifold route I'd seriously consider keepingthe HKS - you are more than welcome to have a listen to mine, I'm local to Berkshire :D

that sounds good, yeah stu's had the toda manifold aswell and i realised that will make a difference but unsure how much.

I was looking for a CAT Back system, but if a toda mani will brighten up the noise a bit maybe i could live with what i have and get that! Would the manifold not cause fueling issues tho from what i have read?

But yeah a listen sometime to compare the difference between std mani and toda would be great.
