supra_surj Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hi guys im thinking getting the above exhaust. Does anyone know how loud it is? Ive heard the HKS Ti and that is loud. Also ive been told the old HKS Hiper exhaust was also loud but what are your thoughts on this? Surj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSupra Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I get confused with all the different HKS models if I'm honest, all I know is that I have an HKS Hi-Power with a full decat on my N/A and it sounds awesome! A couple of guys on here will vouch for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macer Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Do you mean the Silent HiPower? I've got one fitted, with a full decat and think it sounds great... It sounds good under power but doesn't drone when your on the motorway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Its the loudest of the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3xt3r Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 If you want power and silent go for the Tanabe Touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 There's 4 HKS models I can think of: HKS Ti Racing: Very loud HKS Hiper: Very loud (but no longer made) HKS Superdragger: Fairly quiet HKS Silent Hipower: Quiestest of all (Chris Wilson loves them as they're great for trackdays) My all time favourite exhaust is the old Hiper, nothing else sounds like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surj hi mate, i think i've seen you up bluewater before. i know pistonbroke goes up there every now and again.

supra_surj Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 HI guys thanks soo much for all your replies. I have done searches on this and some say its loud and some say its quiet so im a little confused. Hey Lubas im always up bluewater, which supe is yours mate? Yea i know Dan but his on his honeymoon i think. lol! I have an apexi but i dont know what model as it came from Japan like it. Very quiet. Got a huge silencer and another silencer box before the cat. If I bought this, what would i need to decat just one cat? Will just a decat pipe and restrictor ring do? Wish i could get the old hiper but dam they dont make em anymore! What is the world coming to! hehe! Thanks Surj Ps Hi Martin ive heard the clip on your website and sounds amazing but like i said i kept getting confused as some were saying loud and others saying quiet.

Homer Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 HI guys thanks soo much for all your replies. I have done searches on this and some say its loud and some say its quiet so im a little confused. Just to be 100% clear, what exhaust are you talking about exactly? I read your posts but its not clear if you're asking for opinions on the HKS TI or the HKS Silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyhannah Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 ive just fitted mine today. and it sounds lovely. mines a ti racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 If you're talking about the Hiper Silence then i've got one on a decatted JDM, not much louder than stock but gives a nice growl. I prefer it over a Nur Spec but i'm gettin my old exhaust back on Weds, Hiper will be up for sale but someone already wants it i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hiper will be up for sale but someone already wants it i think Is that the 'old' Hiper? The really noisy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Is that the 'old' Hiper? The really noisy one Don't think so dude as this one isn't noisy at all, it's a great exhaust for anyone who doesn't want to much intrusion. At idle it's quiet as anything although my car only idles at 400rpm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_surj Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hi homer, its the silent hipower im asking about. Just heard the miami gt 1, and sounds awesome! Yea ive heard Dans and it does rumble quite nice. If its not that much louder than stock exhaust then i might leave it. I suppose i gotta see and hear one in person. Hey lubas im up for a meet anytime. you coming to bluewater next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey lubas im up for a meet anytime. you coming to bluewater next week? Just to be clear - the Silent Hipower is a very quiet exhaust, louder than stock, but no where near the volume of pretty much all other aftermarket exhausts. That’s the reason CW loves them as they will always pass track day noise restrictions. Anyone that suggest different is either confused or talking sh*te If you're after something noisy then the worlds your oyster! Of the 'loud' systems, I've never heard one that sounds less than great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_surj Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Cool. Theres a sound clip on the hks hipower website that sounds well nice. but i guess i gotta hear a few in person then decide. Thanks though guys. Surj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
