i think i'm goint to wait until sumer, that way most companies will have exhausts out, and i can compare. i'm still holding out for the T1R, A&J said that it'll sound like the j's 50rs, but not titanium so it'll be alot cheaper
ive also been talking to ajr about it and from what they told me i got the impression it would be not quite as loud as the j's. they told me it would have the dolphin tip and just slightly louder than the t1r 50s v2(which i like the sound of but thought it was significantly quieter than j's) because of the smaller resonator. i could be wrong but either way the fact that i believe it will be quieter and available sooner than the j's i dont mind waiting a couple weeks and paying more than the hks. also my friend wait4thefit had the hks and i liked the sound and didnt think it was too loud, but he got a ticket for it. probably because its so obvious by the size that its an aftermarket exhaust. the t1r should be much more discreet
We have the HKS exhaust installed on our Fit, and will have a dyno report in the July issue of Honda Tuning Magazine, available in early June. I can tell you that the sound, IMO, is excellent. There's no "drone" under minor load, and even at full throttle, it sounds sporty and not hollow.
Coming from the Civic world, there were a ton of exhausts that just sounded ridiculous, and thankfully HKS didn't go that route.

advance speed shop isn't that far from my place.. picked up Nokyo Artic Yellow bulbs from them. Small little shop. If you have any trouble, I can always go down there and question them in person for you Options Auto is a bit further, but if anything were to come up.. anything for a fellow fitfreak

Picked up a floor jack and stands on the way home so I'll have it installed tomorrow after work...and yes I'll post some sound/video. Kinda surprised at the diameter of the tip. From the pics posted upstream it didn't look that much larger than stock. Not complaining I'm sure it'll look plenty sweet once installed...

Very nice! I would greatly appreciate it if you could post the weight of the HKS and the stock muffler.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you and + rep!
That is pretty good as I think the Titanium TR1 is just under 9 lbs (presuming that is about as light as they are going to get, and that one IS SPENDY)
Will be interesting to see the stock weight.
