Damn he needs to slap Juan around a bit and make him post up a list of shit they do. I stopped in there the other day to see his car and he redid all of his exhaust and downpipe . It came out looking sweet

Javier can definitly do exhaust. What DP you got? If it is a Titan or RMM one you can probably do it yourself at home on jackstands.

Im still looking around but I think I am going to get an HKS downpipe. And Im probably going to get an HKS Hi-power exhaust.

Then it should not be that hard to do it should just bolt up with no modifying.

Not really. My choice would be either HKS carbon TI, HKS racing TI, or the ebay replica of the carbon TI (same exact thing side to side with the real one, except it weighs 9 lbs more and costs $650

I was looking at the HKS carbon Ti and it is pretty much the same as the hks hi-power just that the carbon ti has carbon fiber shell on the muffler, and titanium tip. is it worth an extra $175? would it perform better than the hi-power?

The piping to the carbon ti is bigger than the other. I think it is 3.5" versus 3". Obviously the bigger the exhaust the better on a turbo car.

Right now nothing lol, I have had an Original TRD Gen 2 exhaust on my old BPU one loved how it sounded, quite until you got on it. I had a HKS TI (4") replica on my current one when I was BPU, sounded like a turbo diesel truck, mean as hell when you turned it on, I also have a replica of the Original TRD exhaust that I was thinking of putting on this one but I might just have a shop custome make me a 4" turbo back exhaust or get another HKS Ti replica or real HKS carbon Ti.
Really at BPU levels you are not giving up much between them I would say by going with a 4" exhaust you will have a bit more peak power but you will lose a bit of bottom end. It is all about preference and what you like at this point.
I just have one thing to say, if you are going to spend money on an intake DO NOT BUY an HKS one! The only one worth buying is the Max Air box if not keeping your stock intake with a good filter in there.

thanks for the help. I think I just might go with the HKS Hi-power exhaust. the carbon ti is a little to much $$$. maybe some time in the future ill get the carbon ti.
For the intake I always had in mind of getting the K&N filter w/Max Air Box. do you know anywhere that sells them for a decent price?

Its usually a very very thin layer of carbon fiber around the regular tip. Id prob go with the ebay one in that case.

The only companies I know that sell them are Titan and MVP motorsports. I would just go through MVP.

Javier shop is locating in lehigh/ fort myers border. its on colonial/Lee Blvd. its after 82 if your coming from Fort Myers. you take a left on the Hess gas station and its on the right. his number is 239-745-9008 and he can give you a price around how much it would be. he can do the downpipe also. all you need to buy is the flange or use your stock one if its the same. they do good work and cheap price.
