Anyone here running a HKS exhaust?

I am ditching my Magnaflow cat back for a HKS and was wondering if anyone here had experience with them. The exhaust is ordered and should (better) be here this week.

Thanks.

Which one? I have heard the super dragger(if I remember correctly) it was a bit too loud for me. I went with the mugen twinloop, a bit pricey but the quality is unsurpassed. The sound is exactly the way I want, stealth until vtec then it roars.

Well, this is their Hi-performance line and on my car, 2001 civic EX, it will only be a rear section.

Definitely have not heard that one. I know that HKS has top notch build quality. Everyone that I have seen (exhausts) the welds have been almost sanitary.

I have the Hyper back section on my GS-R and the build quality is excellent. The sound is deep but not loud or "farty" and it looks awesome.

I'm going with a stealth exhaust on my 626. I may even go with duals (it is a V6) and set them up like the exhaust on the new V6 Accords with the mufflers and tips blacked out. 2.5" pipe split into 2" pipe and a pair of Walker Quiet Flow mufflers. I've heard them on an Impala SS and they are definitely quiet, barely more rumble at idle than stock.
