Can everyone give me some advice towards the HKS Carbon-Ti Exhaust system because I'm planning on running a B18C5-Type R with Turbo and my friend adviced me to purchase the HKS Carbon-Ti exhaust.
The problem i have is that it only shows up as for:

EAGLE Talon
LEXUS IS300
MAZDA RX-7
MITSUBISHI Eclipse GST
MITSUBISHI Eclipse GSX
SUBARU Impreza WRX
TOYOTA Supra

and I have a 1997 cx hatch. So if I'm still able to purchase this exhaust could someone point out what type of TIP DIAMETER and PIPING DIAMETER I could use??
Sorry for all these questions just that I'm just getting into this tuning and I know everyone keeps telling everyone search first etc. and I did.

 

Titanium exhaust systems sound like ****. Get a normal, 3-inch APEXi or KTeller and call it a day.

 

any other advice?

 

I like the HKS and apexi N1.......if you want the hks then you will probably have to just buy the muffler or the rear section and then go and get your other piping bent to fit your car. goodluck

Its not ti, just the tip is. My boy has the hks cf on his sti. Its overpriced and clearly holds no function over a run of the mill hi-power or n1 (clearly, if you think about it, its adding weight. your adding cf to the exhaust canister. Heres the only advice that matters. If your going turbo swap in a c1. if your going na get the c5. why pay all that extra money ,and then pull off everything that makes it an r.

 

the hks wont fit in an ek

 

knotty_dread: Okay all makes sense and good to have advice for someone that has one (son). What do you mean the c1 (what does that stand for..)

 

hey why dont u just buy the hks carbon ti- MUFFLER and have it welded on. thats what i did on my car. looks and sounds really nice! uhmm what i have is the universal one. they also make the turbo ones which is really big..

c1=gsr. Alot of people just need to have a c5 swap. If your going to turbo without rebuilding internals, go gsr. Itr motors are built to be NA. You have to remove everything that makes them an R if you want to have a reasonable turbo set up. Just take the money youll be saving on the swap, and get yourself a quality turbo kit.

That makes absolutely no sense. You are keeping just about EVERYTHING that makes it an r. The tranny, the head, the intake manifold. The only thing that changes is the header and intake. High compression turbo setups rock. They are a bit dangerous to tune but still great to drive when done right.

 

okay will look into this more! thanks for the advice, please keep it coming

When reading therse two statements together, they seem a little contradictory dont they?

Top-fuel. The differences between an R and a gsr: R has an Open combustion chambered head with little quench, polished im, the runners are also shorter with more plenum. cams, pistons, and I dont think i missed anything else.

High compression turbo set-ups are wak. Think about what a turbo does and how it makes power. Let teh turbo make power, not a high comp engine. If you want more power and better reliability go gsr. If you like the tranny, get an r tranny. Youll still save money.

 

okay thats what i needed, someone to explain it properly to me. Thanks alot and I'm still looking around but also looking at the different prices for gsr's. But thanks again!

 

yeah dude the titanium exhausts sound kinda funny, stick with the alumnium/steel

 

Haters! Titanium exhausts sound like *drool*
