PROs: sounds good, looks good for its style

CONs: small piping, goes under rear LCA.

I'll be selling my fujitsubo soon if you're interested

I love my Hi-Power. Looks wonderful, canister isnt too gawdy and sounds great. I'm still using my stock cat, and its not annoyingly loud, but has a very nice tone to it. highway cruising is good, and VTEC sounds superb.


overall it gets 4/5 from me. QUALITY sh it

my homie (cspek) had the smaller of the two hi-power canister on his civic, and that **** sounds nice, even at vTEC...no raspy noises, and no ricey *** tickering ... all solid base, and even flow (with the occasional back-fires)

i'd get it if i were you...the Apexi N1 is too loud .... and too huge...(that is, if you were considering that as an alternate)

It doesn't go under the lca for a deeper sound dude. I have this exhaust and the sound is great. As far as a lowered car goes, it sucks because I scrape the **** out of it all the time.

sry to hear about your **** BUT we called and ask why it was under the control arm and not going over it and they said it was for a deeper and better sounds. and as or your rubbing issue, my freinds car is as low as his set up will allow and his does not scrape at all, and we live in CT/RI and these road suck. raise your car up if u dont like it ....... the end

Ok, not trying to be a dick but think about it. What affects the sound of an exhaust? If anything I would say the muffler and resonators have the greatest impact on sound. The reason the HKS exhaust and other similar ones go under the lca is to "eliminate unessesary bends" Still dont believe me? Read the **** yourself....the end

yes i kno but when u get rid of unessesary bends u get a better flow, creating a better deeper sound. i am not saying that is only reason it goes under the lca, i am just letting this guy kno it has a great sound to it and looks great.. get off me

the hi power is really nice, my friend had it on his 94 ls, with 4-2-1 dc sports header, sounds nice and subtle at low rpms, and opens up nicely at high end, nice angle, but smaller tip around 90mm, other then lets say the n1 and evo2, which are 115mm tips
