Anyone using HKS legamax exhaust?

[gar_lei]

Hello

I wanna know if anyone have tried the HKS Legamax exhaust? I really like the look of it. But I really dun want sth louder then stock.

Please let me know.

don't know about legamax in particular, but racing beat is probably the quietest and civilized/classy exhaust.

I think its pretty safe to assume it will be louder than stock...

1200 for an exhaust...damnnnn lol

+1 on the racing beat, nice deep tone... I also hear corksport has a nice tone as well. Do not know much about HKS legamax.

I'm not 100% but I think floodgatez has it on his car.

I'm debating between Tanabe and HKS
Tanabe, I'm sure it's quieter then stock but looks... ordinary
HKS looks awesome but I dunno if it's any louder then stock. But it looks really awesome!
And apparently the Legamax models are suppose to sound quieter then other HKS exhausts.

If you don't want something louder than stock, and you're only installing a CBE, then why install anything at all then if all you want is looks?

Could you just install a exhaust tip or something? It's alot of money just so it doesn't look "ordinary"

but that's just my thoughts. What's your end goal? Just looks or performance?

edit: Ok I see you have a 2011 speed which now I get why you would want to change the look. no offense to those that still have stock (boyracer..haha), but again it's just the tips that you're going to see.

looks good but is it worth all that cash, especially if you don't want something louder, you might end up having to install extra resonators. OR you might actually like the growl. =)

i just read up on them. both are axle back and almost $1k <faints>. im sure the quality is top notch, but axle back is not worth $1000. the racing beat ms3 is cat back and as good quality if not better (slightly less $$$). also its very quiet and pleasant (not something i would describe corksport with) and am sure will yield some power gains at the very least (compared to axle back). no titanium tips though...

I'm ok with the price tag and I know there's not much performance gain even if I install a Catback. What I really care is the noise...

It seems like whatever exhaust you go with you're probably going to have to add an additional resonator

Except racing beat and Tanabe which r both quieter then stock.
