i used to own an all n/a built 1999 prelude with a straightpiped 3" exhaust. it had a resonator and then a turndown under the car.
that thing was ******* quick, but THAT sounded like a fartcan honda.
the HKS HI-Power does not, IMO. the only time mine gets raspy is between 4-6k, and i don't have a cat on mine.

I also like the idea behind the single sided exhaust and from most videos ive seen I really like the sound.
I have the HKS hi power exhaust on order maybe some day it will come in I mean its only been umm 20+ days since I ordered it. Im really getting anxious here.
I also must add it was deedubs videos on youtube that really got me liking the hi power.

I just installed the RB midpipe last night to add to my RB intake, duct, exhaust. Here's a sound clip, I think it's pretty nice and not too rice, sounds awesome at wide open throttle.
RB intake, midpipe & exhaust
NOTE: This is a sound clip of the Racing Beat exhaust and a midpipe, not HKS... just for comparison, I haven't heard the HKS Hi-Power in person yet to know how loud it is or anything.

So I received my HKS Hi Power Exhaust on saturday. I of course slapped it on as soon as I could. I have to say no videos can really do justice to the sound of this exhaust. At idle it sounds well awesome. Well really at every RPM the exhaust really sounds good. Doesnt sound ricey atleast not IMO it sounds like a real sports car. However for myself I do believe its to loud for my daily driving. The night after I installed it I stopped by Home Depot to pick up some things and on my way out I was cruising around 2000 rpm in 2nd gear and set off a car alarm! It was quite humorous. The exhaust almost seems like it has a megaphone attached to the muffler.
I for one like the entire idea behind the hks hi power. I like the single out since really it wasnt a true dual exhaust car in the first place. I like the fact the exhaust is extremely light and definately free flowing.
Overall I like the exhaust. The only complaint I can make is the exhaust is a bit to loud for my normal driving.(of course its just my opinion) However if I was 20 again id probably say its not loud enough. If you want a head turner this is it. It will grab peoples attention in a 2.5 mile radius
Anyway I plan on adding the ApexI active tail silencer to the exhaust. I feel for my daily driving this is the answer or atleast thats what I gathered from mysql's thread about it(the silencer in the hi power exhaust). Atleast then when I do go to the track or meet.. I can remove the silencer and have the extremely vocal exhaust system.

ok. got a weird thing going on. at idle, when the rpms dip from time to time, im pretty sure my exhaust squeaks. at first i thought it was a belt, but then i left my car on and just listened under my car, and it is coming from somewhere on my exhaust. any ideas?
