Nice Comparisson
This has been very helpfull, i am looking at installing a new exhaust to go along with me HKS intake in the spring, once my baby comes out of storage.. It's sad seeing her covered up in the garage all winter.

hey guys I have searched several threads and listened to several clips but I'm still trying to decide if I would like to buy the HKS Legamax or the AP exhaust I'm looking for something that is going to sound deep(not ricer) and that can give me the more hp(not too worried about it beeing street legal) so I would like to hear ur experiences with these exhausts
thanx
thanx

I still think the turbo xs exhaust is frickin awesome! The sound is deep and also kinda loud, but thats how I like it. Alot of people complain about the tips being to short and they are short. The length of these tips really make this exhaust almost look stock so when the police cruise behind me they can hear the exhaust, but don't know which car to yank

hey did anyone touch base on the expensive but universally admired sounding hks? haha ive been looking at buying exhaust specifically the hks or greddy but have not yet made up my mind...does anyone have a suggestion based on hp increase, also gotta have the more aggressive sound! any comments suggestions?

along with my earlier post i have another question. when putting a new exhaust on a STREET LEGAL rx8 if i were to do a universal HKS Hi-power can, would i need to install a new muffler as well or would it be built into that can?

well im kinda looking for the sound of a suburu STI, the deep throaty sound with enough decibles to blow out the eardrums with a 9000 Rev-out...which is why im leaning towards the hi-power pipe and wondering if its necessary to have a muffler if i bought just the carbon fiber pipe

lol sorry to bust ur bubble,but helix no longer makes the exhaust,u'll have to buy it from some one that actually has it,there was only so much they made,and i don't know the exact number,sum1 correct me if im wrong but i believe they only made about 100 and sum change

I don't think there is a better sounding exhaust than the turbo xs header back the hks hi power is a good exhaust ,but I didn't really like the the sound of it on the 8. Go to youtube and listen to both of these exhausts on an 8.

i have been checking them out and im still not sure, the single out HKS sounds very close to what im looking for but so does the XS so im not quite sure. im gonna continue my research, thanks for the suggestions gents
