^Thats not exactly what I'm looking for. I don't know how to describe that, but it doesn't quite look right.

Legamax=HKS
HKS ti tips=HKS

therefor=HKS


yea but not to nitpicky but you mention it wasn't just the tips. I wasn't debating whether it was or it wasn't "hks" just that it wasn't a "full titanium exhaust" and it was just the tips that was titanium. Either way I can see how it could've been misunderstood

You can't weld titanium and stainless together, they're usually riveted or bolted on when used in combination

FE3P had his tips riveted on. He has the Legamax exhaust. When he first got the vertex kit he had the tips put in as well, they were a bit too long so he had them shortened, and yes they are a one off.

XDEEDUBBX is correct! He's not called the HKS Junkie for nothing! hahaha
It's an HKS Legamax with 110mm HKS Ti tips. The tips had to be re-angled and extended about 3" in order to fit with the Vertex kit. Attached is the only decent pic I could find! I think kwescott took some better pics a while back.

My God. That is still my favorite 8 to date. So how much were the tips, and where can I get them? I guess I'd really have to find some that taper from 3.5in to 4in.+

FE3P or Xdeeddub should be able to hook you up. They are HKS exhaust tips. Send them a pm.

I got mine from JIC. They make the full titanium version (the one I have) & a stainless steel exhaust with ti tips (the exhuast pipes that exit the muffler are titanium bolt ons).

yeah, you may have to have some thicker piping welded on first, but it shouldn't be a problem beyond that. Kinda like what they do when you install a muffler that has a bigger inlet pipe than your car's stock pipe.

that is one beautiful craftwork of titanium, too bad JIC's titanium setups cost over a grand but you really cant get any good titanium setups for less than a grand anyway.
