Lot's been said bout this, plenty in the archives.
I think there's only one model.
Bottom line for the b13 HKS is; good quality, decent price and great subdued sound. My PRI intake is louder at anything past half throttle. I love it. Looks classy too. Best price i found was at NOPIonline.

Lets just say that I don't even know I have an exhaust sometimes. Nobody even thinks I have an exhaust. If you are looking for something quiet and nice looking go for this thing. Quality exhaust.

I agree 100%. My cold air intake is much louder than the exhaust at full throttle.

I just installed one as well. I don't think it is louder than the stock exhaust. It sounds better, though.

Yeah I heard pete's car. Wassup bro? it is quiet, except when you hear the intake hoot at high rpm's. Same as my 200 was with a greddy ex. and hotshot cai. the Greddy wasn't loud for me at all either on my b14. It depends on your taste.

With my bolt ons, it's remarkably quiet at some rpm's/speeds. Accelerating, and coasting down are harmonically interesting, but I can't say I don't like it. I do, but it is a cheap ass muffler. I guess I can tolerate a lot of exhaust noise

Anyway the point is, you can buy the same type muffler, (maybe $70) , and have your 2.25" exhaust bent up for like 250. You save one bill, more by the time you pay shipping. Just as good, and quiet if you choose.

HKS Full Sport Exhaust, imo The most quiet classic exhaust you can find and very stealthy too:D very conservative and does not attract attention, just the way i like it .
i have had mine since 94-95 and is very durable, no rust at all. 60mm diameter piping which is 2 and 3/8 inches i think (someone correct me if i am wrong)

Supra = Oranges

I used to have the Super Dragger on my B14 (pics on my sig). Although it is signifcantly louder than my stock, it is quiet compared to most Honda exhausts I hear on the road. Very good quality. Too bad I was in trouble financially and had to sell it. :( I totally regret it. At least I still have the pics. :D
