Got a great deal on a four-month-old HKS cat-back for my classic. Immediate impressions are that it's definitely quieter than my old setup; I'm looking forward to getting it on the highway to see how it is there. Very pleased with the look; almost stock-ish and not ricey at all IMHO. I might need to get a bigger tip just so people will know I'm serious :D

My old exhaust will be for sale, as soon as I can get pics hosted and figure out which for sale forum to stick it in.

BTW: please let me know if the pics don't show, I'm still in the learning stages with Imagestation.

As of this morning: definitely quieter on the highway, but once again my @#()%@#(%& exhaust rattles. I don't know WTF the problem is, and I'm pretty bummed since this was the "quality part" that was supposed to end these problems :mad: It also doesn't fit exactly; the mid-pipe is actually rubbing the heat shields on one side. I think it may have been bent in shipping. I'm going out of town tomorrow and will screw with it when I get back.

Kent--

Looks goooood. Just ding/bend the heatshields underneath until there is no more rubbing/noise-making going on. One area to check out is the front crossmember.

Thanks for the prop, Greg; I'm really happy with the look and the tone - nice and deep, but quiet cruising.

I literally _just_ dealt with one of the problems - whether it left the factory this way, the previous owner did it, or UPS did it on its way to me, the B-pipe was bent! just enough that instead of running down the center of the tunnel it actually contacted one side. I took it off today and bent it to where it lines up almost perfectly. We'll see if this helps the rattle, but I don't have high hopes; the rattle has lived now through 3 or 4 different exhaust configurations. It only went away when I had the tailpipe on an almost rigid hanger for a while.

What might be a problem around the front crossmember?

The saga continues...

Went to wash the car and after re-aligning the midpipe the rattle is GONE! Merry Christmas to me! I've been dealing with that for too long...

I had the same one on my car and I loved it. No one even knew I had an exhaust and kept the cops from looking at my car for noises when cruising. Good buy and good luck with the rest of the car.

nice sleeping look,but when you mod it more it might change a little of course you should know because i dont even know how to change oil-well not really but you probably know more than me and you should keep on modding but nice car and exhaust by the way.Peace.
