hks no good? i thought they were known for good stuff?

Dow.tom 02-13-2008 11:32 PM

i have an hks mani, it's solid.

rflynn1 02-18-2008 12:27 PM

i have always felt weird giving away 3k of hard earned money to a web site where i never know what im gonna get...maybe its just me

UrbanSoot 02-18-2008 12:35 PM

clever first post ^

Zabac 02-18-2008 06:21 PM

looking at that kit i can not justify calling it $3K

PaKMaN 02-18-2008 06:24 PM

Manifold is definately solid. But for $3k.. man. I'd rather have an HKS Manifold + GT2871R + 550's ans MS.

cjernigan 02-18-2008 06:32 PM

I like my HKS manifold, it's a good unit. I prefer side mount manifolds though.

PaKMaN 02-18-2008 06:40 PM

It sits up too high.

Exactly why I don't like it.

PaKMaN 02-18-2008 06:42 PM

LOL we both contradicted our first posts

cjernigan 02-18-2008 06:45 PM

It is good, stout, and cheap. Everything else sucks about it.

Dow.tom 02-18-2008 08:37 PM

it may sit up high but everything fits find, the only downfall would be the downpipe fabracation you need to make. tight bends... but it works well.

Efini~FC3S 02-18-2008 08:54 PM

Looks like the kit comes with a downpipe.

Seems to be a lot of money for what it is, of course I'm sure there's some brand name whores out there that are willing to pay extra for the name.

That's why the HKS is usually written as HK$.
