HKS Exhaust

[97gsspyder]

I have a question....i've been looking for an exhaust to buy, and i've decided that i'm going with HKS carbon fiber/titanium exhaust, well i was checking out the specs on the exhaust, and the FWD exhaust piping is 15 mm's (5/8") smaller in diameter than the AWD exhaust...What the hell?....do they not have the same engine? this dosen't make sense to me? anyway...i was curious if i could buy the AWD exhaust and put it on my car? and i was also looking and the do have a universal carbon-fiber system, and that does have the bigger diameter piping, would the universal give me the same HP gains?

OMFG you really have no clue do you?

you do realise the NT spyders have a 4G64? 2.4L not the 4G63 2.0L?

1."Do they not have the same engine?"

Yup sure do the 4g63 to be exact.

2."I was curious if i could buy the AWD exhaust and put it on my car?"

Nope sorry wont Fit the way the piping fits go's under diffrently meaning path of the pipe travles under a diffrent route due to the fact of the Driveshaft is in the way.

3."I was also looking and the do have a universal carbon-fiber system"

HMm well the eclipse isnt a universal car with the following exception of the eagle Talon,ive been to HK$ page and they do have a universal muffler so you can use that, and go to a muffler shop and have custom piping made to the size you desire.

4."Would the universal give me the same HP gains?"

YES, but the gain on NT 4g64 is rather minimal to 2-3 horses with ALOT more noise if youre into that thing,

hope that helps

i forgot to mention that i am building a 4G63...sorry....and i'm fabricating a 3 inch exhaust and 3 intake for my car also....so i could just buy the muffler and it would basically be the same?
and acctually the exhaust the make for the FWD are made for the TSI and the GS-T as well as the GS and RS....both have the same smaller diameter piping, which is why it makes no sense because the TSI and GS-T have the same engine as the AWD, but yet only the AWD has the bigger diameter piping....see no sense....but anyway thanks for the replies

I think this would be your best bet
