I had the OEM cat on my Greddy v2 - sounded great. It's a great, deep & bassy exhaust. Plus like others have said it adds a bit of power.

How do you like the HKS SPs on the street? Considering switching up my suspension setup, and these are on my shortlist.

They are completely fine on the street in my opinion. My car is not a daily driver, but I would have no issues with the SP's if my car were a daily. The suspension feels firm but never harsh. I had swift spec-r/koni before and while those were much softer, going over bumps in the road would always have me cringing because it always felt jarring. Now with the SP's I find myself cringing expecting that same feeling, but I'm always surprised by how nicely the bumps are absorbed.

But keep in mind I have never ridden in a setup such as Ohlins, so I may not know what I'm missing. But for a $1700 coilover, these are awesome.

Yeah I'm still iffy on the HFC. I know if I'll ever need to smog the car, I'll be grumbling to myself for having to swap the OEM back in.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! The thing holding me back on getting an exhaust at all is figuring out what to do with the stock unit. I'm renting from my bro at the moment so I don't have the luxury of just storing it in the garage. Best case scenario is if I can line up a buyer for the "uk modded" exhaust

Who knows.... I'm horrible with planning. I usually book my tickets a week in advance LOL Probably closer to summer because I'm going to be traveling for work a lot between now and then.

One week in advance! Hahah. I wished I had that luxury, I hate planning too. But my work wants us to book as early as possible.
