HKS Single Exit Exhaust and Rear Tow Strap Install DIY

In this video I'll be uninstalling my Invidia N1 Catback and replacing it with the HKS Single Exit Exhaust; I'll also do a sound comparison toward the end of the two exhausts. Also I'll show you how to install a rear tow strap in the opening where there is no longer an exhaust pipe. This process will be the same for the FRS, BRZ, or GT86.
Exhaust Setup:
SBD500x piping all the way to the catback
Favorite Tools:
M12 Fuel Ratchet by Milwaukee: amzn.to/2LAzhtl
M18 Mid-Torque 1/2" by Milwaukee: amzn.to/2JBdqzv
Torin Aluminum Jack Stands: amzn.to/2LI3XZN
Strongway Bottle Jack: amzn.to/2Jq8NcJ
My Recording Equipment:

Wow that sounds amazing ! Been looking to go single exit exhaust

[@MarkMethods]

Great sound for the money, the coating keeps it looking nice under the car too.

[@K03sport]

the fact that the HKS pipes are coated is a bonus in my book, unless the metal is just mild or aluminized steel underneath the coating and the rust will pop through from the inside-out. I guess Ti is probably the best metal to have in a salty environment, whether by the coast is in the snow belt. I just wish the 5-6 inch barrel mufflers didn't look so obvious and the tip diameter was less attention grabbing.

I bought one waiting for the pkg

[@scottmcintyre3974]

i know this is an older video but does the exhaust tip only come in that colour or is there a plain silver one available?

[@ceantolentino6207]

I'm curious if the new gens have that bolt for to strap?

[@ravi_svn]

I’m stuck in a debate between the the Invidia N1 and the HKS Hi-Power single exit . What would you say is the better end for daily driving? it seems it the video that the exhausts are equally as loud 😂 I’m hoping to get a deeper sound

[@MarkMethods]

They are both extremely loud, my N1 had some leaks so my opinion may be skewed; the N2 may have less issues with leaking but it'll probably be just as loud. The HKS directs the sound away from the interior better and was better for a daily commute and being able to talk inside the cabin in my opinion.

[@ravi_svn]

@@MarkMethods I think I’ve made my decision, appreciate the reply Mark ! thanks

[@rtatis]

Helpful video. Thanks!

[@MarkMethods]

No problem, thanks for stopping by!

[@Needsmorehp]

Sounds sick! Any other mods you did to make it sound that great?

[@bhavneetsaini7941]

Is that a viable tow strap location and also do you know the torque spec of that bolt for the tow strap?

[@John_R98]

So the mounting location for the tow strap is just for aesthetic reasons correct? I would think you'd want to mount it to the actual tow eye location just above it with the plastic flap removed. Great video just curious about that strap.

[@MarkMethods]

This fills the bare minimum for the drift club requirement; I agree the toe eye would be the ideal safe location if you need to actually use it.

[@asabokim]

Hello! Does the SBD front pipe have a resonator or anything of that sort? Or is it just a straight pipe? Sounds great with the HKS!

[@MarkMethods]

It's just a straight pipe, thanks!

[@vyau8884]

Not very loud, cannot hear the exhuast sound while driving😊

[@guca03]

this exhaust work with stock front pipe?

[@marcopei7959]

Hi, how's the drone with this catback? Now i have a n1, and want to switch to a single exit but don't want to be louder/ have more drone.

[@MarkMethods]

It's extremely quiet in the cabin in comparison to the N1, it's louder for everyone else but it seals better than the N1 which results in a quieter cabin. If you like the sound of and rasp of a Civic Si, you'll like the single exit; drone is non-existent.

[@marcopei7959]

@@MarkMethods thanks for the answer. now i have to order one!

[@MarkMethods]

Awesome! Link up a video or post when you do, I'd love to hear/see your setup.

[@BryanSoyinthisane]

How's the drone on the HKS? I have an axle-back on and it's a little to droney and loud for my wanting as a daily driver.

[@MarkMethods]

The drone really is not bad compared to the Invidia N1; it's still loud and sounds a little like a Civic but it's quiet enough I can talk inside my car again.

[@BryanSoyinthisane]

Mark Methods is it more deep tone ?

[@MarkMethods]

@@BryanSoyinthisane IMO I think the N1 has a more deep tone, I'd almost say the HKS sounds similar to a modified Civic.
