HKS on the Gurren, WTF?

Anyone who knows Hideki, knows that I'm Japanese through and through. And I tune cars in that sort of flair. When I saved the Gurren from destruction, the Flowmaster exhaust had rotted away and needed replacing. No, nothing but HKS would do for the Gurren. You see, back in the 90's you could see tuned Porsches, Ferraris and Corvettes flying down the expressways in Japan battling even more tuned RX7's, Skylines and 300zx's.




It started with a brief thought. Hideki, what machine would you of piloted in Japan to defeat your enemies? Well, the Gurren of course! So how would you of tuned the Gurren? Like a 300ZX of course! So the idea of an HKS exhaust system on my C4 Corvette was born. I managed to aquire two HKS Hiper mufflers, and fabbed up a 3" main pipe that splits into dual 2.5" pipes. The system is larger than the factory, has the distinct look I was going for, and probably picked up a few ponies over the old rotted system.
