HMS exhaust just arrived, getting it installed this week. Here are some pictures of the system, exhaust is handmade and the build quality is really impressive.
I will try to post some videos of the system if anyone is interested, since I know when I was looking for pictures or videos of the system I couldn't find any.
Can't wait to hear what it sounds like!

Yes, please post some videos inside and outside the car, with the valves open and closed.

Took awhile but I finally got some videos. Just interior, I will get some from the outside soon.

How much was it? And where did you order from? Their website seems to be sooooooo slow right now

Thanks guys, I really like the tone of it. I bought it from GMP Performance, I ended up paying $3300.

I always forget that the price of stainless steel rises as the price of a car goes up lol.

I am still looking for an affordable quality valved exhaust, just throwing that in to the aether. Looking forward to hearing some video clips as I couldn't find many examples of this system online.

No such thing. Lol. You will need to have a custom exhaust made with exhaust valves to come anywhere near "affordable".

The HMS looks and sounds amazing, definitely in for more sound clips!

Also, curious what the device/button you use to actuate the valves looks like.

$3300 isn't bad considering Milltek and Armytrix are priced higher Would love to hear more sound clips. Is it really loud when the valves are open?

The exhaust isn't too loud below about 3000rpm, but after that it starts to come alive and is "loud."

Here is a picture of the button that actuates the valves. The ring lights up red when the valves are open which is pretty cool, and it feels and looks good quality.

The button can be placed somewhere else as well, this is just where my shop thought was best. Apparently it is supposed to be able to be placed where the cigarette lighter is but apparently that was very difficult to do.
Here is a video from the outside!

Sounds great, thanks for sharing! That button is pretty cool as well. I imagine at this point you're leaving it on 'red' most of the time?

I like the sound of that - thanks for the video.

That button is badass! Very cool!

You're in Canada and bought from GMP??? That's awesome! You got an awesome deal because I think that exhaust usually goes for $5k.

LOL at all the people <gasping> at the price. You got to pay to play. People driving $60k cars need to stop being so cheap or calling out those who are willing and capable to shell out $$$ for toys for their cars.


I agree with Maitre Absolut though, not a fan of the tips. But that can be easily remedied and you can get 3rd party tips to enhance the look.

Thanks guys, No problem don't mind sharing I know there is next to no information or videos of it. And yes button is red 95% of the time haha.

Agreed on the price, I definitely found it to be worth it! Yup in Canada and bought from GMP...

Yeah wish the tips were slightly bigger and better but not a huge issue to me, but yes could easily do that and get some new ones.

That looks nice and well integrated, no doubt, very clean. I would actually install the button in the coin-slot panel though (I use that 12v socket to power my phone at the track), exactly like the one you have, very cool! Where did you get the carbon interior matching panel from and do you mind sharing the cost?

FWIW, GMP's website lists the price at $3,995, at $3,300 this is on my list, at $4k I am not so sure. Sounds amazing though!
