Sound wise, this is a quiet system. With the windows up the system can not be heard, and is very easy to live with. If you step on the throttle you will hear a nice rumble, but nothing that will wake up the neighbors.
The fit and finish on this HKS system is as good as it gets. Everything lined up perfectly with not issues.

The reason for the price is 2 reasons.
1) The GR chassis use a completely different exhaust layout, and if you notice in the images. Its a much more involved manufacturing process compared to the previous GD chassis. More material, and more involved manufacturing results in a higher price.
2) This system is Jasma Legal in Japan (Japanese version of DOT). To have products be legalized by any government or racing group, increases cost. This is similar to SFI or FIA rating on racing seats and other components. For example, this is for example why Sparco and Recaro seats are so expensive. Last I heard about 2 years ago, to get a SFI rating on a seat, cost 25,000 per seat. And DOT/ Jasma ratings can be just as high, if not higher.

very nice how much did that set you back?
