After ordering it back in August my HKS downpipe/frontpipe is coming in Monday. It will be paired with HKS Legamax...can't wait to hear it.

I just took mine off. Too much stink, too much noise and too much rasp. Everywhere I go, I get unneeded attention.

Switching out for a rv6 catted downpipe instead.

It's not daily driven so I'm okay with it!

Mine isn't too. I've got a 2016 328d touring and a 2015 vw touareg tdi for daily and beater. Also have a 2016 m4gts as summer weekend car.

I have only put on 1200miles on the type r in 8 months of ownership.

I can't believe you waited so long for that DP/FP and it is not even a true 3in diameter! I am a necked-down exhaust hatero_O but to each their own.

nice! Im debating doing this set up or the RV6 Catted to bolt up to my HKS Hi-Power Spec-L. It would be nice to match all HKS for my exhaust, but slightly concerned how much louder its going to make it, although the Spec-L is a lot tamer than the Legamax. Definitely do not want drone as mine is DD.

My goal was to run full HKS exhaust and intercooler. I like the legamax sound and quality of their product. The intercooler and charge pipes were excellent quality.

My plan was also to run full HKS as well, but the catless downpipe is just too loud for me with the Legamax exhaust. Also, I prefer to have the heatshield back on to look stock under the hood.

I have heard the Legamax and Spec-L side by side, they are about the same in noise, just a slightly different tone between the 2. The Legamax is a little deeper because of its 3" piping and more sound deadening in the rear cans.

I totally forgot about the heat shield, guess that’s not an option for the HKS?

Good to hear, I like HKS stuffs. I have have their intercooler and charge pipe kit.. was debating to get their legamax and downpipe..
but I dont want the fame smell so end up didnt go with HKS dp.. legamax on it's own is too quiet so at the end I only have HKS intercooler and pipe.
really interested in hearing how it sounds with full hks exhaust. please share your thought after installation and would be nice with video too..
mine has aFe catted dp fp, ceramic coated, wrapped, catback I have Ark DT-S ...it looks good, sounds good but it droins

I actually like the tone with just the legamax... it got deeper after a month or so

For sure the lower heat shield is not going to mount back on. The top heat shield can be mounted back on with 2 of the 3 mounting location and you will have to bend the shit out of it to fit and not rub on the hks down pipe.
